The little One

I usually come late at night from work.

My job is such that it requires me to stay late at night . and I often reach home by 1 am or 2 am at night . when everybody sleeps I work and when I reach home , it becomes so quiet that you hear the sound of insects from the nearby ground. well , its not only me who works night shifts , there are so many different professions that do night shifts , but I am one of them .

When I started doing night shifts it was difficult for me to cope with it only coz it was night shift. at first it becomes very difficult for ones body to adjust , to stay awake and to keep its eyes open all night , its against the natural body schedule. but work is work and duty calls. so job needs to be done.

Anyway , I am not here to tell you about night shifts , I am here to tell you what happens at night when I reach home and it happens frequently.

I took this picture recently , which you see above. I took this coz its home to little one. I call it little one coz it is little and its my secret friend.

One morning I was doing jogging in this ground which is in my apartment next to my flat. in the morning at 4 when its still dark and quiet , one can come across number of dark creatures , some known and some unknown.

Animals like cats and dogs are regular visitors to my apartment and they do no harm to anyone. so its fine with us. on this fateful day when I was jogging I heard a noise , like a scream , it was like a modified cat sound. like cats do me ew . it was anywhere in between me aa uuu eww. I knew it was not a cat but it did sound like a cat. I stopped and kept on hearing this sound from the corner where we see lights , right underneath this light she lives. behind the pole.

I stopped and tried to reach closer to the light , I saw wo eyes, glowing eyes, and then I noticed it had no four legs like cats. it had two legs and it was standing in upright position.

I was perplexed . I had courage to reach closer but as I stepped closer its roar increased it became more challenging . it was like its warning me to stay away and not to come any closer .

Luckily I had my smart phone with me and I took no time in clicking this pic.

Its there , I know you cant see but its right there , behind the pole , when I took this picture I knew this thing was watching me , was watching my every move and it was there.

I decided to stay away from it and respect its presence.

Now every time I reach home at night , little ones know my presence and tries to call me down from distance and sometime I do visit little one.

But from safe distance.

 

The night it Happened

Few days ago me and my friend were coming to home after work .  we left office at 1 am and that day I had driven to work in my own car instead of boarding office cab , coz it was weekend so I decided to bring my own car and my friend who happens to be a female and my co worker left work late at night. on the way we bought snacks and beer . late at night we were hoping that we will not cross the line with law and will drive home safely and slowly. as it was a long route and on usual days it would take an hour to reach home . but that day we had different plan . we decided to drive slowly and to make a stop at one place where we can talk and gossip for long hours and then drive home.

As planned we drove slowly and stopped at one place , we had our snacks and we chit chatted . during this time ‘mags’ my friend’s name , saw a car parked right next to us .

She said she has seen this car before , I asked her where , she replied that this car is been following us ever since they left office. I said no , but she suggested me to go and check this car , lets go and have a word with the owner. I said alright. I was curious to know what was going on in here.

I walked up to the car leaving mags behind . as I approached the car I noticed its window were down and there was no driver. and when I looked inside I saw an ignition key , It appeared driver had left in a hurry, I decided to return and spoke to mags about this . she said its fine and then we decided to leave . as prepared to leave we noticed that our car was not in sight. I was puzzled to not to see my car. we looked around but we found it no where .

This is when mags told me to go and check the car we just noticed which belonged to someone but not us. for some stupid reason out of no where we decided to drive in abandoned car. we drove all the way and it looked very familiar , the car which we drove looked like we have been in it before.

I left mags at her home and drove to my home. we slept half of the day and woke up next afternoon like nothing happened.

I decided to went down to take a look at the car we drove last night.

It was my car.
