A SHORT STORY


The strange man 1


It was a beautiful night, my family sat at the balcony, laughing and chattering their hearts out. I was humming to myself as a I was playing with my toys.
It was a strong wind that was blewing in my dad's room that took my attention,the wind was so scary and terrifying.
He stood behind the curtains, it was the first time I saw him, I hid myself in a corner for him not to notice, I saw my dad coming from the balcony into his room, I guessed the noises of the windy man that entered his room has attracted him , for some minutes everything stood still, I peeped to see what was happening, I could see clearly the huge and terrifying windy man, he was standing in front of my Dad and his back was facing me, I could see fear written all over my Dad's face he knelt down, crying silently and whimpering in front of this strange man, his voice sounded like a thunderstorm, thick and loud, I marvel as he spoke with his voice sounding so authoritative
" Do you think you can hide from me forever?" He asked my Dad with a terrifying laughter
"Please don't take me now" my Dad replied with a shaking voice, he ignored my Dad's plea and nod in disagreement. He held my Dad's hands and a great light springed across the room, the light was so blinding that I had to close my eyes, I was so scared that I passed out. That was the last time I saw my Dad, as I was told he passed away, I insisted that it was a strange man that took him away but they didn't believe me because I was young.
