It happened to me...

The night was magical...purely magical , enchanting and mersmerising...
the moon shone brightly outside the glass window..the window had no bars or grills..just glass shutters with heavy curtains which at that time were drawn...

the road below the window was absolutely lonely..no human being, no animal. no one was there..only the tall palm trees were swaying to the cool breeze blowing....
standing at the window sill, i cud feel the air kissing my tresses left open..my face ,wud at times get covered by my hair which i would then push back with my fingers...
i looked at the moon..it was shining in its full glory..beautifying the black sky and also lighting the dark road...

slowly i closed my eyes with the image of the lovely moon in my eyes..wen i opened my eyes, i saw a shadow on the road..i brought my head out of the window to get the source of the shadow..but i cud see no one..
i strained my neck and eyes a bit more..only to find someone walking away on the road in the opposite direction..was it a man? or a woman?..i think it was a woman because something of her dress was flowing in the wind....
but the woman was walking away from me while the shadow was coming towards me..!!!...
the woman, strangely, did not cast a shadow at alll....
and the shadow surprisingly did not have a body...
both were walking in the opposite directions...

unable to contain my curiosity i just rushed downstairs on the road...and wen i reached there, the shadow came nearer and nearer and then it just crossed me!!....it walked through me....
in a complete state of fear and palpitation, a stream of sweat engulfed my entire being and i stood there shivering on a may night..
wen i tried to see the distant woman walking away..i cud see no one..and i ran towards the path where i had seen the woman convinced tht the shadow had something to do with the woman....

but i cud find nothing and so panting with fatigue...i turned back..and wat did i see...the same woman..!! right behind me....unclear face...unkept hair...ugly hands....
and then ,,,she brought her hands closer to my neck....and my heart leapt out..and a sudden loud noise entered my ears.......
her hands were by then firmly lanted on my neck..i tried to free myself from her grip but she overpowered me.....
my mouth was open..eyes were out like marbles....i desperately wanted to scream but cud not...
my voice did not just come out of my mouth...
and the loud noise just burst my ears...and then ,,,,and then,,,i woke up ot the sound of my alarm clock...sweating profusely..with eyes wide and happy to realise that it was a nightmare i can never forget....
