Alone In The Night

It is tough to stay alone even for a few hours. Communication and company are the very natural needs for humans ( both men and women ). No doubt, we all like to be alone sometimes. I have always enjoyed a few moments of solitude and freedom. But it was a terrible night last Sunday when I had to spend a night alone at home. My parents were away in Srinagar, as my grandpa ( grand-father ) had suddenly taken seriously I'll. I took it as a challenge initially and refused to take the neighbours help. I felt free and made myself my favourite snacks and started watching cartoons on t.v. As it grew darker, I felt a strange stillness around me. I tried to concentrate on a book but couldn't. I tried to sleep but felt very afraid. Even a little sound scared me. I couldn't sleep for long. Then the phone bell rang and I was terrified by its very sound. Finally, I picked it up. It was my mother and I felt relieved talking to her. After a while, I did get some sleep but I dreamt all horror stuff. With the morning light entering my room. I woke up to a nice and bright day. Thank god!
