A Mysterious Corner of my House

Nirmesh Rajput, Class IX A

It had been a long time since I had been living in the quarters and paying rent each month. Now it was time to buy a new house. My friend found a perfect house for me and I decided to shift immediately. I could not meet the person selling the house. My friend fixed the deal for me.
I soon shifted to my new house. It was perfect. The house was big for me as I lived alone. One day, I thought of exploring the basement which I had not checked out earlier. It had not been opened since I had bought the house.
I looked around in search of something interesting. The corner to the left was very dark, which was strange at that point of time since it was sunny outside. I thought of taking a closer look. As I moved closer to that corner, I could hear voices warning me, ‘Go back, don’t come near!’
I ignored those voiced as my curiosity had the better of me. I reached that corner and stood there for some time. I examined the whole area, and found nothing. I went back to my study. I was not able to stop thinking about the corner. Something was there, something I had not seen, something evil.
At night, after dinner, I was compelled to go back and again have a look at that corner. I appeared to be the same as earlier. Just one thing which had gone unnoticed was a book kept there. It did not belong to me.
I picked it up and started reading it. It had some strange incantations in it which were like tongue twisters. As I read them, the corner began to shake and I was sucked into the book.

Now, I roam as a ghost. The corner of the house is where I reside. I wait for the next owner to visit. Will it be you?
