Crappie


In the unoccupied room of an apartment lived Crappie, the timid ghost. Everything scared this little ghost and most of the time it hid in a broken closet at the corner of the room. The closed doors of the room never opened and only streaks of light peeped in through broken doors of the windows.

One morning when everyone in the apartment has gone for work, Crappie heard someone walking in the corridor.

Crappie slowly lifted the lid of the closet. Crappie could not see anyone through the crack in the window door. He can see only a black spider slowly weaving the web across the window bar.

At the same time, Crappie saw a big lizard moving slowly on the wall. Crappie has not seen anything other than the black spider inside the room. This is the first time Crappie saw a lizard inside the room. Wondering how it came inside the room, Crappie called the lizard.

‘Hi, May I know who you are?’ But, the lizard keen on catching the fly sitting at the end of the wall, did not replied to him. Fearing it may eat him, Crappie looked at the lizard once again. ‘Will it eat me?’ Fear gripped Crappie.

‘Oh, who will help me to get out of this room?’ Crappie started to worry. After some time the lizard moved away and Crappie felt relieved. Evening set in and the entire place became dark.

Crappie came out of the closet and looked outside through the crack in the window. In the middle of the corridor hang a Jack O lantern. The light that shone through the lamp scarred Crappie and took his wit out.

‘Oh, my..my, how will I get out of this room?’ Shuddering with fear, he slowly opened the lid of the closet to stay inside. At the same time, someone broke the lock on the door and opened the door with a hard push. Giggles of little kids filled the corridor and the empty room.

Every one carried a Jack O lantern and they all entered the room with a scream. Crappie let down the lid of the closet and ran out of the room through the opened door. After that Crappie never returned to that room.

Ghostly...

 Do you believe in ghosts? 

 

 I also didn't believe in the existence of ghosts till those moments occurred in my life.
