A stange nightmare

A Strange Nightmare

Once lived a boy named niks. He usually had strange dreams. One day after coming from his school he was tired and wanted to rest. When his mother came, she came to know that he was suffering from fever. Actually that day he came home by using a shortcut (a road that passed through the graveyard). His mother took him to a doctor and he was advised to take rest. But slowly and gradually he was feeling uncomfortable and by evening suddenly went to sleep. He was not able to sleep. He was just repeating the words 'please leave me alive, I want to live'. Finally, he slept at exactly 11 pm. After 1 hour, at 12 o' clock he suddenly woke up and heard some strange noise from his cupboard. He was quite brave so he went and opened the cupboard. He saw a picture of some unknown person. He took that picture to his study table and continuously thought about the picture. His body was sweating in a strange way. He went to the wash basin and washed his face and then...... Suddenly he saw that unknown person in the mirror. He was slightly frightened now. He ran to his study table and he saw that the picture was missing but there was a diary on it. He opened the diary and started reading - ' one who dares to read my diary is soon to be killed'. He wanted to know about the diary so he continued-

My name is Andrew konre. I am just so sad as I have lost everything in my life. My wife and kids were killed in a road accident and even I am fired out from my job. I am all alone and there is no one with me now. My cousin who lives far away even didn't come to help me out and take me out of this bad situation. Now I just got one way to get out of it.......

And that is to die.

'One who reads this diary is sure to die like me.'

----_------------ On reading this niks ran towards the bed and slept. He had a strange dream in which all those events took place which were written in the diary. He saw Andrew killing him with a sharped knife. He was so scared and he was running here and there. He went to a woman standing near him and he found that she was Andrews wife who wanted niks to be killed. Finally niks found the diary in his dream which was lying on the table. He took that and ran as far as he could. He opened the last page of the diary where there was a solution to get rid of it. He took it and went to that graveyard where he found andrew's coffin. He kept the diary on it and suddenly he saw blood coming out of the dead body. He was so much scared and then his heart started beating with a rough manner. Finally he woke up and it was 5am now. He took a long breathe and promised himself to never go thought that graveyard.
