She logged into her Facebook account, cleared her current status and wrote something new. Then, she took a sip of her coffee and checked her notifications. Comments on status….on photos….on notes….on links….on posts….. she didn’t go to any of them. She opened the chat window and typed a “hi” and pressed the enter key!
The reply came after a few seconds. As soon as she read it her laptop screen turned scarlet. Her face was on the table, her eyes wide opened and the coffee spilled all over the floor.
Her breath was still searching for solace!
She could smell blood. She dragged her arms to the table and struggled to get up….to lift her head and look behind her. She failed herself. But still, she managed to move her big brown eyes towards the screen and read the messages in the chat window. He was still typing. There were question marks, too many dots, exclamation marks…..and words of worry!
Amidst the gory pool, her eyes cried. Her lips trembled. She felt someone’s presence.Someone was coming close…..and closer….and closer….until finally he stood right behind her.
The huge shadow made her heart beat slower. She was sweating. Her senses were leaving her body. And then….that someone put a full stop!
He held the knife and took it out from her neck with a jerk. Her arms left the table and hung down. Her eyes widened. Just one tear trickled down her right eye. The blood kept soaking her body. The buzz sound was still coming from her computer. She was pushed aside; she fell on the ground…..numb….turning blue…. He bent down to type...
“Go offline. She’s done!” At once came the reply…. “Well done.”
Her last whisper had an incomplete wish. “Take….ca (re)….”
He shoved her with his leg and walked over her. Before leaving the room, he looked back just once. But when he did, his conscience was filled with guilt and a weight too heavy to carry. His eyes were glued at her big brown eyes, the blood which coloured the boring marble floor, her dry lips, and the slit throat. Immediately after he noticed all this, he left. He didn’t want to die of such a huge guilt.
She opened the chat window and typed a “hi” and pressed the enter key! The reply came after a few seconds.
“Just beware; someone might come to kill you right now!”
As soon as she read it her white laptop screen turned scarlet................................
