“So, you think you know it all?” He asked as he led us
down the dark lane.
“Yes I do” I barked, getting irritated at this entire
expedition to see a mysterious “bhoot” palace. I was more irritated at my
friends who were scared and excited at this entire thing.
His instructions to be silent and walk in a single
file were annoying me more.
“Are we going to play cricket?” I shouted. But he gave
me a “Shhhh” look and pointed.
There stood a poorly lit huge red brick palace at the cricket grounds that we often played at.
*************************
So, you think you know it all? She asked.
I, completely sure of my belief in non-existence of
spirits, replied, “No I don’t, but certainly that there are no spirits.”
She invited me to sit and placed a pre-prepared chart
and a coin in the center.
She asked me to keep my finger on the coin with as
much force I can and stepped back. She then asked me to ask a question, answer
to which could be a yes or no.
Feeling rebellious, as soon as I did, the coin moved
against all my force and stopped at “yes”.

Thanks Roshan. I will check it.
DeleteI missed getting an answer when in school.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I couldn't control my giggles seeing all my friends sitting glued to the board and burst into a laughter riot along with a friend of mine. :-D :-D :-D
It was fun watching everyone else give us a stare like, 'You'll pay for this. The spirits will take revenge." Ha Ha Ha... :-D :-P
ha ha ha :D
DeleteWe have all experienced the moving of a coin. Do you believe in such things? a good take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI do and I don't....thanks Usha.

DeleteI can never forget the thrill/ chill of my first ouija board experience. Not something I'll indulge in again - something about rattling those spirits doesn't sit too well with me! Very gripping, Sugandha!
