INTRUDER PART1

INTRUDER

The Heaven was scowling,wind was howling and thunderclouds were raging.It was only twilight,but darkness outside made it appear as if it was well beyond midnight.I was sitting alone in the living room of my house,reading my favourite novel as my mum and dad had gone to visit a family friend.Even though it was me who had insisted that I should be left alone as I wanted to savour a few blissful hours of peace which -I so rarely get thanks to my little brother-I was regretting my decision with every passing minute.Each time when the thunderbolt wreaked havoc on my eardrums,a chill ran down my spine.Cold sweat dewed the nape of my neck,even though the weather was considerably cold.The sound of the raindrops on the roof was making me increasingly restless.But the worst was still to come.

                                                                Suddenly,lights went out and I let out a cry of shock and fear.My book fell on the floor with a dull thud.I so very badly wanted to kick myself for asking my parents to not to take me with them,but I was  rooted on the spot,unable to move a single muscle,even to blink.Finally,after what definitely seemed like an eternity ,I managed to move.I got up and made my way through velvety  darkness towards the drawers where mu mum kept torch.Twice I tripped over my own feet.Darkness was seeming to press on me and I felt claustrophobia creeping on me.I was halfway down the hall when I heard a deafening CRASH , making me shriek in terror and send my heart into frenzied palpitations.
