I live alone in my apartment, so this New Year’s Eve, I decided to go over to my mom and dad’s to welcome the new year. The year 2021 has been hectic for me. I have been very busy with work, I barely visit the old couple. I decided to grace them with my presence on this special evening.
I left home around 4 pm because the journey to their house is about a 30 minutes drive. But tonight, I felt like trekking. I packed my bag, put on my sneakers and set off. I was listening to music through my AirPods when I saw an old mad man approaching me. The thought that occurred to me was, this man needs a bath. I minded my business and kept walking. The street was busy, so I thought maybe, the reason was because the next day was the beginning of a new year. After walking for some time, I felt a hunch to look back. When I did, I noticed that the mad man I saw before was following me, I got scared and increased my pace, but he was still following me. At that moment I regretted to have decided to walk home.
After some time, I gathered courage and confronted him. He told me he was just following me because he wanted to tell me something. I got relaxed a little and asked him to speak away. The old man mentioned my name and I was alarmed. He told me he was sorry had to deliver his message this way. The old man looked at me pleadingly and said these words, I was asked to tell you that you will die this new year. Instantly, I prayed silently in my head and boarded a car to my parent’s house.
He told me those words some hours ago and I still haven’t recovered from the shock I had when I received the mad man’s message. Am terrified. Any words of hope will truly be appreciated.
