“Stop Gary, I see them,” Ricky said urgently.
Gary stopped the bike near the sign-board that read – "never stop on this road".
A group of cloak-clad people, with hands raised, was gathered around a bon-fire. They were chanting together in the night.
Curious, the duo went nearer to observe the strange ritual. To their amazement, the rumour they heard came true. Those were the witches and war-locks, deep in trance ~ inviting the spirits for sacrifice.
Ricky started clicking pictures. Just then two hands grabbed both their collars and dragged them to the bon-fire.
“Accept our offerings,” the group chanted aloud.

The dark twist seems natural given the picture, no?

Nandini, It looks like they'll pay for their big, tragic mistake. Well written. : ) ---Susan
ReplyDeleteWell written and dark. Good one Nandini.
ReplyDeleteDear Nandini,
ReplyDeleteVery good story and the stupid guys can't read - men never pay attention to signs they think that 'they' are exempt from any warnings, or speed limits. Well, they won't make that mistake again. Great story!
Nan :)
