Old Witch

It was late in the evening. It was growing cold. I was walking on the street. It was deserted. Somewhere a dog barked. Then I heard some sound behind me. I usually do not pay attention to the sounds but that weird, horrible night I did. I turned back to see and what I saw was horrible. In scary street, a dead cat caught my eye. As I am a biologist, I went near to see who killed the cat. I jumped out of my skin, when I saw that dead body of cat is 'heartless'. I thought that why killer did not eat the whole body, only ate the heart. Suddenly someone's arm tightened around my waist. The shiver of horror jolted down my spine. But I bravely turned to see that who is grabbing me with all force of earth, almost twisting me. It was very difficult to turn to see who is grabbing me.

                          Mona Lisa ! The beautiful Mona Lisa was grabbing me. My mouth gaped open. When I was looking at her shockingly, she loosened her grip and grinned lopsidedly. It was unfathomable. Again she slipped her arms around my waist and pulled me to herself, her head tilted as she pressed her lips around mine. I had cold feet. I was scared and slightly happy because she kissed me. I was rubbing my eyes again and again but I was not dreaming, it was real. I was unable to move. Reality which scared me is that when it grew darker and moonlight fell on her body, she became a weird, scary creature. Forked tongue lolled out from  her mouth and interlaced pattern covered her whole body like Zebra. I was paralyzed. That horrible, nasty thing was not allowing me to go anywhere. I tried to scream but terror took the sound before I make it. "I would not harm you" that thing said. The voice of that creature was soft like snow. I was astonished. I was unable to word my question that what are you. That nasty thing did not let me go before sunlight. It was grabbing me all night. When sun rose, it gave me a piece of paper and disappeared. I still do not know what it was. I don not know how that thing disappeared.

                                      I think she was a witch having ability of 'Astral projection'. But witches do not have forked tongue or may be they have. It could be an alien because this type of creature can not belong to earth. It is still a mystery. But the thing I would never know is the script written on that old piece of paper. I had searched about it everywhere. I only found out that it is an ancient encoded language called cipher language and no one could break this code. I do not know  why that creature gave it to me, why that creature did not kill me, what was it and where it belonged? but whenever  I remember that incident, I can not stand on my feet.
