Kill: That Was Justified

It was just past midnight, and with a power outage, I decided to sleep on a cot on my grandparents' terrace. The moonlit night was beautiful, and I enjoyed the swaying coconut trees and the gentle breeze. Suddenly, I heard the jingling of bangles and wondered who could be strolling at such a late hour. The highway, bustling with trucks all night, was right next to our entrance pavement. The other side of the road was dimly lit due to intermittent streetlights.

From the edge of my terrace, I could barely make out a woman walking by, likely the one wearing the bangles. The next day, I asked my grandmother and the caretaker about the woman, but they couldn't provide any information. They said they hardly knew any newly married women in the neighborhood and were surprised that anyone would walk on the busy highway at that time of night.

The following night, I considered shouting to the woman, but she seemed to be in a hurry, and her bangles jingled quickly. Around 4:00 AM, I was awakened by a screeching sound from a truck's brakes on the highway. I heard people gathering in their patios. I quickly went downstairs, woke up my grandfather, and accompanied him to the entrance gate.

A large crowd had gathered on the highway, and as we approached, we saw a dead body covered in blood with a crushed head. I turned away, unable to bear the sight. My eyes fell on some red bangles scattered nearby. At first, I thought it was the woman who had been killed and felt guilty for not saying anything. However, I later learned that a newlywed woman had been killed by her husband and in-laws by being pushed out of a moving vehicle. Her husband's dead body was lying at the same spot. The reason for his presence there at that hour remained unexplained. After that night, I never saw the woman again. Thankfully, the power was restored, and I preferred to sleep indoors for the rest of my summer holidays.

भूता गप्पा : कमरे के बाहर जो था…(पटना स्टोरीज )

मैं उन दिनों हॉस्टल में दोस्तों के साथ खूब मस्ती किया करता था। कॉलेज के दिन वैसे भी बड़े मज़ेदार होते हैं। दोस्तों का झुंड हमेशा साथ रहता, न समय की परवाह होती, न किसी रोक-टोक की चिंता। बेफिक्री और हँसी के धुएँ से पूरा कैंपस गूंजता रहता। एक रात, हम सब राजू के कमरे में जमा थे। ओल्ड मंक की आखिरी बूंद तक सब कुछ खत्म हो गया। तभी किसी ने कहा, "अरे, मेरे बेड के नीचे एक बोतल है… लेकिन उसके लिए स्टोर रूम से होकर जाना पड़ेगा, जहाँ खिड़कियों से अजीब आवाजें आती हैं।" किसी जूनियर को भेजने की बात चली। मैं पहले थोड़ा हिचकिचाया, फिर हँसते हुए मान गया। "क्या होगा ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा? कोई आवाज़ तो यही लोग निकालेंगे।" जैसे ही मैं निकला, हमारे ग्रुप का एक सीनियर चुपचाप मेरे पीछे हो लिया और दरवाज़े के पीछे छिप गया। जब मैं स्टोर रूम पहुँचा, तो मुस्कुराते हुए पीछे मुड़ा क्योंकि मुझे लगा कोई आवाज़ जरूर लगाएगा। उन दिनों किसी के पास मोबाइल नहीं था। हॉस्टल में जगह-जगह एक-दो लैंडलाइन फोन लगे थे। लेकिन मुझे स्टोर रूम के अंदर से घंटी की आवाज़ सुनाई दी। अजीब बात यह थी कि वहां कभी फोन र...

The Morgue Shift: A Chilling Night at IGH Hospital, Rourkela

There are jobs that demand courage—not just of the body, but of the mind. Being a nurse is one such job, and sometimes, the fear doesn’t come from the diagnosis or the pain—it comes from silence, from shadows, and from the unseen. This is a true account of a night shift I will never forget. Festival Night. Empty Corridors. One Dead Body. It was a festive evening in Rourkela, and most of the hospital staff had taken leave or left early. I was on duty at IGH Hospital as a male nurse. Late at night, I received the responsibility of transporting a deceased patient to the morgue—alone. Usually, someone from the morgue team assists with the process. But that night, there was no one available. I was told a security guard would be present near the morgue to help, if needed. With no other option, I took a stretcher and began the slow, solitary walk through the long, dimly lit hospital corridor. The Eyes in the Dark The hallway was quieter than usual, with only the occasional bark of a dog or a ...
