Death Stories: A Woman In Red

On a frigid winter night, a woman sat alone on the desolate platform, the skeletal frame of the station stark against the inky sky. She lit a cigarette, the flare briefly illuminating the hollows of her face. The biting wind whipped around her, yet beneath her grandmother's shawl, a deceptive sense of calm settled. Then, through the grimy glass of the platform doors, a figure emerged. A familiar silhouette. A ghost from her past. A man she had once loved with a desperate, all-consuming passion. Now, his presence ignited a chilling dread, the unwelcome echo of a love she thought long buried.

Her pulse quickened, a frantic drumbeat against her ribs. For a fleeting, panicked moment, she fumbled in her bag for a comb and mirror, a futile attempt to compose herself before the inevitable confrontation. But the man walked past, his gaze never landing on her. He stopped before another woman – a stranger, utterly unlike her – and kissed her. The kiss was deep, possessive, a brutal display of intimacy that twisted like a knife in the woman’s gut. A hollow ache bloomed in her chest, a bitter understanding of what she had lost, or perhaps, never truly possessed. Tears welled, blurring her vision, her pale complexion taking on a spectral, almost sinister cast in the dim light.

She watched them, transfixed with a morbid fascination, as they moved further down the platform. She was oblivious to everything else, the world narrowing to this agonizing tableau. The man lifted the other woman's bags, his steps light, almost buoyant. Unseen, a single, catastrophic misstep sent the woman tumbling onto the tracks just as the train roared into the station. A sickening crunch, a spray of crimson against the pristine snow, and the woman lay still. The man stared in horror at the blood staining his hands, his face a mask of disbelief.

He didn't know the woman lying broken beneath the train was his wife. The woman he had abandoned the night before, sneaking out at dawn to pursue a fleeting, meaningless affair. The shawl she had worn was now soaked in her own blood, a chilling testament to his betrayal. The train she had missed was the one that had ended her life.

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 ...
