Scare Me If You Can!

Scare Me If You Can!
Flash Fiction

After the late night show, Raghu was pedaling his bicycle on a lonely path, when he saw a mysterious lady dressed in white sari standing at some distance before him.

He decided to peddle fast and pass her. However, when he neared her, his cycle chain became loose and he fell down. And his cycle fell upon him.

The lady, whose face had been covered in veil till her nose, grinned wickedly at him. His heart started pumping fast as she approached him and thrust her hand towards him.

He gave her his hand too, but it turned out to a skeleton hand, which she threw away, screamed aloud in fear and ran for her life.

Raghu broke into peals of laughter for having scared her out of her wits. He kept laughing until someone joined him from his back.

This time, he really got scared, turned back, saw really scary tall man standing behind him.

‘Good Trick…’ He said in hoarse voice, ‘Now, let me see if you can scare me too.’
