Boo!

I could'nt come up with a new topic. I wrote this almost an year ago. It's funny.

21 January,2007
She hurried down the alleyway, beads of sweat decorating
her forehead. Now Claire started making big strides. The
dull light was visible at the other end of the alley.

'You're being silly, no one is following you!', she thought.
She stopped walking and turned around.There was no one.

'See, no one. Stop acting like a wimp',she told herself.

She reached the lane. There was no traffic, it was dead silent.
The old grey buildings shadowed the street.
She sucked in some air and walked ahead. She kept telling
herself that it was her idea to come to this part of the
city and spend some time alone. But it bugged her that the
abandoned area was drawing creeps on her instead of helping her.
She wished that she'd brought Kate along.

A dog howled somewhere far away.It gave her goosebumps.

'I must turn around and go back',she thought.But her feet wouldn't move an inch.

At that moment,headlights flashed in her direction blinding her momentarily.
She squinted her eyes and saw a car heading in her direction.
She sighed with relief and waved to the car. The car stopped a few paces away from Claire. She ran towards it and bent to see the driver.
He was young, probably in his mid twenties.

"You look troubled, miss..", he said

"I got lost, was heading to Lewart.Can you give me a ride please?",Claire replied

"Sure", he replied appraising her.

"Thank you"

He opened the door to the passenger side and Claire got in.

She closed the door behind her and looked at him.

"My name is Gustav", he smiled tentatively and started the engine.

"I'm Claire", she smiled back.

A FEW SECONDS LATER, A SHRIEK FILLED THE AIR.

A girl named Claire Meraal died 23 years ago.Her friend, Kate had once told her about Hectar,a locality a few miles away from the main city.It used to be inhabited by local labourers and their families.A fire broke in one of the disbanded gas-stations in the area and the locality was evacuated.
Now,teenagers would usually come to Hectar to scare their friends.

Claire was upset about something and wanted to spend some time away from everyone.
She decided to visit Hectar alone that day.


She never returned.
No one knows about her mysterious dissapearance even after 23 years.

Her lost spirit still haunts the streets of Hectar...
