The newspaper headlines

After the mysterious death of a seventeen year old maid in the posh residence of Munniraka,Delhi, the police today found  the dead body of the fifteen year old daughter of the same family. Mr and Mrs Sethi are in a state of shock and unable to give any comments.  There was an unexplained  mark on the forehead of Sakshi Sethi, the deceased, that uncannily resembled the crack on the wall that came up after the maid Shraddha was found hanging on Tuesday evening at Mr and Mrs Sethi’s residence.

I had tried writing a horror piece earlier, but it was actually a dream. So I had the story in mind and all I had to do was give it a structure. That was easy. This is the first time I have tried to actually write horror. Also, this is kind of an inspired piece. The format is from a random internet site that I came across. I will link it if I ever find it again only because it was a BRILLIANT story ( and it was pretty sophisticated with "the person is typing ..." coming every time and one had to click to read the "reply". ) The content however is just my shitty imagination,  If you got even a tiny bit scared, my job here is done! 

See you tomorrow!
