Tryst with Haunted House

At a time when politics, religion and humanity have been crumbling under the trembling forces of elected national leaders, a few individually humor-loving soldiers of House Mahanta and House Dutta came together to have an amazing afternoon of pleasantries!  As the elders of their respective houses were occupied with work involving their creative traits, the young guns had plans of their own for a leisurely pre-spring time. Yes, that's when the famous post meridian siesta took place involving the feelings of Paranormal Activities!

Agent T and Agent M had pre-planned to go out instead of oozing off their time before the big lunch. Agent B had different thoughts. B seldom goes out beyond the territorial boundary of his humble abode, which is, his room. M wanted to wander out in a cool spot where they could hang out whereas T left the power of choice to both M and B. B, on the other hand wanted to reduce exterior human interaction to a bare minimum, hence had no intention to roam about in the open world. But he couldn't disappoint and spoil both of his sisters' plans and mood. Hence after a mighty battle among the wires of his brain, he finally decided to greet the social world. Yay!

The mall was a pretty decent place. Much to the delight of Agent B, the place was almost empty. T and M wore a vanquished face because of the absence of a decent crowd. B, T and M walked and walked until they reached their destination: The Haunted House! Agent B had no motive of entering a dark alley filled with strenuous humans trying to scare the shit out of any guest entering the spooky place. Inside, it is decently scary, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars on a personal level. The 1 star deducted is for the absence of extremely innovative ideas to scare homo sapiens. Agent B isn't particularly resolute when it comes to spooky and horror related stuff but in front of Agent T and M, he held up a face of valor and gallantry! He was, in fact the big brother here. He pondered and dithered at first. He couldn't afford any sign of lapse and blemish. After much hesitation, he had to give in to sibling pressure! Damn! What followed was a 10 minute long journey through the dark paths of pitch black vision and thundering sounds imitating ghosts, apparently.

The first couple of steps was a waking call of the biggest mistake of your life. That's where you justify yourself that ghosts are a work of fiction but then certain scenes from Paranormal Activity and Annabelle plays in your mind and your common sense goes right back to hibernation. That's exactly when you encounter the first turn of the darkened path and somebody touches you by your legs with hairy hands. You know that's a human but in such darkness even the sound of a rat would send you jumping across the Caribbean Islands. The continuous elevation sounds of beating thuds or whatever, sends your ear drums to a holiday somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan. With your senses of sight and hearing playing 'dandiya' with your mind, the sense of smell is reduced to impunity. Agent T and M held on to B with the utmost grip possible ever known to human history. The three of them shoved and pushed their way forward, with only T wary of enemies from behind! At one point Agent T laid low, almost about to fall. She had grasped tightly onto B and M, and made them her shield. The unceasing shout and shriek of T and M, which had by now, crossed the calculable sound barrier, made B tremble at times. B shouted some commands but to no avail.

As they encountered an elevated hurdle on their path, which they needed to climb, there was simply no turning back now! They had come too far. By now, the last drop of sweat had reached the pores of Agent B. T and M were brave enough to roar their way to the exit with B acting as a catalyst to their ghostly reaction! As they opened the exit door, new customers were already ready to experience the joyous ride. Horror conquered! Haunted House shocked, the Agents rocked! Later on, Agent T needed a mango juice to shake off the nightmare. Until next time, have a tight sleep.
