She will not believe it even if he says it on oath; but that was fact; he was deeply in love with her but wanted to stay away as much as possible from her. what is this??? Is this some kind of oxymoron??? Loving but leaving..... What could be the cause of his whimsical behavior?? Was he now bored of her?? His chattering which used to be so fascinating before, could sound like ennui these day....no no... not true. Was he never in love with her?? Difficult to fathom any thing.... all these started from last few days.... before that, he never acted weird like this before for any thing...... now he had become pugnacious...... Do not reply to his call, and he will not pick her call for next few days, without checking out the reason, why she was not picking his call.... he was also not as voluble and jovial as he used to be before.... he became more of reticent and reclusive...... has he got into any bad habit like drugs.... no no... it could never be the case.... he is such a religious teetotaler..... any case of paramour.... no no... even that is not possible.... then what the dickens is matter with him.... why is he not as he used to be before..... adorable... tolerant.... jocular.... he was very sentimental before also, but he never hurt any one...... what he might be thinking these days?? And he was thinking..... "Oh God!! why with me?.. I had found a new life..... things were so fine and I wanted to marry her.... she is the best thing ever happened to me.... may be she should forget me as her past and find a better betterhalf who could accompany her for longer in life than I could have done". He recollects, the doctor had said "not more than few weeks..."

Very Short Suspense Story: To Cut a Long Story Short

Very Short Suspense Story: To Cut a Long Story Short

(This Short Story blog article falls into Short, Funny, Hilarious, Thrilling, Offbeat, Quick to Read Stories category as per author.)


It was one of those nights, when I was burning midnight oil to achieve success in my early academic career, to get into one of the esteemed technical institute for my bachelor of engineering. It had happened before but I had ignored it; but that night it was something which was drawing my attention again and again. That spooky sound was incessant this time. Although I was not one of the cowardice but I never wanted to prove myself as daredevil as well; I decided to wake my father up who was there in his bedroom. It was Dawn...but the ghost visit only in the night... could it be a doppelganger, as read in some of the stories; what am I talking about; there is nothing like ghost or doppelganger; it's all in story only; but these is something; would it be a thief who would be keeping eye since last few nights to break into. I remember waking up one morning and finding my house's main door latched from outside, certainly it was not a prank played by any of our neighbours. There might be gang on hoodlums; newspapers are also talking about increase crime rates in city. These hoodlums close the laches of all the neighbors houses, so that they may not come out of their houses to help, and then these thugs will target one specific house
for dacoity. Anyway, I decided to read out loudly, the line of my book opened in front of me. May be, the sound might let the intruder/intruders know that someone is awake at home. The moment I started reading loudly the sound which was coming before stopped for a while but it again started. I thought it would be good to keep the eyes close and pretent to sleep; never knowing that I would really go into sleep and will wake up only in the morning with sun up and shining. Everyone was astir at home by that time; I was looking avidly on everyone's face to check if anything wrong noticed after last night.... but no... nothing at all. But still thought of sharing this with my father; father also agreed that there might be some miscreants who could have come for stealing petty things lying outside of the house, but they might have not found any thing so significant to pick from our yard, surrounding the house. He also asked me to wake him up next time anything similar happens. Next couple of nights went by without any sound. what was this sound like???? Well, we had a backyard full of trees and in autumn these trees will defoliate; all the dried leaves will be lying on the ground to form a thick carpet; and if any body moves on that it makes a sound; it was exactly that; somebody moving surreptitiously from one window to another window of the house. Again that sound came and luckily it was afternoon this time and I could dare to stir from my place; advance towards the window; unlatching it slowly to avoid making any sound; and in one blow opened it to see who is on the other side. But what is this??... no one there.... then from where this sound is coming?? Oh my god!... can you believe it is a little squirrel that was
moving in search of the food and creating this sound....
