A LETTER FOOM A STRANGER
A
LETTER FROM A STRANGER
“I found a
letter under my pillow, written in my own handwriting—but I had never written
it. The date on it was 10 years ahead.
When
I found the letter, I was shocked. My palms got sweaty, my heart started
beating faster, and my eyes couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I felt afraid.
I looked around, then outside my window. I asked my father and my brother about
it, but no one responded anything.
Suddenly,
I remembered something… the words of a mysterious man who had given me this
letter 10 years ago.
That
day, I was waiting at the bus stop. It was raining heavily, and thunder was
roaring. Suddenly, I saw a man dressed in black cloths, wearing a cap on his
head. He was standing near a street pole in the heavy rain, without an umbrella
or raincoat.
But
he didn’t. He slowly began to walk towards me. I got scared and screamed. He
came closer, handed me a letter, and said something I never wanted to hear.
He
told me about a murder case in which I was involved—but I had never been
arrested because the police had no evidence.
My
heart started racing. How did he know about it? I closed my eyes for a
moment… and when I opened them, he had disappeared. I couldn’t even see his
face. Just then, my bus arrived. I quickly got on, still shaken. The bus was
empty… except for one man sitting quietly, listening to music through his
earphone. I quickly went to my seat and sat down. I took a deep breath and
tried to calm myself. With my trembling hands “as I slowly opened the letter, I
realized the handwriting was exactly like mine.’’ I read last line everything
started coming back… There was no
murder. It was a suicide. She didn’t die because of someone else… she died
because of me. No….
Because
I was her. And the letter I was holding…
I had written it myself***
