15th April, 2006 -- Saturday.
It was around 8 at night. He was compensating for the lost day. The streets were deserted. Bangalore's software engineers were getting back home and the whizzing of the Tata Indicas on the main roads were visible.. But HIS street was deserted. The constant drizzle added to the eerie effect. It was just yesterday that the Bangalore riots had ended and not many were on the streets. His street never had proper street lights and it was always a nightmare getting home. Today was worse as you could never know what could happen given the heightened tension Bangalore was in...
He started his long walk.. He had only his shadow for company, thanks to the full moon. He was mumbling something to himself. He stopped. He had a feeling that he was being followed. He turned to look behind his shoulder. Nobody.
He knew his wife would be worried. He was supposed to be home by 6... He was late by two hours. The Hutch dog didnt follow him and his network was down. He couldnt contact his wife...
**hushhhh**
He heard a noise among the bushes. It was dark. He couldnt tell what it was. He increased his speed. He was almost running. He could feel it following him.. Only thing was he couldnt tell what IT was.. He didnt dare to turn back and he kept running.. He was shit-scared. Two right turns and a left turn later, he could see his house. A single bulb was illuminating the doorway. He gathered courage and turned back to see what IT was that was following him.. NOTHING. His heart skipped a beat as he was sure that something did follow him. He wanted to get home.. and soon. He ran.
He opened the gate to his house and rang the door-bell. No answer. He rang the bell again. No answer. He started sweating profusely. It was then that he noticed that the door was open. He went inside to the hall. He looked around. His wife was no where in sight... The TV was playing a popular tamil soap called "Chithi".. He hated soaps.. He went to the TV and switched it off.. Oops.. He just became a mega-SERIAL KILLER!!!!
