And saw an apple fall
What did he discover, dear children?
I want an answer from all
An excited chatter followed
The whole class in a mess
Everyone was in a bid to answer
To have a golden star on his dress!
A child stood up from the back
And after a silence for free
He said, “
That he wasn’t sitting directly under a coconut tree!"

Madeline was surprised! She had never seen such an eccentric before. Was he crazy? Or did she do something? Curiosity led her to follow the boy. She saw him reach an abandoned garden. He cautiously looked around himself and then quietly sat down on the bench, lost in thought. Madeline stealthily crept in front of him. Before he could utter a word, Madeline said hi and introduced herself.
Joel was surprised to see the girl smiling at him! He remembered how hard he was trying since morning to forget that dream; but now that girl was talking to him and trying to be his friend. However, he consented! Both friends sat down on the bench and started talking. Soon they discovered that they both were neighbors. With a promise to meet Madeline again the next day, Joel went back to his home!
In bed, Joel could not sleep. No way! Those horrifying images crept into his mind as soon as he closed his eyes and then the next minute..Madeline’s smiling face flashed before him. The whole night, Joel was in a fix.
Finally as the dawn arrived, Joel decided to visit Madeline and tell let her into this terrifying secret. He had a hasty breakfast and then broke into a run towards Madeline’s house. He was nervous when his shaking hands pressed the bell…tringgggggg
Madeline opened the door. She was as surprised as Joel was nervous. She invited him inside. When Joel was comfortably seated in the living room, Madeline noticed that he was sweating.
“Would you like a glass of water, Joel?” she asked.
“Oh yes, please!” Joel said gratefully.
As Madeline left the room to fetch water, Joel looked around. It was a cozy little room. The interior was tastefully and artistically decorated. Suddenly his eyes fell upon a well framed photograph. It was the photo of a young girl. Joel went nearer for clearer view.
He was confused and amazed at what he saw. The photo was exactly similar to Madeline though she looked younger. But the fascinating fact was that there were white flowers in front of the photo and a candle was burning. This meant that the girl in the photo was…dead…but?
Madeline entered the room with a glass of water but her smile changed into a frown when she saw Joel standing next to Valentine’s photo. Before she could speak, Joel asked,
“Who...who is she?”
Madeline had never wanted to tell this to anyone but she had no other option now!
“She is my twin sister, Valentine. Joel, we lived at your house before you came in there. My sister, my father and I lived a happy and contented life. But suddenly one day.......hell broke loose. Our dad married an old lady who now became our step-mother. She was a cruel woman who always acted benevolent in front of my father; but behind her back she would bully and threaten us.”
“She would make us work hard and toil day and night. One day, Valentine refused to follow her orders. My step-mom became irritated. She closed Valentine in the attic and left her there for the whole day. Dad returned the next day and found Valentine missing. She had been banging at the door until midnight but the next morning, when dad returned ..... all was quite. My mom led him to the attic but we were horrified at what we saw. There were spiders walking around the dead body of poor Valentine as she lay in a pool of blood. My father left the woman and since then, we’ve been living here. By the way, yesterday was her 13th birthday and her 3rd death anniversary!” Madeline replied
Joel was dumbstruck at what he heard! He hurried back home and asked his parents to take a new home. He never wanted to live in this house…
A week later when Joel was shifting away to a new home; he visited the attic for the last time. The warm rays of the sun streamed into the room enlightening him… “May Lord shower his holy blessings upon her” he murmured and left; never to return again.
The screaming echoes of poor Valentine can still be heard at
Hurray...We're done now! I'm glad I could finish this long story and hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Thanks for your patience for waiting for these parts and then reading these stories!
And yes, do you think I should write more long stories for the further posts or should I stick to the shorter ones which can fit in one single post?
A Ghost All Around Her!
Joel felt as if he was burning …he opened his eyes and looked around. He was in his own room…he felt the warm hands of his mother caressing his forehead! He sat up with little difficulty and stared at his mother’s face with questioning eyes!
“What happened, ma?” Joel murmured.
“You are all right, dear? Don’t worry!” His mother answered.
“But…but…what happened?” he asked with a confused tinge in his voice!
“It was late last night when we heard you scream. Your father checked in your room but could not find you there. We heard your voice again…but this time it came from somewhere on the second floor. Your father found the old attic door opened and there you lay. You had fainted and were looking ill. You were bathed with sweat so we brought you back to your room. You have been sleeping for a couple of hours since then!”, his mother explained
Suddenly the dreaded memory flooded back to his mind …the girl..the blood..the spider….ahhhh! His mother soon left him alone in the room and did not ask him any questions keeping in mind that he was unwell.
Joel tried hard to forget that horrifying incident. He told himself that it was all a bad nightmare. However, the harder he tried to forget, the more he remembered the incident. He decided that it was best for him to go outside and take some fresh air. He dressed himself and went for a walk.
Joel walked alone…lost in thought with no idea of the place, time or hour. It was an abandoned street with no other soul in sight. Suddenly, he saw a girl coming from the opposite direction. At first sight, Joel didn’t see anything special but as she came nearer……
Joel found her with a striking resemblance to someone…someone…. All of a sudden, the memories rushed back to his mind! The girl…the stranger's face was exactly like the girl’s face he had seen last night. Except that she was better looking with no blood drops or sharp teeth. But her brown eyes..yes..she was that girl!
As she came nearer..he shrieked in terror and ran away……..
(TO BE CONTINUED..................)
I'm glad you had so much patience but there is more to go! I will be posting the last part within hours but until then...keep biting your nails before the secret is unveiled..................

Grrr….a loud discordant sound was made when Joel kicked opened the door. This sounded even more loud and daunting in the serene night atmosphere! But what was even more frightening was that this was the entrance to an unknown room…….. Joel Agnes was a bold and upright 13 year old who had recently shifted into an ancient yet majestic looking old house. The house was an old building with almost tumbling walls on the outside. But inside, it was surprisingly large, strong and cozy! But Joel had an eerie feeling as soon as he entered his new abode!
“This is the right time for me to explore this house!” he decided.
Joel left his room with excitement to explore this mansion. As he slid through the stairs…he noticed a small door on the 2nd floor. The door was hidden behind the enormous clutter of his things which had not yet been shifted to the right places. The door was a small, dark black one. There was dust on it which meant that it had been untouched for a long time. The door’s hinges were rusty and probably in their last years. A loud grating sound Grr…. was created when Joel pushed the door to the unknown room.
Apprehensive about waking up the others in the house, Joel slid in as stealthily as a black shadow, through the gap he had created. Once inside, Joel found himself in complete chilling darkness. Finally his keen eyes located a small window in the room. With little strength he was able to push it open. The room was flooded with shimmering moonlight which made the objects in the room visible. Joel understood that this was an old attic. All objects were layered with a thick layer of dust. Just like the door, this room looked old and abandoned since a couple of years!

Recently I was flipping through a magazine when my eyes fell upon some really funny jokes. I am certain you can hear me laughing at your place too and I am sure you too would go crazy laughing away at these jokes. Enjoy..........
God saw me hungry, he created pizza
He saw me thirsty, he created diet cola
He saw me in dark, he created light
He saw me without problems, he created you!
