Girl’s PG prank (Horror)

The Gurgaon-Mehrauli horror incident left Joy in a different state of mind for good. He just couldn’t believe in whatever happened. At 1 point in time, he even referred himself to a shrink. Most of us thought that he was going through the recovery stage. Only he knew what was happening to him. Life was not the same for him anymore. He became obsessed with knowing more about life….the stories that were told as well as the ones that were never told.

I met him last winters in Noida. It was a fine evening with some more old friends around, over for drinks and smoke, some were non-drinkers. It was then where we realized that Joy has spent sometime in the wilderness. He told us tales of rural-legends and unheard stories of boundless mystery. There was 1 particular that nearly froze my spine.

It was a story from Pune. A girls hostel  of a renowned institute. New season got many bright new faces during admissions. Some could get into the college hostels while others had to make accommodations in flats…a world known as mess. Guys give the actual meaning to the word. I have been in many. Coming back to the story, I will introduce Mae to you. A beautiful, enthusiastic new face from the north-east, Manipur.  She has almost broken all records in her academic resume. The guys of the college, both old and new were inspired to be at their best. The girls envied with jealousy. She was the talk of the complex almost all the time.

Though Mae was dynamic with her intelligence as well as personality, she was missing the company of more people from the north-east. I guess this is a common thing at the beginning, eventually the new places becomes a home. And she was not used to the way of living, as in from how she used to stay at home and how she has to stay now. This is actually the moment of truth for a person. Either he/she can break down or be propelled to exceed. Mae was a strong willed girl, she hasn’t given up ever in life. She did have to win many battles staying in the girls hostel which has girls who were dumped by their boyfriends to woo Mae. She had nearly made friends to half the people in a month. The other half were conspiring in the dark. Attempts were repeated but none could stop the power of will of the little girl.

The girls dormitory were of 8 beds, 1 bunked over the other in sets of 2. Mae had a habit of going for a shower after all the girls almost started snoring. The she would climb to her bed, switch on the reading light, drag her favorite book from under the pillow, read for about 30-45 minutes and then go off to sleep. Riya  the master mind was so focused on bringing Mae down that it felt like she was born only for this. She was on the verge of giving up when she wanted to play an evil prank on Mae. She asked her gang to get her a human hand from the specimen jar of the institute laboratory. When it was provided, she kept the hand under Mae’s pillow. She anticipitated that Mae would scream like a crazy women and the rest would wake from their fake sleep and laugh at the girl. The plan was executed the very might.

When all the lights were down at 10:45, Mae took a shower and as usual climbed onto her bed and rubbed her hair with her towel. She was humming a song, she did sound like an nightingale.  All the other girls were pretending to sleep with blankets over them. They heard Mae throw her towel on her chair and a click her reading lights on. She was still humming her song. The shriek was anticipated just round the corner. But nothing. No-one wanted to turn around and break the suspense until the event was triggered by Mae. But there was loud silence from her end. The humming had stopped and the excitement was building up. After about half an hour, Riya  turned back to look at Mae and screamed at the top of her lungs. The other girls quickly turned their lights on and turned their focus towards  Mae and saw her eating the hand that was kept in place of the book. Everyone was stunned, the land had slipped from below their feet. No-one moved for minutes to come.

Mae was admitted in a mental institute and it was declared that she would require to undergo treatment for unspecified time. She was expecting to read her favourite book and what she found out under the pillow was an absolute horror. Something snapped in her brain and she could not control her mental balance from there on. Riya and her gang were punished but the intolerable harm has already been caused.

Another story which got buried by the authorities, by time.
