The fire torches were placed along with the trees whilst maintaining a distance so to not lead to a wildfire spreading throughout the forest.
They flanged on both sides of the car and Benjamin adhered to the path carved out for them through the lit torches. Just as they crossed the foremost duo of fire torches flanking them on both the sides, a loud howl penetrated through the jungle only to reach the ears of Martha along with her parents – Benjamin and Cindy – and to further spread throughout a range of 5-6 miles from the origin of the howling sound.
As soon as the sound – rather the terror it carried – reached Martha, a Goosebumps appeared all over her body since whatever she had casually imagined earlier about lions, wolves and other wild animals only being able to live here, indeed came true.
She, under fear, cried out, “Mom!” Her mother didn’t even acknowledge h

She turned behind and saw the fire blowing out from every fire torch that they have passed through. She turned back and took to her parents to ask if they too felt the same she did.However, she avoided it since she wasn’t in a mood to entertain silence or unsatisfactory response to her questions right now. She noticed it again! “The fire went off as soon as they passed through that respective fire torch” Though she didn’t resolve on looking back to see how it was being blown out, she could sense a breathing sound loud enough to peer through the window glasses and reach her eyes.It was a groaning sound depicting heavy breathing. The sound, although not much audible to Martha, was so strong that Martha felt whatever was originating that sound is sitting right behind her, thereby serving as one of the reasons why she avoided to turn back to investigate the matter properly.

As soon as her lips touched the tip of the bottle, she was thrown a bit forward and so did the bottle.Benjamin pushed the brakes with great force, as if to avoid colliding into something in front of the motor car.The water bottle slipped out of Martha’s hand and some water even fell on her dress.She remained in the state her father had put her in by applying brakes in a forceful manner.She was pulled with much force to the front of her and her eyes remained closed while her head was low.She had apprehended something big must have come in front of the car that made her father to apply brakes without even slowing down, though the car was moving at a slow pace only.She opened her eyes and lifted her head up to investigate the object in front.

This thing is going way beyond anyone’s imagination. How worse can it get? And the biggest of all the questions is what sort of hell have we already brought ourselves in?”“Do you really want to keep on going into this hell or we might stop and reconsider going back?” said Martha.It was less of a saying and more of a screaming. She had no other option to adhere to.She had been asking or responding to her parents’ in a mannered way and all that the well-mannered way has yielded for so long is a series of unfolding mysteries.She wasn’t up for one more unwelcoming mystery to be thrown at her fate. She just wanted peace.All she cared for was peace for her. Her temperament had reached such a level of precariousness that to quench her thirst of a peaceful environment, she saw no other way except to take a U turn and drive back and reach all the way from

Seeing this, Cindy bent the bottle slightly horizontally so to not stop the flow of water and let her daughter have as much water as she wants.A tear or two escaped from Cindy’s eyes as she observed how innocently her daughter becoming so helpless few seconds ago upon realizing that the water was spilled on the floor and now, when she got a chance to have some water, she is trying to make the best out of this chance and quenching her thirst.Martha finally withdrew herself from the bottle and took a deep breath since when she was drinking water from the bottle, she didn’t care for anything less and had barely breathed.She took a sigh and hence felt better.Cindy too quickly turned around after ensuring her daughter wasn’t parched anymore and put the bottle cap back on the top of the bottle. Martha, after coming back to the state of normal breathing,

He caressed her hand lightly and reassuringly smiled at her. This led Cindy to melt down a bit. She too curved her lips upwards and responded to Benjamin’s reassurance for her.However, her weak smile was nothing but a camouflage to the disturbing thoughts going on in her mind which nevertheless expressed themselves by a tear or two.Yet both of them understood that they had to improve the atmosphere inside the car and begin to speak to Martha as well as each other casually before the destination arrives.Cindy cleared her throat and spoke, “Martha, honey, do you remember when I used to come to your room to wake you up for school and ask you to get up? And then sometimes I would almost scream when we are running out of time for it?” a hint of sorrow is evident in her voice.“I do mommy” said Martha, her voice appearing stronger than before. Martha continued,&

Her surreptitious look at Martha was well noticed by Benjamin and promptly understood that what her wife was saying was valid and well-thought upon.“We must make a decision that would be beneficial in the long run and do not just drift along with our emotions. Cindy is right” Benjamin thought.Martha, on the other hand, didn’t even seem to pay attention to her parents’ conversation. She was busy, busy with her inner self.She was preparing for what was about to come.She had already had an intuition that something bad is going to confront her soon, whether she likes it or not, whether she want to have it or not.There’s no escape now. Her preoccupation with her own self broke when the last fire torch was blown out.The narrow path in between the forest has now come to a halt and it had brought them to an open space.

I am comfortable mommy, so long as I am with the two of you. I am comfortable with living off at a secluded place, for home is where I can have the presence of both of you” Martha smiled after saying what she felt would comfort her mother and give her strength in undertaking the task at hand.On the contrary, hearing such mature words from her mother, Cindy got on the brink of collapsing into tears but somehow controlled herself.She although had gotten teary-eyed but when Benjamin put his hand on Cindy’s shoulder; she was signaled to not get drifted along with her emotions and remain strong. Cindy promptly turned to the front to avoid looking at Martha.Further, she didn’t want her to observe the tears in her eyes waiting to roll down her cheeks.Despite that, Martha had already found her mother teary-eyed which led her mood go off the track as well.“To what

“I doubt if it exists in a triangular shape and one would later on find out that the house keeps on decreasing in size as he/she moves from the side of the house all the way to the far end” Martha wanted to lighten even her mood as well.She kept observing the house as the particulars of the house though there wasn’t much light available in that area.The design of the house was very old, “Something you’d only witness in vintage movies” said Martha “with a horror genre” she further added. The house hasn’t been refurbished for the last Eighty years it seems.“Let’s round it off to 100 years” she said since she was all alone by herself in the car and she could voice her random thoughts now.The cracks in the walls of the house were evidence of Martha’s opinions about it.Though pitch dark, one could easil
