Chapter 3 - chapter -2

He started thinking

what was going on ?but he had his doubts as it's not common for such strange things to happen. things that seem straight out of the movie he had watched before! , it seemed too concidental but then again it wasn't odd for a drunk man to hallicunate about something they had seen before

after racking his brain for sometime he came to a solution that it was just his imagination because he wasn't in his right mind after drinking , after some time he decided to go home ,but through the busy streets because he still felt a little uneasy due to what happend on the street before .

on his way home he saw many things like kids in costumes running here and there people laughing, christmas songs being played in every shop he was passing by ,it all seemed unreal and he felt unfamiliar to all of this, while he was still smiling on the outside for the people he felt strange....

he felt out of place like he didn't belong here between all these people..... who were laughing and living their life! he felt as if his time had stopped.

Ever since his wife passed away , every day felt like a nightmare it felt like he was living in a hellhole but still he had a beautiful daughter waiting for him at home , while he felt depressed he still had a reason to live .

All these thoughts were going on and on like a tornado in his mind all the way till he reached home.

he went to open the door by key , not ringing the doorbell because it was late at night and his daughter probably asleep . he reached for the door knob so he could open the door but then! suddenly a voice came from somewhere far behind him .

" I wouldn't do that if I were you. Are you sure that you would be able to handle it?" said the voice 

Christopher thought that maybe it was his neighbours or some stranger talking on the phone or something as that night was the night before christmas and many people were out hanging up their last minute decorations or celebrating with their friends .

but sadly that wasn't the case

As, the moment he was about to put the keys in the lock an unknown hand grabbed his shoulder 

" are you sure about that ?" the unknown said 

Christopher was startled and angered by the sudden movement , in a fit of rage he turned around and what he saw shocked him it was the same man , the one he saw on the street earlier !

cold sweats running down his face as he was looking at the stranger smiling at him , he was unable to move it was like his body was paralysed from the shock , he could do nothing but stare at this person .

"Well I was sure that you would be startled but? this much! Really? , Do I look that bad ?" said the stranger in a very unserious tone like he was cracking some kind of joke but Christopher was not in the mood for a laugh....

Christopher was confused and scared, while his body wouldn't move , he couldn't help but think "Is this person sane?what is wrong with you ? who are you ?" were the questions going on his mind.

He was very confused he wanted to say a lot of things and get out of this situation as fast as possible but he felt helpless as he also had another thing to worry about his daughter who was inside the house alone . if the stranger wanted they could enter the house as the lock already had keys in it .

while he was still paralysed All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind! .

"You sure do think alot?, Don't worry about it... there is nothing I want from you.. but! I Guess? you do have something I want But Lets think about that later -.., Now! the question is... do you want to enter your house?while I am warning you not to do so ?" said the strange man in a mysterious and funny tone 

" who are you? what do you want? why are you doing this to me ?" were the questions running through Christophers mind as he was silently screaming on the inside with rage .
