Sokotra

Why do you now feel as if she is an old woman despite being only twenty-one years old! The sound of approaching footsteps reached her ears, she straightened her sitting position, and her heartbeats quickened as she gazed toward the door. Every time those footsteps drew nearer to her room’s door, her heart would race even faster. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling swung wildly, the lights trembled as if they were about to go out, then intensified again and flooded the place with strength as if an invisible hand was playing with them. Someone knocked on the door three times forcefully, then waited a little, and knocked again with great determination. When she did not respond, she prayed to God that this visitor would leave, for she feared her tongue might slip and reveal everything. The door slowly opened with a frightening screech, and her guest entered, approaching with eyes shining with passion and curiosity. He sat quietly, waiting for her to reveal all her secrets. She kept staring at his face until she thought she wouldn’t speak, and finally she swallowed her saliva. Her memory took her back ten years, and she began to reveal the secrets she had in her possession. Strange stories will be told here!
