whispered.
    Manav screamed on top of his voice. He had administrated a powerful dose of sleeping pills into his nerves to get rid of the voice and find his way into the world of unconsciousness. Things had faded in front of his eyes; he hardly saw the tacky interior of his apartment. He could not smell the filth around him either. He heard nothing but the whispers of the voice. He cried out loud and tears rolled down his eyes like a great ocean during a catastrophic tsunami. Like a baby, he curled on the broken couch, with his knee bent up to his face, a tight string of metal binding his ankle with his thigh, to deregulate blood circulation to gain an induced state of trance.
    Zeb mi vrom di yell! Bileez…. The voice quivered in the most haunting of tones he had ever heard. The syllables were not clear at all, he could not even identify the language in which the voice spoke. It seemed too far away from him, but it was approaching him for sure.
    With all the consciousness that was left in him, he pulled the string to make it tighter. He shrieked like a tortured new born and then slowly passed out. The voice slowly faded away and into numbness did he go… slowly…
    This was exactly how he had projected the thoughts fading into numbness at the time of death in one of his movies, but now it was happening to him for real. He was not sure if he was dying or if he was put to sleep successfully.
    There was a thudding noise. Someone had broken into his apartment.

    She kept knocking on the door, but nobody was answering and then she heard a loud cry from inside. She recognized the male voice instantly and did not take any further ado to learn that something had terribly gone wrong inside. She turned the latch, just to try her luck. The door was locked from inside. The only solution was to break open. She took few steps back and turned around to see there was anyone who could be of help. However, she could not see even a single soul around. The apartment seemed to be deserted. And then it struck her, just because she was a woman did not imply that she could not break open the termite laid wooden door. She could do it on her own. Taking in a deep breath she launched herself onto the door. There was hardly any impact on the door, it shook by a millimetre, however Pakhi felt a sudden pain injected into her right shoulder with which she had banged on the door. She patched the injured shoulder with her left hand and looked around again to find something hard to hit on the door. She was not going to give up. She remembered the sledgehammer she had seen inside the elevator. At once she ran to the elevator, praying for the sledgehammer to be there, she pressed the button to call the elevator.
    ‘I hope its owner did not come back and take his toolkit. Take away everything; just leave the damn sledgehammer there. That’s all I need!’ She said to herself as the elevator’s door opened. She was praying to an unidentifiable entity, being an atheist she did not identify God. The elevator’s door opened and she quickly scanned the entire floor of the elevator but alas she could not find the sledgehammer or the abandoned toolkit anywhere.
    ‘Damn!’ She cursed at her ill-luck, ‘Wait! The elevator just descended from upstairs and there is only one floor above this. So, the person who used it before me must have got off there.’ Saying this to herself she pressed the button for up and then with a jerk the elevator came into motion. She moved upwards. ‘Oh! I hope I find the guy with a sledgehammer right in front of me!’
    The elevator opened, and she saw what she had prayed for… A man in a mechanic’s suit at a distance of a few countable feet and just next him lay the mighty sledgehammer. Pakhi ran towards the man and asked unhesitatingly ‘Can I take this hammer, please? I will bring it back in five minutes.’
    The man turned towards the lady in distress, but before
