A pair of legs

Harry, an 11-year-old boy who lived with his mother in an old house in the countryside. That day, he was walking to the river to fish. He was used to doing that routine because he had been educated by his late father. Harry used a fishing rod to find fish. While waiting, he ate the lunch his mother made for him. He also ate a fruit he picked up on the way. He had never seen the fruit before, but it looked good to eat. He spent the rest of the afternoon with enough fish for him and his mother to eat in the evening.

On his way home, he passed through a dense and dark forest. The light was getting dimmer as it was already evening. Carrying fish in his right hand and fishing gear in his left, he walked leisurely. As he looked ahead about 500 meters, he saw two feet from the bushes as if someone was lying there. Suddenly he immediately went to check because he was worried that someone needed help. However, something out of the ordinary happened. At first, he thought it was a person, but it wasn't.

It was a pair of legs without a body. Yes, only the two legs. Harry was very shocked, and the legs immediately ran towards the forest. As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, but it did happen. He immediately rushed to his house because he was so scared.

Once inside the house, she approached her mother to tell her what had happened. Breathless, Harry told her everything. However, his mother's reaction seemed to take it for granted. His mother said, "It's okay. It's a normal thing. You will see him soon." Harry was confused by his mother's words.

The night was getting quieter, Harry went to bed after they had dinner. He remembered that early tomorrow morning, he was going to the city with his friends to buy some things. He wanted to tell his mom first before he went to bed. Leaving his room, Harry headed for his mother's room.

"Mom? Are you still awake?" Harry knocked on his mother's door.

"Not yet, my son. What's wrong?" Asked his mother.

"I'm going to a friend's house tomorrow morning to buy some things. I don't want to disturb mom tomorrow when she's sleeping."

"You have to wake up first." Her mother replied.

Harry was increasingly surprised by his mother's conversation from earlier. He intended to ask her what she meant, but that didn't happen because he saw something strange outside her house.

It turned out that he saw another pair of legs running around his house. Suddenly he was scared again. He shouted to his mother for help while knocking loudly on the door. But there was no sound of any answer from inside the room. He was forced to break the door, but he didn't see his mother.

His gaze was focused on her mother's cupboard, because he saw something that made it shake violently. He was very shocked and confused because he was confronted with two unreasonable situations. Harry then ran towards the exit but unfortunately, he fell and hit his head on the edge of the chair. He was instantly unconscious.

Then, sometime later he woke up in the forest where he first found the two legs. He woke up with a very dizzy head. A few seconds later he realized that he had a bad dream. Finally, he walked to his house to tell his mother about his dream. But there was something strange about the usual path, it seemed to lead to a cemetery. He was directed in the direction of the cemetery until he finally reached a gravestone that read "Ellie. 1906-1975. I love my baby, Harry".
