That inhabitant of darkness
Nooooo…. Sudeepa screamed; the sound of the rain drowned out her screams, there was no escape…
As soon as she unlocked the door, a musty smell hit Sudeepa's nose. It wasn't unusual for this old house to smell like this on a rainy day, Sudeepa herself was used to this smell; but still, today, her senses were somehow confused. She somehow pushed her soaking wet body into the bathroom. She stood up from the shower and fell down, her body shaking and trembling. The shower water was pouring down her face in a continuous stream, this is a hilly area, water is used very sparingly here, but Sudeepa didn't care about that today. So, will the police really be looking for Deepta? As soon as they heard everything, they said that he was somehow rolling in the ditch! Will Sudeepa tell everything at home now or wait for morning!
There was no electricity, while groping around in search of a candle with her wet body, Sudeepa suddenly noticed that the outer door was wide open. She was shocked, didn't she lock the door after entering? She couldn't remember anything. As she walked towards it, she stumbled, who was sitting in the room! Even though it was dark, her figure was clear. Sudeepa shouted in a panicked voice, "Who...? Who's there? Kaushik?"
"You were expecting Kaushik Babu, I guess?"
"K...who?"
"You recognized me, Su, I'm your Deepta."
"Di... Deepta?" As much as Sudeepa was scared by the fear of the unknown stranger, she was even more scared by the familiar voice.
"Why did you leave me there, Su? You don't know how much I'm afraid of the rain!"
Sudeepa knew how much Deepta was afraid of the rain, seven years ago on a terrible rainy day, a tree branch fell on the man and he was paralyzed for the rest of his life. Deepta was pushing the wheelchair towards her, Sudipta's throat was going dry. Deepta came and hugged her with both arms; her wet body shivered at the cold touch, “You… what happened to you, Deepta?”
“They brought me…” Deepta's voice sounded so faint
“Who!”
“Can you see them around?”
“No… who are you talking about?”
“Those who live in the darkness, in the darkness you left me in today.”
“Deepta…!” Sudipta shouted.
“I can't live without you for a moment, Su, where did you think you would escape by escaping me?”
“No… no…” Sudipta tried to escape from Deepta's arms, but she couldn't move a single hair. She could clearly feel two hands coming out of the ground and hugging her legs, shadows were floating around the room, Sudeepa could feel the presence of an incorporeal presence all over her body… They were playing a demonic game, Deepta had joined them.
Nooooo…. Sudeepa screamed; the sound of the rain drowned out her screams, there was no escape…

That terrible black cat
The SSC exams were over. So this time I would get a long vacation. So I started planning where to go. After much thought, I decided to go to my village home. I requested my dear friend Suman to go with me to my village home, he agreed. On the specified day, Suman and I reached the village home by bus. We went there on Tuesday, so it was not very crowded. The day after reaching the village home, a strange incident happened. The village's Sharif Ali is said to have died. He also committed suicide again. I felt a little bad. The police investigated and said that he committed suicide by jumping off the roof. I did not understand why a person like him would commit suicide. Because he got his two daughters married. He also got grandchildren. He should be happy. Anyway, as I was going to his house that day and thinking about him, I did not realize when the night had passed. After running around all day, after eating and drinking, Suman and I lay down on the bed. Still, I couldn't sleep at night. Still, I forced myself to stay in bed. When I woke up in the morning, it was almost ten o'clock. I woke up and saw that Suman was not next to me. Then I went to the inner room and saw that not only Suman was there, but also no one else was at home except my two aunts and two sisters. When I asked my aunt where the rest of the family was, she said that everyone in the family had gone to Jasim uncle's house, and Suman was also there. Jasim uncle died last night. Then I ran to Jasim uncle's house without delay. I heard that Jasim uncle had committed suicide by hanging himself. People started saying that someone must have cursed the village. Due to which people are dying one by one. They stopped coming out of the house at night out of fear. Then Avi and Suman decided that we will go out at night. Whatever happens to us will happen but we will find out the secret of the death of the people of the village. At night, the only thing being talked about at the dinner table. At one point, uncle said that tomorrow we villagers will go to a monk or priest together and see if they give us any solution. After finishing the meal, everyone fell asleep. Suman and I were acting, then after everyone fell asleep, we quietly opened the door and went out. After walking some distance, I saw our neighbor Anwar uncle going towards the pond. I didn't understand anything at that time, I just called him. He didn't answer. Suddenly I remembered that he doesn't go swimming. Then I realized that maybe he is going to commit suicide by drowning in the river. Suman and I immediately ran and stopped him. After some time, he came to his senses. When I asked him, he said that he didn't know that he was How did he get to the pond? He said he only heard the sound of a cat crying and then he didn't remember anything else. Then the cat in front of me ran away. Suman and I ran and blocked the cat's path. Then I took out a box of matches from my pocket and said, "Tell me who you are or I will set it on fire." The cat said, "No, don't kill me, I will tell you everything." The cat changed from its cat form into a beautiful woman. Suman said, "She is Akash Ali's wife." Akash Ali used to come home drunk every day. When he came home, he would beat her and her daughter. The girl would just ask, "Why are you beating us?" I would not answer. After going on like this, one day I met a monk and told him everything. Then I asked him how I could keep my daughter with me but no one would see her. He said, "I will recite a mantra and put your daughter inside a cat, so no one will know that there is a girl inside the cat." The next day I took my daughter to him along with our pet cat. He recited the mantra and performed the task. After a few days, Akash Ali's wife went out for some work. She forgot to take the cat, that is, her daughter. went. Akash Ali got angry that day and killed the cat to satisfy his anger for no reason, and after killing the cat, his daughter came out of the cat. Akash Ali's wife came and saw that her daughter had been killed by her husband. A few days later, Akash Ali married another woman. Akash Ali's wife committed suicide in grief over her daughter. After her death, her soul entered the cat. Since then, when the cat cries, people who hear the sound of this cry commit suicide. Akash Ali's wife also told us that until Akash Ali is punished, his soul will not find peace. Then I promised Akash Ali's wife that we will definitely punish Akash Ali. Then Akash Ali's wife came out of the cat's body and the cat died. The next day, my friend Suman was found dead. I said that the soul has left, then how did my friend die? I went to a priest and told him the story. He said that some evil spirit had entered your friend's body. Its purpose was to kill you. You leave here as soon as possible. I am tying a little thread on your hand. Never untie this thread or you may be in danger. I bought a bus ticket that day and returned home. I still don't understand what happened to me that day.
