SOMEONE IN THE ATTIC

They had taken Henry to the hospital, but they had not spoken about the shout. They had taken him to the hospital because he had a high fever, James was the one who checked him up and wrote medicines for him. His vocal cords had been severely damaged due to the shout, and it would be apparent to any doctor that it was not because of any fever, but shouting. He was admitted for a couple of days, during which time he had taken good care of him. Though he had to be admitted longer, James did not want to do that, because he did not want anything to happen in the hospital. 

Nothing at all had happened in the hospital, as soon as they had reached in the hospital and the profopol effects had worn out, he had woken up. He had been fine, and had not been able to remember anything that had happened in the attic or in the room, he could just remember waking up late in the night, nothing else. His mother found that a good thing, his father though, wanted to know what had happened in the attic, because this time Henry had not fallen down from the ladder, but had just been unconscious in the cold attic. Arthur could not take those eyes he had seen in the attic and the two wails from out of his mind, in his dreams he would always go to the attic and see a woman, who was angry at his family, she wanted to hurt them.

Henry’s mother decided to sleep in Henry’s room for some days to take care of him. Arthur went to his room and hoped that he will not dream the same dream again. He did not want to believe in ghosts, but what he had seen in the past few days, made him think otherwise. The first night he remembered that he came home after a rough day in the hospital, going to this medical store to that in order to find a certain medicine for Henry. His work was going tough as well and had been very busy that day. He had come home after having dinner with his wife and Henry in the hospital, Helen had remained in the hospital and had insisted that he should go home because he had stayed awake the other night. He knew she had been awake as well, though he had sent her home to rest. 

He had reached home late it had been almost midnight, he went to his room and without changing he lay down on his bed. In no time, sleep had taken him and he had been walking in the hall downstairs when Helen had called him from his room. He went upstairs and she had not been there, he had called her and looked around the house, but she had not been there. When he was about to leave and look outside for her, he heard her again from their room. He went up but she was not there, before he could leave and look outside, she had called him again, this time from the attic. He had gone in the attic; in his dreams he had been unaware of the incident two nights ago. When he had gone up to the attic, he had seen Helen, standing on the other end of the attic, but there had been someone else standing. She had so tall that she had dwarfed Helen, she had looked at him with an angry face, then she had wailed and he had woken up, the wail had been ringing in his ears.

In his room he sat and took off his shoes, he was still too tired to change. He took off his shoes and socks and wearing slippers left his room to check on Henry and Helen. He was too tired so he just wanted to check if Helen was sleeping or sitting at Henry’s side and wanted to check if Henry was fine and did not have a fever again. 

He opened the door very slowly, seeing his wife sleeping he took a deep breath and went to Henry side to check his temperature, which was mild. He kissed his forehead and left his room to rest. He did not change and lay on his bed, before he could do anything else, he was fast asleep. Again walking in the hall downstairs, he heard his wife call him, he did not go to his room but directly to the attic. In this dream he remembered everything, Henry’s shout and admission to hospital and the dreams he had seen since then. He saw a woman standing in the attic on the other side of the attic, then a man joined her, who came from the darkness. Before he could think of anything, the whole attic was full of angry tall figures, there were children as well, women and men. It seemed like they were all a family, and his worst thought was turned into reality when the tall woman he had always seen said, “Leave our home, or we will kill your whole family.” She stepped forward, seeing her huge body walk towards him, he stepped back. Pain surged through his left foot, a long nail had dug deep in his foot. He fell on the attic floor and sat there looking at his foot, which was bleeding a lot. He heard a shout, which he recognized as his wife’s voice.

He woke up and sat down, he heard the shout again. His foot was paining a lot and bleeding, he paid no heed to it and ran towards Henry’s room. When he opened the door, he saw his wife had taken Henry in her arms in a protective way and was looking where he standing. He walked to her and said, “What happened?” She was shaking and her eyes were red, with a shaking voice she said, “A woman… there was a woman… over there.” She pointed towards the door, and he understood it that she was talking about behind the door. He walked towards the door, not paying attention to his wife’s protests. He closed the door with a bang and stepped back. 

There was no woman there, but when he looked down on the floor, he saw that the floor was burned in the shape of footprints that were directing towards the wall. His wife stood up and came towards him, he put his arms around her, “She was looking at me. Your foot, what happened.” He had forgotten all about his foot, the blood, the pain and even the dream. But it all came back to him and all he could say was, “I think we need help.”
