Fiction Short Story!
Let me tell you the story about a thing that I was
told me. In 1970, there was an old house on top of Manchester’s hills; it is
about a weird house that has been standing empty, frozen in time like a painted
picture for many years. Nobody wanted to pass closely in front of the house, though
the road that led to the house was very beautiful, full of exotic flowers,
especially sunflowers which rise with the sun, tilting towards its bright yellow
light, shining like gold; the road seemed to be covered with a soft carpet,
perfect to barefoot walking, but nothing is further from reality, since the
house’s road had a natural wonderful grass surface; it looked as if the grass and
sunflowers will invite you to walk and enter the house.
Many people around the town built stories about the curse
in the house; at the beginning of the day, the sunflowers and the house looked so
shiny like gold, in some occasions the door and windows opened mysteriously,
there was no way that anyone could live there, but sometimes voices had been
heard. There was no one in the house because of some neighbours close to this house
overwhelmed by curiosity passed near the house and perceived that nobody being
inside. Also in the evenings, clouds were hanging low in the heavens, they
covered the house and it disappeared; just till the sun came out of the house
could be seen, people believed that the house was made of gold, which many of
them wanted to plunder it.
Robert an angry man, who had an illness of the body
that did not let him work, He was considered the best carpenter in the village,
in fact, his works were recognized as true works of art, He was recognized for
many people as exceptionally intelligent and talented, his hands had power. Many
people said that this house was built by Robert because when the construction
of the house was finished, a series of misfortunes appeared in his life.
Robert falls in a deep depression when his wife mysteriously disappeared without a trace, her body was
never found and He is still waiting for her wife to come back; often He blamed
himself; most of the time He says - Why
me my lord? My love! Why have I not seen
you for so long time? Why should these curses be laid upon me? What did I do to
deserve all this guilt? My guilt is too heavy.
To avoid the mortification He preferred to be isolated
from his neighbours and drink all the time to forget the memories, these misfortunes had reduced him to want to take his own life.
Robert desperate for answers over wife’s mysterious
disappearance, He started to suspect that around the cursed house, the air
itself was different as if He could feel his wife’s fragrance, which made
he gets back to the reality to meet again with his wife, perhaps it is the only thing that keeps him alive.
One night wandering in the village Robert had been
drunk, he felt aware of a presence so near to him as if watching his every
move, felling scared He quickened his pace and came to his house, immediately
He opened the window and through the binoculars watched the house as if time
had stopped still He was numb with fear; but very confident to search answers
of his wife in that house, He went to the cabinet, took the flashlight and
walked out of his house and went to the cursed house.
Later, when touching the grass and gazing the
sunflowers, something attacked him and pushed him off the road, He lost the
flashlight, for which the darkness and a thick layer of fog covered the long
road. Once again feeling scared He fell to his knees and started to curse, but something
took his hand leading him to the house; while He was walking up to the house,
one after one the sunflowers started to shine, illuminating the road it was
magic He said.
He was perplexed by what He was seeing – My goodness!
I am in a holy place, my wife could be there! I am a little tired but I need to
get there! I am shaking with fear, but a strange-voiced calmed him!
When arriving at the house, Robert knocked on the door
three times, desperately, looked between the door and could see a beautiful girl was coming to him, She held in the right-hand a beautiful sunflower that was illuminating
her way, when opening the door the girl looked deep into his eyes as if she
wants mesmerized Robert.
In front of him; there was a more or less ten-year-old
beautiful girl never seen before, she was white skin; and her particular
hairstyle she wore made Robert recall his wife when they were teenagers. Eyes
large and full of light, lips so bright in red colour, a well-shaped nose, hair
of great softness-a face that was not easy to forget.
Come in Robert she asked him, I know you so much, I
have seen your desperation, my name is Allisa, perhaps you don’t recall me but
I do! She said, Robert stayed stunned, the girls’ name was the same name of my
wife, He though himself, we sat down and for some moments, while She said
something, many memories come to my mind. He asked himself, this girl I have
seen before, in my childhood, I looked at her with a feeling of sad surprise.
Robert this house is so weird, she said, do you
remember when you asked me that collect sunflowers to decorate our house? I am
your wife Robert, I have got back to the past. In this house, there is a
supernatural power that changes the course of the time, it is like a time
machine that is altered with an electrical storm, I felt as if a gust of wind
were moving me to another time-space, perhaps you don’t believe me, but it is
the truth, I need your help, Robert.
Up until today, nobody has seen Robert again!
Travel through time and space, it would be an amazing experience; who
wouldn’t like to travel through time and space, travelling to the past to see
events long have gone or jumping to the distant future to see the progress of
humanity.
Many people relive various events in their lives. When reflecting on our
lives, we tend to go back to a point in time when we think that everything
could be changed.
If you had a chance to go back into time, would you?
