An Untitled Story -Episode 1

The silence if the house was broken by shrill crashing sound that came from out side the house . Alex was very confused and was not able to register that sound at that point of time . It had been 10 months not that he had shifted to this country side and he had never heard a soul even whisper past 8 in night . That was the reason he used to sleep in the evening and then continue his research in the way hours of night surrounded with his thoughts and silence. But today he was not able to concentrate at work thus he was taking a break listening to one of his favourite tracks but the sound that came from out side had shook him.

And now as his track reached a higher note reality hit back on him and be dashed to he window to see what shape happened .it was a usual summer night silent and dark as death but the difference was the lights flickering from a car that had hit the tree. It took Alex just a moment to realise that the car belonged to Sara his only neighbour in the long country side . He was scared about what had happened but then he just rushed to the main door grabbed a flash light and ran to the car . He was shocked to the sight that he saw .Sara’s car had hit the tree badly the front portion was all smashed ,front mirror broken and Sara almost flinging out of the front mirror just hold at tips by the seat belt. Her head was bleeding and her body lay as if dead . Alex checked her pulse and he found them pumping slow though . with out wasting any time he dialled the ambulance and told them about the situation and they set on their way . Mean while he removed the broken front window with full caution and also took Sara out of the car he lay her down on the mat that he got from his house . She just lied there as if dead. Alex had placed come cotton wedge at her head as to slow down the blood that was oozing out of it . He sat next to her holding that wedge to her head and watching her ..

Suddenly the happenings of past started to come up in his head . How he had left his job in London after the death of his best friend in an accident . He was there with him when their train got derailed and after that it was all black until the next day when the rescue workers pulled him out of the debris . The moment he came to senses he asked about Ron it was then he came to know that he was amongst the unlucky 7 out of 145 that had died in that accident . Alex had literally slipped into a coma hearing that news as Ron was the only friend , family he had and it was Alex only who had asked Ron to go the mountains on that weekend and he not being able to refuse him gave in to his idea to have an adventurous weekend . But none of them had anti anticipated what happened .

It took Alex a month to recover . His internal injuries had recovered but he still had a broken hand . He thought he did manage it like that as he did not wanted to stay in the hospital any more .

Reaching home was all the more bad as all the past memories of Ron started to flash in. Alex was not able to sleep during nights he tried having sleeping pills but it did not effect him .It was then he had planned to leave London forever and go to the country side university to do his research work and live there in anonymity till all the wounds he got in his heart were filled .

Getting a recommendation for the university was not tough as he was working on the same lines in London. Even the stipend offered was good compared to the country side that had every thing cheap.

Alex avoided the university quarters as he wanted to live alone from the crowd.
After searching a bit he had come across the apartment he had settled in.
It was a relatively new bungalow , Quite big for a single person but he liked it styling. But above this the best part was the it stood in solace only house visible in a radius of mile was the one across the road which was of same design and felt unoccupied . And Alex was getting this house very cheap as it being at a deserted place . It was 10 Mile away from the town and another 13 miles away from the university but Alex Used to love driving and thus he had settled down or the house.
And he did be always happy with his decision at in the past 1 month he had been al by him self and it was working good for him as he had fully indulged himself in his work which had helped him get over the past memories . But today they have come out of the box .

His lie of thought was broken by the sound of the ambulance . He looked at Sara again her condition was the same but the blood that was coming out had slowed down and some of it even started clotting.

As soon as the ambulance arrived the Para medics took over the situation . They put her to life support and put her in the ambulance . I asked them about Sara’s situation they did not say much but just that it was critical.

They stated to the City hospital and I locked the house and followed them in my car .
