One freezing night, my phone rang loudly. This sank my heart in deep fear of such incoming call by that hour of the night, It was 12:30am.

Reluctantly answering the call, It was my favorite aunt, Uchechi. In joy, I spoke with her for hours but she sounded strange while saying good night. In her words- "I will miss you but I will try visit every night", which sounded confusedly strange.

****
Uchechi danced with me
in a black gown
She was soo beautiful
but very sad.
I stood right in front of her
asking the reasons for her sadness.
Suddenly, she started screaming loudly lamenting on how she dosen't want to go.
I dragged her hands but it was pulled forcefully by a dark skinned hand

Ring! Ring!
My phone buzzes with my mother's call which woke me from such weird dream. Suddenly, all I could hear was alto, soprano and high pitched cries piercing through my ears. My mum sorrowfully said "aunt uchechi died yesternight at 12:15am".
My phone fell off from my hand while fidgeting,
How can the dead contact the living?
I became overwhelmed in fear.
WHAT A MOMENT BEYOND IMAGINATIONS!
