A CURSED DOOR
‘Hassan take my hand’ he heard Murtaza after a while. Murtaza was able to grab him while hanging from the one end of rope. Termites were throbbing on their hands. It was too aching and irritating but Murtaza didn’t leave his hand. He pulled Hassan by all his force and got him. They all landed on the sack of sand.

‘I don’t want to go further’ Hassan was terrified.
‘Ok, as you wish,’ the robbers hold their lanterns,
lit them again and moved forward.
‘Come on Hassan, we can’t stay here,’
‘Look for the small door here’ chief read his book
in the shadowy dim light.
After looking at different corners, a small door
appeared at the base.
‘Open it,’ one of the robbers gave a shovel to
Murtaza.
‘Here’s a handle,’ he pointed towards a wooden ring.
‘I can’t,’ Murtaza pulled that handle with great
force but fell back.
‘Keep on trying. Hey, what are you staring at? Help him out,’ they gave another shovel to
Hassan.
‘It’s too intricate. Why aren’t you supporting us?’
Hassan and Murtaza hardly held their breath after a lot of tries.
‘Don’t you understand yet? Why are we towing you
goofs with us?’ put a fruitful strive or otherwise…,’ the chief took out his
dagger and moved to them.
‘aaaaa…,’ they both jolt back badly and screamed.
DEADLY ARMY OF SPIDERS
An army of giant spiders jumped out with the broken
door and slipped in their eyes.
‘Deadly spiders. Cut them out,’ robbers took out
their daggers and threw to them.
‘Follow me. These beasts will take revenge only from
the persons, who dump their feet in their webs,’ chief robber entered the room
leaving Hassan and Murtaza behind.
Two arms with
a single dagger were deficient for hundreds of crawling beasts.
‘This place is cursed, these creatures are stopping
us, it means there must be something precious over here,’ Murtaza held his
wound and looked at the spiders, who were now forwarding to he room suddenly.
‘They knew it,’ Hassan tried to get up when they
heard the screams from inside the room. Now the spiders were visiting the robber’s
bodies freely.
‘Aay may day, zee jay hoo, ‘aay zay noo…,’ the chief
robber started reciting some magical words loudly from his book. Just then a
giant spider bit his hand and that book fell at another corner. He continued
his reciting loudly, when suddenly all spiders went back and there was silence
all around. They all were bleeding by the spider bites. They all found themselves in a small old
room, which was full of sand and spider webs.
‘I think our search has finished. Start digging from
here,’ leader took out small lantern from his pocket and ordered them.
‘Look for those dumb and order them to dig,’ he looked
around and found them soaring outside.
Another painful attempt had been started. They started
to dig the sand from one corner and continue to screams after breaks on finding
the skulls and bones from there.
A BEAUTIFUL PHARAOH PRINCESS
Hassan could look at that book which kept open at
one side. He saw a picture of a beautiful queen wearing a heavy gold jewelry,
sat in her room. Her one arm was prominent because of a beautiful gold
bracelet. Something was written on that page:
‘Fall in sleep dear.
In the 10th century the sun will shine, your lucky stones
will place you on throne. A mist will cover you from 21st century
but it’ll clear at the skies of 24th lap of time.’ Murtaza tried to
read that.
‘Where are the remains of that queen? I believe no
one ever has reached here before,’ the chief was being patience less.
‘Can you read these codes? What is written,’ he
looked Hassan and Murtaza reading the dates which were unreadable for that
robber.
‘Yes, these are dates, linking your time with past
and future,’ Hassan replied.
‘What do you mean by your time? Then where you come
from?’ the chief yelled.
‘What else you know?’ he put his dagger on his
throat.
‘We’re from future. A scientist dragged us here to
meet his research. He claimed to come from two centuries ahead from our time.
We know nothing except this,’ Murtaza hurriedly tried to save Hassan.
‘An earth
quake,’ Murtaza cried. Hassan was also terrifying to see the roof was about to
fall on them.
MUMMIES ALL AROUND
‘Continue
your digging, this old building will not fall, it’s just a trick to stop us. It
means we are near our goal, sleeping guards are trying to forbid us,’ first man
got excited. Strangely those three men stopped digging and said Hassan and
Murtaza to excavate further.
‘Hurry up,’ excitement, fear and thrill could be
seen on the faces of those men. Hassan and Murtaza were badly injured and
terrified but they were forced to accept their orders. Murtaza continued his
digging in the shaking floor when someone holds his shovel from inside the
floor; he cried loudly and fell behind.
‘There is someone under the sand who had caught my shovel’
he cried and went unconscious. Those men moved forward, ignoring Murtaza. The
shovel was fixed in a handle of a door.
‘There must be a tunnel. Open it,’ they ordered
Hassan who was worried for Murtaza, who was unconscious.
After half an hour, door moved slightly and
just then hundreds of mummies attacked them from all sides. There were mummies,
coming from walls. One man pulled the door and they all three jumped in the
tunnel and closed the door leaving both of them.
‘Stop takes us with you’ Hassan tried to catch the
door.
‘You opened the door so you both are cursed now.
These mummies will harm you, not us now. We can’t take you with us.’
‘Live with these mummies and become their
companions,’ their leader told them brutally and closed the door by pushing
Hassan down.
Hassan looked at Murtaza and then all around, those
mummies were just scaring him but they were still at their places.
‘Please Murtaza open your eyes, please …..’ Hassan
started crying.
MURTAZA’S MOTHER BECAME WORRIED
‘Yes, Hassan came a little while ago but they both
set off immediately,’ Murtaza’s mother replied on asking.
‘What happened? I thought they would be at your
side?’ she got worried.
‘I don’t think so, they came in here. Don’t get
worry, they may be outside in the lawn,’ Hassan’s mother turned off the mobile
at once and moved to their common lawn. Murtaza’s mother also opened the door
to look outside.
