"Hey max come-on go to sleep"

"No not yet, I've to watch that red dawn"

"Oo how you know hell is red?, Have you visited there?"

"Stop asking nonsense mummy, let you leave me alone"

"Ok watch that red dawn if it arrives, wake me up"

"Good night"

"Ya good night"

Max has slept on the swing at terrace of house. It was 3am sky started to became orange.

Kiran woke up as she heard some noise in the living area.

Coming out of room in a long hallway,

"Hey max are you there, hey max are you in the living room."

Suddenly someone passed from behind in the other end of hallway.

She got scared, but moved from hallway to downstairs at living room.

She saw the door open,

"Hey max are you In the garden?"

No reply she got, she continues moving to the garden she reaches at the door and gets scared on what she sees.

The sky was dark orange in color, she ran to the terrace to see what exactly is happening, as the area of garden was covered with the trees.

She was at the terrace now, what she saw was really very scary, max was on the swing, sleeping but the eyes are open, his blood was flowing out of his body, Kiran got scared, she tried to take him away, but she was not able to take him away.

Soon she saw that max her son was dead, his body was blue and purple in color, she ran from there and got to the bedroom. She woke her husband. He woke up, he don't know what was happening,

"Darling why you look so worried?" He asked

"The sky has going red in color, the dawn of red is real and it is going to occur" she said

"You might have seen the dream, just turn off the lamps and go to sleep"

"Lamps? I've never turned on lapms, watch the sky, the light is coming from there"

"He got to the window and watched the sky, it was orange In color, he got scared"

"She told him what happened to their son max, how he died"

He can't believe that what has happened, so they both went to terrace.

Standing at the door of terrace, he saw his son max lying on the swing, lifelessly. He felt very bad for his 10 year old son. His blood was slowly moving towards the sky.

They both came in the house, in the living area, sat on sofa and was discussing about the dawn.

"Atif i think I know, max was talking about some red dawn before he died"

"What red dawn?"

"Yes"

"But how dawn can be red?"

"Don't know, he might have read in some book, he was reading some book from past few weeks"

"Ok"

They slept while talking, alarm in the living room rang, and it was 8 in the morning.

"Honey wake up it's 8 am" kiran said

Atif woke up, and said

"Is it morning?"

"Yes but it don't look like" kiran said

They still can't believe what has happened last night. And went to the terrace again.

The sky was black in color, the blood was disappeared and max was still on the swing lying lifelessly.

They both came near to max, his body was blue and purple in color, and eyes open wide in white. Kiran and Atif started crying watching max like this. They both were shocked and sad.

Atif took max body to the room, and this time he lifted easily.

They kept him in the room and went out to see what really has happened.

As soon as they came out they saw that there are lots of people died, some in house, some on the roads, some In the cars.

Soon they came to know, they are not only one who saw that dawn.

The sky in the evening was still black. Temples and churches and mosques and other worship places where no more.

"It looks like god also can't save us from this" said kiran

"Come on let's head to the local police station"

They got back to the home, took the car and went to the local police station.

There were lots of people in the police station, complaining about the murder or the mystery of last night dawn.

They felt helpless as police also don't know what has happened. They came back home, when they came back, they saw max body was not in the room his body was suddenly disappeared.

They searched all over the house but he was not there.

Atif was in the library, and suddenly he saw that book in the shelf.
