What is Strange?

By the following week, all of them moved to my place. I had a hard time giving them rooms to stay. Though the rooms were large in the matter of size, there were not enough rooms for all of them. Finally, I decided to give each two of them a room. We decided that Arithra and Sudipta would share a room, Aditya and Sparsha would share one, and Bishal and Kanak would share another one. Though I could not provide each of them with a personal room to stay in, I was still happy as I had someone to talk with.

A few days later, when everything was settled, we started to design the spaceship. But before that, we visited the mysterious house again. But as it was like a stadium from inside we named it "The Mars Ground".

On the first day, we discovered that the spaceship and other materials which were found by us did not even have a scratch on them as if they were the most perfect materials in the universe. Though at first, it felt creepy to me, my friends did not even have the thought that it was strange at all. However, we stayed there for about an hour. Then, we came back to my house which is our house now. But the one thought that none of us had was that how can a house that has a roof can have an even larger stadium-like area that doesn't have a roof. But as people think that anything that is the most usual matter to us, is the strangest matter to them. And this reminds me of an adventure of our childhood. This may feel strange to you but after this adventure, we don't feel the strangeness of many strange matters. They sound very normal to us.

When we were college students, we were fond of going on adventures In our locality. During summer vacations, we went to the village just outside our small town. The name of the village is Nirjanganj. The reason behind this name is that in proportion to the area only a really small group of people live here. However, there was a deep forest in the village and one day we found a spooky mansion there. The following day, we went to have a closer look at it. We tried to open the door and found out that it was so old that it almost broke when pressed on the handle. Then, we entered the mansion. Until then everything was normal. We took the stairs and got into a room. We opened the window and saw that it was already dark though our watches showed that it was only a quarter past ten in the morning. We were shocked but not scared at all. But as soon as we got outside we found almost everything was moving until they noticed and there was no sign of life except us. We tried to escape the place. But accidentally Bishal slipped on the floor and swallowed a bolt made of steel. He was suffering to breathe. We also panicked. But just after a moment, he was back to normal as if nothing happened. We hurried and escaped the place. Then we took him to the local clinic for a check-up but the doctor said that nothing happened to him. But then what happened to that bolt? However, we were happy that there was nothing to worry about. But we were shocked again when learned that it was only a quarter to ten. Had we traveled half an hour backward in time? We don't know what really happened but we still did not encounter such a horrific thing in our life.
