Witnessing a murder

The woman did not know what to do. Her heart began racing. She had to run and find a safe place until help came. So she started to run in the directions of houses and shops. She hoped that there might be someone she could find some place to hide.

But her efforts were useless, all the shops were tightly shut and all the houses were one fire. She did not lose hope and tried her best. Due to running and all the emotional changes in her, her body began to feel sore. Her legs were getting numb. Before her legs could completely lose its strength, she had to find a safe place. 

Her efforts bore fruit as she found a warehouse which had stairs to go to the first level outside. She thought to take those stairs and find some place. She might be safer there than running in an open area.

She took the stairs as she reached the first level of the warehouse.  There were rooms with doors having coloured glasses to prevent people from seeing through. She did not have much strength to pick something big to break the glass and enter the room. Moreover she did not know if she could get danger if she made noise. 

So she tried to find the room which was unlocked. At this time, her leg struck the edge of a sharp object as she got scared due to some noise in the room which she was about to check. Her legs lost their strength and fell. She supported herself as she kept her hands sideways. She looked here and there to find the source of that noise. 

Unexpectedly her eyes went on a hole in the glass of the door. She was half lying on the floor and could easily see as the hole was on the lower section of the door. The scene which saw inside the room which was actually a big hall of the warehouse stunned her. 

Her mind went blank. She started trembling in fear. Her leg which was struck was bleeding but she could not feel the pain. The object even had some of her skin but it did not matter or pained her as her mind had gone numb. She could not process her surroundings. All the words were choked in her throat. She could just blankly stare at the things happening inside. 

A man completely injured was lying on the ground as he was staring at someone else.

That person had a gun in his one hand as he pointed towards the injured man lying on the floor. It could be completely guessed that the man who held the gun wanted to kill the injured man. 

The injured man was panting loudly. He collected his energy and said,'' The self sufficient state will never fall into your hands which only has three fingers. The curse is… no….. no longer there. Haha'', he suddenly began to laugh. 

Then a hoarse and deep voice sounded so creepy that anyone would get scared.'' Curse was there, is there and will be there. As four mocking my fingers…"

The man who held the gun in his right hand lifted his left hand. His left hand only had three fingers. There was no thumb and little finger. He put his index finger on the trigger of the gun and shooted the man. . 

Thaaaaaa

All of this was witnessed by the woman. She was so scared to get caught that she bit on her tongue from preventing it from shouting or making any other noise. She could no longer see ahead or anything. Her wits told her to run from that place. 

She trembled as she stood up quietly. Her leg was in pain and her tongue was wailing but she only had one thing in her mind, to go away from that place. 

She turned back and ran with her full strength. She did not care if that bastard found that someone else was there. It would be too late for him to follow as she would be gone. 

She did not know any directions. So the path which her heart told her to follow, she followed restlessly. She came quite far from the place. Her legs had again lost it's strength. So she sat nearby. She was panting heavily. She knew that it was not safe so she had to catch her breath and ran again.
