Thanks a lot for reading my book.
I hope you like this one too.
I got this on a magazine. I can't give any guarantee if it's real or not. But it was kind of creepy.I liked to read books. It was my hobby to collect old books. One of my friend gifted me a book. It was really old. It was written in a language I couldn't understand. There were drawings, more like scribbles of stars and other stuff.
I wasn't really interested in the book. So, I left it in a corner of the bookcase. After one week after getting that book I had to go to another place for work related issues. I got a phone call from my upstairs neighbour that , someone is inside my house. They had heard constant sound of shifting furnitures, running sinks, even they heard people chanting. They sounded really freaked out. I told them to call the police.The next day they called again. This time they sounded frantic. What's wrong? I asked them. He replied in a Whisper that, there are demons inside my apartment. They are furious for calling the police. Now they are going to kill him. I thought they were joking. So I didn't pay any attention to him.
After three more days I returned back to my place. Only to find something I would never forget.The house was covered with yellow tapes. My apartment was locked. I went next door. I asked them what happened.
What I heard next was something I never thought would happen. The woman next door told me that, about three nights ago the man and woman who lived upstairs committed suicide. But it looked more like a murder suicide case. The woman's hand were cut in deep slits. But the knife used to do that wasn't found.
It felt like everything was my fault. I felt such guilt. I should have seen the signs and called the police that night. I mean was really obvious that they were losing their mind. How can demons be real. I went to the police station because I needed to get inside my apartment.One of the officers came with me to my apartment. While he was opening the the locks I asked him about the murder or suicide.
He had the same story as the woman next door. I asked him about the missing knife. He told me that it was probably a very thin knife like the ones used to open letters.He opened the door. I said thank you to him as he left. It was kind of creepy to sit inside a house all alone, that faced such a tragedy only a few days ago.
I thought of reading a book. The book with the unknown language really caught my eyes. I brought it out and sat on the sofa to read. There was something inside the book. But before I could open it I touched something wet on the cover. I looked over to my hand. There was blood. There was fresh blood on the cover. I carefully opened the page. There was a small thin knife inside the book. It was covered with fresh blood.I somehow got up and called the police. They thought that it was a perfect match with the marks on the woman's hand. They took it for evidence they even took the book with them.
A month after that incident I asked my friend about the book. Where he got it?, who it belonged to? etc.
He was a cop. He said that he found the book at a crime scene a few months ago. It looked old so he brought it for me.
I asked him what the crime was. He replied that it was a murder suicide incident.
I was shocked after hearing that. I asked him if any of them had slits on their hands or not. He said that the woman had her hands slit.
I asked him if he got the knife. He said that the knife was inside the book.
