It’s a true story and I have read it so long ago that I still remember it fresh in my head as though it was yesterday. A boy aged 4 still in his happy years of innocent childhood, had a fate that was drawn in his life which is still to this day so gruesome. He as nay normal boy was not interested in studies though he was smart, maybe you can call it laziness or lack of patience to sit down in one place. “Why can’t you learn something and get a better grade?!?†his mother used to yell at him, she was quite impatient with him, but he tried and tried to please his mother but there was no pleasing her. One day she has given him some of his school work which he had to complete and she was engrossed in her work. Just then she got a phone call from her work place requesting her to come immediately. She went to check on her son and there he was instead of doing his work he was busy drawing. She grew furious. “you can never do anything right†saying this she dragged his little hand with his drawing paper and his school work and put him and his belongings into the cloth closet. “you stay in there until you have learnt your lesson†she banged the door shut leaving a whimpering boy inside well aware that he is afraid of the dark. “I’ll get him after 5mins she thoughtâ€. Forgetting all about her son she left. Returning back after 7hrs, she searched for her son everywhere not remembering he was in the closet. “oh my God†it struck her at once and she ran to open the door of the closet where a small pale faced boy tumbled down into her hands, clutching a tear soaked letter in his tiny palm. ‘ Im sory momma I wil not dizoby u agin plase dunt lieve me in hure. Im afrid of durk’ this is what his letter said. The lady was not pressed with any charges because she was put into a mental asylum, she never did recover from her shock, as she bore the guilt that she had killed her only son. It is said that for many years a small whimpering and sobbing sounds of a little boy could be heard from the closet, the mother lived for 80 unfortunate years and after her death people have seen her in that house walking around with a lamp to give to her son so that he will not be afraid of the dark.
