Forest Fire in the Class
Forest Fire in the Class
up the same thing and passes it on. Then, something entirely different is fabricated. This is
how a rumour spreads. When I was younger, I was rather ingenuous and believed all the
ghost stories my friends would tell me. Though, now I know better. So many rumours like
the existence of Bloody Mary, Annabelle and many other cursed spirits were spread across
the school just like wildfire! I, being the credulous one at that time, believed in all of them and
sometimes made up ludicrous ideas like sleeping with the idols of gods.
One friend of mine, Ahaana, told me once that if we said “Bloody Mary” thrice, then
her apparition would appear. I told a few of my friends and they told theirs and the surprise
was that I wasn’t the only who believed which was quite a bolt from the blue. For the next
month, the only thing we were talking about was summoning Bloody Mary. Around the
second week, there were rumours about the ghost’s appearance. Some said she had a long
blood-red tongue. Others said she had backwards legs. I, being me, believed all of it.
Later, the only trustworthy person - my mother - told me that ghosts aren’t real. All this
time, I was scared of a stupid and totally illusory rumour. After that, I was quite sick and
tired of Ahaana. Trust me, I didn’t talk to her for weeks. Not only me, the whole school was
vexed with her.
