dusk had set in giving the meadows a look of peace and tranquility.Antone lay in the grass mesmerised.glancing at his watch he realized how late he was got up. he decided to take a short cut ans through the woods .

knowing the way through the forest he moved briskly nervously looking at his watch to see if he would be in time to reach home before supper. he had just walked for some time when he heard something .it was faint but was unmistakably that of an animal. as the sound grew louder, Antone realized that it was of a goat bleating. suddenly he  heard the swish of an axe and then making  no attempt to find out what it was . Antone ran as fast as his legs could take him.

he soon reached home. he decided not to tell  his  parents about the incident.....after all it was no big incident...or was it????that very night as Antone sat in his room , doing his studies ......a peculiar sound seemed to by pass his ears. Antone realized that it was the exact same sound, the bleat of a goat in the woods. the faint sound seemed to come from the outside but on account of investigating his entire estate......he found no sign of any living being. as he came back to his room , the faint sound escalated to an intense horrifying bleat, it seemed to be coming from every object present in antone's room . it seemed as if the entire room was coming to life.antone ran to his parent's chambers and asked them if they were hearing the sound too.but they did'nt and instead told antone that it was just his fancy and made him to retreat back to bed.

the next morning ,  antone's house was being swarmed by people from all around the neighborhood . there were police cars parked in his garden and some investigators checking his room. the atmosphere inside gave a vague impression that somebody had died that night. Antone had committed suicide.

three months later a similar incident occurred . but this time together with a suicide ....a case of mass homicide followed. the boy who had committed suicide,  annihilated his entire family before killing himself. the uncle of the murderer who was the sole survivor of the bloody incident told reporters and the police ....that his nephew first complained of hearing sounds in his room.....sounds of a goat bleating which none of the others heard.. the next instant he started going crazy as if some evil had possessed his brain,  shooting anyone his eyes focused on with an old family gun.....and later shooting himself on his temple.

these kinds of incidents just kept on repeating time and time again . there were more suicides and more murders during the next few months. yet there was still no logical explanation for such a happening. every case seemed ambiguous  and unclear and it summed up to nothing. only thing that brought some light to this strange enigma was that all the incidents  were  bounded by one sole evidence......the bleat of the goat.

more people  are still dying even now, not even knowing for what reason they are dying for. more bodies are plying up in the morgue, still there is no explanation to this eerie incidents. until now a total of  27 bodies have already been officially declared. 28 to be more precise because just yesterday they found yet another body , a stray one...which was badly burned....and until now  they have not been able to identify the person  yet.

now , this very moment , as I write this , I too hear something , it's faint , but I can feel it growing louder and louder. it comes from where, I exactly cannot tell . because every object of my house seems to be coming to life as everything  is  speaking to me . everything I see,, the bleat seems to be coming from it. I look into the fire  place ....I hear it ,,together with it I hear voices of humans too. voices of my dead parents calling out to me. the sound is being more intense now and it's unbearable. I don't know what exactly should I do, I just don't know what will be my next move..............

do u still want to know whose  was the 28th body......????
