I felt a whiff of breath on my neck. There
were goose bumps. They had erupted over my neck as blisters would sprout after
contact with a hot iron bar. The only difference being that the breath which
made contact with my skin was cold....as cold as cold could be....it was frozen
air, frightful, as if someone just dipped my bare skin into a smoky lake on a
frosty winter night.
As her breath caressed my nape, i felt
aroused. I hadn't experienced anything like it before. My heart seemed to have
found its own pace and my mind had transitorily dumped my body. I let her kiss
me. She pressed her lips deep into my ears and explored my mouth. I wanted it
to go on and on. But i knew i had to do something to make this stop. This was
against the law of the nature. A ghost and a human aren't supposed to get
physical. Yet, oblivious to this seemingly frivolous law, we clung on to each
other, our body wrapped onto each other, we sucked pleasure as life embraced
death, the living embraced the dead.
The night witnessed our foreplay and the
cloud covered the moon's eye. After an eternity, we let go. Exhausted, we just
lay over the tomb living the bygone hours again and again and savouring the
moments.
It was through a chance encounter that i
met her. I am conscious of the fact that I am unlikely to meet her again. She
belongs to a world entirely different from mine, and no matter how much it
pains me, i will have to let her go.
As she robed herself and looked set to go,
i planted a goodbye peck on her forehead.
Early morning rays had begun to stream in.
The moment of painful parting was upon us. I couldn't stifle a tear, but she
was an embodiment of stoicism, completely impassive and restrained.
She walked over the threshold of my home
and disappeared. I looked back fondly and trudged over to my coffin. This was
the first time I had made love to a human.

Deleteahhh.. weird but very good narration. you have special thing for this horror, Rats.. :D

Deleteone eery bed time story Ritesh :P
ReplyDeleteIt's a tad bizarre i reckon....not quite spooky or scary.....but if u can get some goosebumps, then i wil sleep a satisfied man ^_^
ReplyDeleteI meant "strange n unusual" :D
ReplyDeleteit was way too romantic to be scary :P
this was, i personally feel, not a top-class literary piece....i hope u liked it though
ReplyDeletelove needs no mass .. does it ? I loved every bit of the story ! Pain is to depart .. real pain when you know there may not be any other day similar to the spent
ReplyDeleteyes, to depart is to leave behind a trail of pain
DeleteThat was very unique! And the narration is just awesome and racy..
ReplyDeletequite adventourous though!
Thank you Kislaya. :))
Deletenice read :P
ReplyDeletethanks jasmeet
DeleteI liked the narration... very well done. The twist the last two lines give the story is the hero here.
ReplyDeleteIt was twilight-ish.
However, I feel, it should be a vampire and not a ghost.. as ghosts aren't known to sleep in coffins... but the bloodsucker undeads are. What say?
Hehe, i am not much familiar with the technical differences between a vampire and ghost :P
DeleteI have also written short stories about vampires...you may check them out some day :)
I really liked it, specially the end. The last two lines did the trick for the story!
ReplyDeletehello isha....thanks for reading and appreciating ^_^
ReplyDeleteInteresting Read :D
ReplyDeletethanks anupam :)
ReplyDeleteGot here through IndiBlogger...
ReplyDeleteI liked this short fiction for its first two or three paragraphs. But it would have a greater impact if you followed up the erotica passages with a final line that revealed she is a ghost, instead of stating it way ahead in the narration...
Hope to read more of your work...
Thanks....would try to get better ....keep reading
ReplyDeleteWow... its was really an awesome read..!!
ReplyDeleteDifferent and passionate story... tricky end.. I must u r really gud at "twist at the end"...!! Well done
