THE NIGHTMARE LANDSCAPE




THE NIGHTMARE LANDSCAPE
Patrick is a middle class working man who works at a factory which is located at the Far East outside Juba town. While venturing his way to the factory, he usually   sees a tall, majestic colorful house with no one inside. He has always been curios to find out what this house has in it and whose house it was.

 There was no wind, no cloud, just sub zero temperature. He drove his car down the long stretch of a road as he was doing some sight seeing of the winter leaves. The roads were just narrow with seemingly no life; finally he arrived at his destination. He parked his black car and hoped out of the car.

The house shocked him more at a close range. It   was one of the finest things he had ever seen in his entire life. The window panes glimmered from the gate and the door was made from woods from the most wanted trees in Amazon. Curiosity stroked his nerves and he was more in a hurry to see what was inside the house. As he walked majestically to the main entrance, he realized that it was too quiet. But this did not stop him from entering inside the house.

Patrick lifted the door clap and in a blink of an eye, he found himself in a room and the door behind was shut. The house had long grass with crumpled yellow birch and he saw more than twenty grave yards from a distance. Nothing could have prepared him for what he saw. He felt a cold shiver all over his body. His legs were stuck in one position and he could not move. As minutes ticked by, drops of water were pouring down on him and this made him more frightened.

He stood and peered at the top wondering if a twisted head person would crawl down and have him for dinner. Patrick summoned strength and tiptoed away from that room trying to find an exit door. But the room was just going round and round and at the end he found himself at the same position he was last in.

Finally he found a door but it was not giving way easily. He struggled to open this door. A howl echoed throughout the house. The door clap opened and he ran outside the house, into his car and drove away. It was the most frightening experience he has ever been in. He promised himself not to venture into any strange houses in future.
