The Spot

Unlike the other public green parks, however, this particular land belonged to the Boys and Girls Club, a national nonprofit organization. This organization funds after-school programs that are majorly conducted for young people to improve their skills. Martha knew the place. This wasn’t the first time she has come to this place, but this time, it was different. Something was bothering her. She thought she might be feeling this may be because she was alone. Her gut feeling was telling her to not go to in there. Shrugging off the feeling she moved in.

Inside The Property

It seemed like there was no one there in the property. Usually, you could spot kids there, but that day the whole place was in a completely silent zone. She was wrong! As she moved further, she saw someone inside the building. She didn’t pay much attention to it as she was in a hurry to go back to the house and prepare dinner for her family. According to her grandson, she used to make a salad consisting of dandelions mixed with garlic and lemon that was common in her ancestral homeland. She wasn’t prepared for this though.

A Shadow

With a kitchen knife in her hand, she was picking up dandelions. She could tell that there was someone inside the building, even though, it seemed like the building was empty. Again, she didn’t think much of it. Maybe, it was the security guard, she thought. She kept herself busy with the work she came for in the first place. She should have paid attention to her surroundings because what happened next was something unexpected for an 87-year-old woman.

Unknown Noise

Being an 87-year-old is a difficult age. Along with age, several problems also tag along. One might experience loss of eyesight or hearing or weakness and several other problems like these that come with the old age. Martha had a problem with her hearing. The same problem led her midst of a crisis. She wasn’t expecting to see herself in the situation she was in. 

The Silence Of The Property

As we have already told you the building in which Martha was picking up the dandelions belonged to Boys and Girls Club. Martha was sure that she saw a shadow, but whose shadow was it? She had no clue. She didn’t even care because she has been here before. When you have visited a place for several times you get aware of the surroundings and people, right? But, then who’s shadow did Martha see?

Should I Investigate?

Martha thought that she should just go inside the building and see herself who the person was. But then she was already getting late and there was so much for her to do back at the house. She had to prepare dinner for the family. She thought that it would hardly take a minute or so to see who the person was and then she would just be back to her business. She shouldn’t have done that.
