Stop! You, Woman In Black

Stop! You, Woman In Black

On an unpleasantly freezing night when the bone-freezing current was blowing, a woman named Bianca, dressed in black, crossed the local cemetery while walking back home. As she passed the gates, she heard a sound. But she did not dare to turn around. The noise followed her, and then, at a great distance, she stopped to look back.
She could not see as it was a dark stormy night. She just noticed a man wearing shiny white clothes and a black jacket with a hood. He was coming down the road.
She started running, but she heard a man shouting something incomprehensible. She did not pay heed and continued to run as fast as she could. She was frightened.
Suddenly, she heard that man yell, "Bianca."
A shiver of fear ran down her spine. She got goosebumps and ran even faster than before.
She heard, "Stop! You, the woman in black."
The tone of the voice was startling.
She dared not stop and continued to run.
That man followed her to her house. In her haste, she forgot to close the door. She ran and hid in the bathroom. The person burst into the bathroom; she started throwing random things at him.
"You idiot, don't you even recognise your husband? I went to the pharmacy to get medicine for my sore throat. On my way back home, I saw you from far away. I tried to come near you, but you started running away like a mad dog and even dropped your cell phone there," that man (Bianca's husband) said.
