Clap Clap

Ankit was having a trek in the jungle. After some time, he got lost. It was almost dark and he began to lose the hope to find a way out. So he decided to spend the night in the jungle and started to find a safe place to build a shelter. After walking some distance, he found an old abandoned house, surrounded by bushes and trees. He checked for any living creature inside but found that empty. He decided to spend the night in the house.

At the night, Ankit lit fire in a living room area. He was about to spread his sleeping bag, suddenly he heard a sound outside;

CLAP CLAP

Ankit took a look outside from the window, but there was nothing out there. He was about to be back at his sleeping place, he heard the sound again,

CLAP CLAP

The sound came from the bushes, few meters away from the house. It was pitch black out there and tony could not see anyone. Ankit began to get panicked, he could not decide whether the person outside is a friend or foe.

“Hello! Is anybody there?”, Ankit asked.

CLAP CLAP

No answer, just the clapping sound. This time, the sound came from a little closer. Ankit could not understand what was happening; He began to shiver with fear. Gathering his voice together, he asked again,

“Is that your house?”

CLAP CLAP

This time, the sound came from the backdoor. Ankit was scared to death by now. He sat at the corner of the room, shivering. Out of his agony; he yelled,

“What do you want?”

CLAP CLAP

This time, the sound came from the room next door. Ankit was extremely scared by now. He couldn’t move or speak, like he’s been paralyzed. At this point, he figured out that every time he says something, the sound comes closer and closer. So he decided to keep quiet this time. He stared at the door to the next room, which was open and room was pitch black. He stared at there for a long time, but could not see anyone or anything. Eventually; he went to sleep.

Next day; when the daylight began to show, Ankit woke up and looked at the room. He gathered some courage and entered in that room; but he found nothing in there. Taking a sigh of relief he turned to go back, just then he saw something in the corner of the room. There were some muddy footprints on the floor. There was something written with a coal on a corner of the wall. It read, ‘LUCKY BASTARD’.
