Murphy entered her room, dragging her feet to the bed, the day had been endlessly tiring.
An odd sort of experience that they had, kept hovering over her brain.
Recapping the events again and again, she could feel the tightness in her chest again.
The man was holding a gun, he seemed to be a strong man with a heavy muscular body, running towards the battlefront trying to join the combat in front of his house, his bravery was unprecedented in the face of impending danger to him against a highly armed army of the opponents. He walked up at a certain distance and raised his arms, the gun in his hand.She could see a woman tripping and falling near the door and screaming after him, she probably didn’t want to let him go outside and join the fight, the screams in the air were maddening Murphy, she
“Wake up daughter”, Nanny spoke softly while opening the curtains, “It’s morning already, get up and make sure that your lazy brother is up too”.She opened her eyes into a morning, the sunlight was shining on her headrest, telling her to get up sooner.
The engine slowed down, as entering into the premises of the Museum, which didn’t seem like the one they saw on the flyer previously, there were no buildings of the old times, nor the sky touching minarets could be seen.Murphy still had that confusion in mind, wondering why would someone attach an irrelevant photo to make their job advertisement.She tried to see as farther as possible, to the extent that her vision allowed, but to her dismay, she couldn't find anything relevant.
“Here! Put your hands over here to get your identity scanned”, she indicated towards a scanning device.Sam took the lead and placed his hand over the red laser lights carefully, getting his hands to get scanned, the device came into life, saving his information from the prints of his hand, and beeped after getting that done.Sam backed of
The tumbledown condition of the maid's room was preserved as it is by the application of glass frames on it, clearly protecting it from the reach of visitors.The room was a small one, having a chair in the corner, which was also surrounded by a glass frame. The chair was weary one, eaten away by moths at places, broken at one of the handles. That was the only chair there, indicating the unavailability of it for the maids over there.It had a brief description of its presence over there by the side."There were many of the props over her to be displayed, we have sent few for preserving and others for getting framed", she cleared, "There were many belongings of them found over here, that would certainly make someone c
Murphy gasped at the sight of what was inside the coffin and backed off.Exactly the skeletal remains of a human as she read on the manuscript, covered over by some cloth below the waist,whole of the flesh had sloughed off over time, the orbits were empty of any eyes that used to be there.But there was something unordinary about the skeleton, it didn’t have any muscles or skin on her face to have any expressions made upon it, but still, it clearly looked like a frightened away remains!
They turned around to examine the room, which was spacious enough as compared to the one below it. It was having huge windows like spaces, from which the wood had probably been eaten off slowly over time, and it was dark inside it too.The windows opened into a terrace like space but which was covered over by sand up to some level, but the sand was hindering the view over, darkening the inside of the room.Hellion climbed up there swiftly like a squirrel climbing up the trees, joining them in a moment, breathing heavily."So, here we are. It is the attic of the royal maids. At least it appears like that of it. But the sandstorms here had probably shunned off the sun from over here. It's because of the sand over it', she was speaking against her heavy breathing, "We will soon be able to bring it to the surface, and then we may enjoy the view from here, as the royal maids did".She was too interested in the idea of making it the same place a
Murphy slowly recognized the presence of Sam and Hellion over there.His arm around her, holding her away from the floor, closely towards him, while Hellion was leaning over and examining her heartbeat.His face had got pale and anxious, his eyes locked upon her face, waiting for any response from her."Sam. . .", Murphy said in a low weak voice, "what happened to me? Why had I fallen?".Her chest pain was getting worse, and her head throbbing hard.They finally sighed with relief watching her getting into consciousness. Hellion pulled back and grabbed a bottle of water from her backpack instantly and helped her drink it sip by sip."Are you okay Murphy? Come drink some more water", Sam's voice was worried as he kept on inquiring.Murphy could feel some energy in her body coming back, she tried to sit on her own on the floor, while Hellion and Sam sat beside her."What happened to me?", she asked in a
