The Hunted Playground

Our protagonist, Rohan, was swinging on a swing in the park when suddenly the seesaw tilted to the other side. He thought the seesaw had been positioned incorrectly, causing it to move. However, he soon noticed that the swing beside him had also moved slightly. Assuming it was just a windy day, Rohan paid little attention—until a transparent boy appeared on the swing. Alarmed, Rohan jumped off his swing and ran away, but the ghostly boy was already standing before him. This park had a dark past. A family had once lived near the park, and they had two sons: Raju and Rahim. One day, while playing in the park, the two brothers were surrounded by a gang of older kids who began to bully them. At first, the bullies just poked them with sticks, but then things escalated to physical violence. Rahim managed to protect himself and ran away, but Raju was a little weaker than Rahim and was left behind. The boys caught up to Raju and started beating him. He was beaten till he bled. He started to bleed a lot because of the injuries he got, which caused his death. Many people say that the park at night cries and a boy roams around the park. As Rohan was new this place didn’t know this. Now back to the present. Rohan screamed for help and tried to get out of the park. Nobody came to help, poor Rohan got beaten badly with a swollen face. When he reached home his mother asked him what had happened to him and did he get those bruises on your body. Rohan told everything to his mother. His mother told him not to go to that park again. Mother also told that in a few days, they will shift to a new place where the atmosphere is not so negative. That night Rohan’s mom heard noises from the kitchen and after that the next morning Rohans family wasn’t alive. The rest is mystery.
