BLEEDING! |
|
My grandmother came
to London in the mid 1970s. Luckily for them, the council flats that they
had lived in had other Bangladeshi families living there. New to the
country and language, these families stuck together and looked out for one
another.
The flat on level
below my grandmother was occupied by on of these families. At the time of
this story, the woman in the flat below was pregnant, she already had two
younger sons and one older one called Jaqir. Jaqir and his father both
worked in restaurants, and some nights if it got too late they would stay
on the restaurant premises, as the owners of the restaurants were all
Bengali. This meant that Jaqir's mum and and her two children were often
alone in the flat. The morning of the incident, my grandmother was spending the whole morning with Jaqir's mum whilst all the children were at school. The next that my grandmother saw her was very early the next morning, before Fajr Namaaz, when one of her sons came crying to my grandmother's flat and started knocking on the door, crying that his mother was bleeding.
It was only
afterwards that the full story was told. As they were all alone in the
flat, Jaqir's mum and the two small children all slept in one bed. Very
late at night, the lady felt she needed to use the toilet, so she rushed
out of the bedroom to the toilet. In her hurry and after seeing that the
hallway light was on, she left the door to the toilet open and didn't
bother turning the toilet light on. (They say that all spirits shy away
from fire or light) Anyway, she sat down on the toilet and began to pee
when, from directly behind her, she felt something immensely heavy fall
onto her back.
Instinctively she
turned to look. She saw a man who was already sitting on their toilet, who
had lunged forward so that his weight fell on her back and his arms and
legs dangled side by side her arms and legs. She screamed - and as the
door was already open got off the toilet and ran out to her room. She miscarried shortly afterwards. Well, you know what happens after that.
Wow! Wowowowowow! This is a WAY creepy story! I mean, imagine, there you are, using the toilet when someone FALLS on you from BEHIND you no less! Sheesh! A little privacy please?! What's sad is that the lasy miscarried because of this. :( Anyways, great story, thank you! :) |
