Ghost Chasing A Wanted Prisoner: An Unknown Horror Story

Introduction: 

"In an ancient kingdom where the darkness of tyranny and malice prevailed, expecting justice was only a fantasy.In ancient times when kings and emperors ruled, criminals were given strange and harsh punishments according to their crimes. 

This is about those days when heinous criminals were given terrible punishments for their crimes. During the punishment, this scene was shown to other prisoners, seeing which their soul trembled.

During this time, whatever prisoners saw this scene, they started praying to God in their hearts for the forgiveness of their sins and were caught while trying,

unsuccessfully to escape from that hell-like prison. Any prisoner who was caught doing such an act was, killed right there in front of everyone.This rule remained the same for a long time." 

A horrible punishment was prescribed for anyone who dared to go against the king.

When there were kings and queens they were always in command and did not need anyone's approval, criminals on the other hand were punished in a way that sent shivers down people's bones. There were underground prisons in which people were thrown, and not only were they imprisoned, but were also crushed in many ways.

This story reflects the time when those who committed crimes were given their punishment in public, their suffering being a deterrent message to other potential criminals. Looking at their number, some of the prisoners included a man named "Daud" he was a thief and the leader of a gang of fugitives throughout the kingdom. But, eventually, fate betrayed him and one day, accused of disobeying the king's orders and stealing precious woods from the king's alchemist, he was locked up in the king's terrible prison, where he faced an unknown punishment. Because David's spirit was indomitable, lying in the dust he imagined freedom, but in the worst darkness he found an unknown punishment.

The first night:

Daud's cell was a small room; cold, damp and underground, with only a ray of light seeping through the stone walls. His wrists and ankles were bound in iron shackles that chafed at the skin on his body. The distant screams, from which no one had escaped, brought horrific memories to these corridors and echoed with human suffering on the walls.

On the fifth night, Daud lay awake and the guards kept talking about him, their voices full of both fear and curiosity. They kept talking about his punishment, describing it with great excitement:- "he would be taken to the other prisoners, to show him what happens to those who rebel"! The above made Daud's chest pound, he had to get out of there before something worse than death happened to him.

When he was in the dark, his thoughts were very active. He blinked and focused on the darkness; the iron bars on his wrists were beginning to rust. He began to rub the metal chains on the stones very carefully, as only an experienced criminal might do, and as he scratched he prayed for release.

The Escape attempt:

When Daud was rubbing the iron chain on the stone, he found a hammer and chisel under the stone which had been left there by some worker during the construction of the prison. 

Then he struggled for days to break the chains with the hammer and chisel and finally succeeded. At night he quietly but cautiously passed through one corridor after another. There were faint lines on the walls which the other prisoners had tried to scratch themselves. David calmed his fear and with each attempt he became more daring.

And then as he advanced, the atmosphere changed. The cold grew and the cold gripped him, there was a kind of emptiness above the cell; no sound. He saw some unknown shadows which he could see and which coiled like snakes, waiting to attack and wrap their evil around others. He stood firm, but the disgusting sensation was always with him, hovering over him like a ghost which watched and followed all the movements of the man.

The moment he did so, it was distant, almost inaudible but it was there - real. "Daud...Daud...!" The voice was soft and sweet, but there was something dangerous about it. His heart was beating fast. he had been told about the prison ghost, 

The spirit of a prisoner who had died trying to escape. It was claimed that this ghost was waiting to take revenge on anyone else who tried to follow this ill-timed move.

The First Meeting:

Daud ran forward into the labyrinth like tunnels, trying to ignore the voices. But the voice was getting louder and it seemed to be getting more terrifying, it echoed through the corridors. "You can't run away... You will stay here, with us forever...!"

It seemed like in the blink of an eye a nightmare-like shadow had appeared at the other end of the hall. Daud suddenly stopped his movements and his breath caught in his throat. 

The figure was frail and sickly; however, his eyes were very sharp. It was the ghost of a man who was trembling in pain in the chains that bound his limbs, his neck bearing the bloody marks of the torture he had endured under the charge of his new master.

The ghost opened his creaky eyes and stared at Dawood, then he slowly started walking towards Dawood. Dawood ran in the opposite direction, his boots scraping against the floor making a slippery sound in the cold empty space. While he was doing so, the spirit followed him with its cold skeletal appearance, though it was getting closer to him every moment.

A Desperate Run:

Daud ran through endless corridors and with every step the ghost's voice grew louder, he had never experienced something so scary before, he was running in fear. The shadows of death were hovering around him, making him run around in fear and when he reached a dead-end he saw the same ghost, smiling evilly at him.

After a desperate run Daud reached a very large room where the corpses of many prisoners were rotting who had been killed in the dungeon. The dungeon smelled of death and a feeling of fear filled his mind. Just when he thought he was free to escape, the ghost suddenly appeared and fixed his burning gaze on him.

"You can't leave," he whispered, his voice echoing off the four walls of the room. The ghost says, "We are bound to this place, and now, you too."

Daud kept his distance from the mad ghost, but the ghost pounced on him, touched him with its cold hands and made him feel pain from head to toe. For a moment he felt as if his soul had been pulled out from within him. it seemed as if the ghost wanted to take him with it and make him part of the prison.

Final Confrontation:

He tried again to spread his arms to push Daud away, but with a sudden surge of strength the ghost recoiled and fled again in the face of Daud's resistance.

Daud struggled to a corner of the room, gasping for breath. But he could not hide himself from the ghost; the ghost pursued Daud again, his eyes glowing in the darkness. Finally,Daud invoked every prayer he had in his memory, muttering words of protection and mercy to the gods. But then the ghost began to laugh and his voice was so full of hate that Daud trembled. "Mercy?" he sneered. "There is no mercy here. There is only justice here."

For the last time, Daud picked up a sharp stone from the ground and pricked his palm, causing his palm to bleed. He spread the blood on the ground to create a line between himself and the ghost. Not expecting this to stop him at all, the ghost stopped chasing Daud and for a moment, the ghostly body staggered slightly in front of him, and then the ghostly eyes stared blankly at the ground, showing only the ghost's pain and sadness.

Ignoring the bodies lying in the middle of the dungeon, the ghost whispered one last thing. "Remember this, Daud. I have justice. Anyone who tries to escape from here will lose their life." And with that the ghost disappeared, leaving Daud alone, trembling in the darkness.

Result:

Daud somehow managed to escape from the dungeon, he used a path that had not been used for a long time and which led to the outskirts of the kingdom. However, the freedom he got, 

also brought with it the last statement of the ghost. But wherever he went, the ghost remained with him, although he remembered the prison from which he had escaped. He started having nightmares at nights and during the day he started seeing the shadows of the ghost, which almost grabbed him.

Years passed, and no matter how hard  Daud tried to keep himself away from the ghost of that prison, the ghost's prophecy proved to be true. One dark night when he was going somewhere alone through a village, the road was deserted, there was no one to be seen around, then suddenly he found himself trembling, and heard a whisper. Daud! Today the vessel of your sins is full..!

After that night Daud was never seen again.!

Moral:

Daud's story shows that no one can escape the hand of the law. It may be hidden somewhere at the bottom of the heap, but our actions have a tendency to come back to haunt us. Ultimately the only freedom that is truly worthwhile is to recognise that some things are wrong and that doing them is wrong.
