The Noisy Ghost
"Oh no! It is a power cut." Tania heard Nisha exclaim. Of
course, that is what it was, Tania thought. Silly me. My
imagination sure got the better of me. Tania fumbled in the
dark kitchen looking for plates and cucumbers. It was only
4:00 p.m., but the sky was overcast with dense grey clouds
and not a shred of sunlight made it through.
When Tania returned with the plates and cucumbers, she heard
Nisha telling everyone, "They often cut the power when there
is flooding to prevent short circuits and electrocution.
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity, you see."
Nisha had turned on a few candles. The flames were
flickering and the moving shadows gave the room a ghostly
appearance.
