A Nightmare by Anastasiia Demianchenko

«I am always wandering
around here after my nervous job. What marvellous and captivating is a giant park on a fine autumn night! The tired leaves are whispering  a lullaby and calmly falling down on the ground. There is no noisy crowd and unlimited rush. The atmosphere makes me warm and fuzzy. No people, no troubles…».
«Jess, are you sure? … Can you see him?», Ann interrupted  me and direct a right trembling hand to the remote part of the path which was really a poor lighted.
«No ….  Who you're talking about ?», I answered quickly and in amazingly sounded note. 
«Just a minute, and you will indicate this figure. It is a ghost which was risen up from the depths of hell! I just feel like a different person, and I am slightly scared».
«Oh… Stop сrying, dear Ann… Since it's Halloween, I thought you might be wearing a costume like this young good – looking and smart man in a white a straitjacket. He is coming closer and you will consider his costume and make up», I said it with inner tranquillity.
«Yeah…. Hopefully, it was only my bright imagination. But how is he creative. Dishevelled blond hair,  bags under his eyes and dry lips are so naturally appeared ... And he's got this wild look in his eye like a wild animal….».
Laugh…
«The imago is perfect for the party. He looks like a  crazy person who  escaped from the insane asylum…..». 
***
One hour later I was sitting in the police station….
«Mrs Smith… What has happened later?», the inspector asked me strongly and seriously.
«After those phrase a scared stranger rapidly snatched his hands away from a straitjacket …. He  checked a garbage can and cracked a bottle over his head….. That man picked up a piece of glass… He held it to Ann’s neck…. and disappeared with my dear…. No… It is just a nightmare I couldn’t praise the madman who murdered my best friend».
