Submitted to Contest #3 in response to the prompt: 'A stranger comes to your door. What happens next?'

It was the city of Mumbai and day of Sunday and time of evening. I was having fun with my friends and it was my friend's birthday,we all were having fun at home. When I went back to my home I found that all the lights were closed and my family was not there as they also went to someone's marriage anniversary then I turned the lights on and went to my bed. Suddenly I heard the bell of my house. Then I went to the door and opened it . There was a man standing whom I don't know,his face was covered with a mask and he asked me to charge his phone then I gave him the permission and he entered my house.

When he entered my house he was wearing a black jacket and a red scarf and when I came back by putting his phone on charging he was wearing a green jacket and blur scarf but his face was still covered.I was fully terrified.
Then he started asking me some questions about my family that where we are actually from and from how many years we are living in Mumbai. I was answering but I was still horrified. Then he asked me to show my family album to him then I went to take my family album but when I came back he was not there then I started looking for him everywhere then I went to see his phone it was still charging but I was not able to find that man then suddenly I heard something from the kitchen side then I found that man in the kitchen then I took him to the living room of my house. When I asked his name he changed the topic and started talking about the album but I noticed one more thing that his voice tone changed and now it was an hoarse voice. We continued talking and I forgot about the time it was late night 12:30 . He was looking here and there like he was finding something. Suddenly the lights went. I told him to stay on his place only then I went to bring the candles.

When I came back with the candles the lights started blinking like our eyes and again he was not on his place then I was in doubt that is he a real human being. Then I went upstairs to look for him but he was not anywhere. Then I went to the terrace then I found that he was walking in the graveyard near my house and he was not wearing any jacket of scarf as it was the time of January it was 6 degree Celsius outside and the man was just wearing a half t-shirt and a pant and when I called him he didn't listen then I went to take him as I thought he is doing a prank with me but I was horrified to go to the graveyard as it was a full moon day. But I went with some courage but he suddenly disappeared from there I ran from there ane came back to my house and the man was sitting there. My mind was blank after looking him there. Then he asked me to give him his phone but before that he wanted to explore my house. I gave him the full tour but I was still trying to know something about him but whenever I start asking about him he everytime change the topic then after sometime I gave his phone back and then I asked him for a cup of tea he said okay then I went to the kitchen to make some tea I was feeling so much sleepy but while the tea was getting ready I washed my face till the time the tea got ready I went back to him but he w sleeping on the couch but because of some crackling sound he woke up. Then I gave him the tea he drinked very fast but I was still drinking as it was too hot. Still he was not telling me anything about him . He wanted to go to the terrace so I completed his wish and I took him to the terrace he was walking and he was only looking to the graveyard and saying nothing. He asked me that let's play hide-n-seek I agreed but by the time we were playing we heard something like breaking of glass or something we went to see that what happened and where happened but we didn't found anything we searched everywhere but nothing happened so we started the game it was first my turn to find him I searched everywhere but I didn't found him anywhere he disappeared without telling anything about him. It was a horrible night for me but I finally slept and when I woke up next morning my family was at home and then I felt some happiness.
