In a dark apartment some indistinct sound was heard . Then slowly that sound became louder and louder .

  DING. DONG.DING.DONG.DING.DONG .......WAKE UP BABBUN BUTTED LAZY ASS, OI RAT LEGGED SEVEN HOLED PIG .

  DING. DONG.DING.DONG.DING.DONG .......WAKE UP BABBUN BUTTED LAZY ASS , OI RAT LEGGED SEVEN HOLED PIG .

  DING. DONG.DING.DONG.DING.DONG .......WAKE UP BABBUN BUTTED LAZY ASS , OI RAT LEGGED SEVEN HOLED PIG .

  DING. DONG.DING.DONG.DING.DONG .......WAKE UP BABBUN BUTTED LAZY ASS , OI RAT LEGGED SEVEN HOLED PIG .

  When this sound became increasingly louder with the time , the man sleeping on the bed woke up .

  Shura woke up groggily from the bed and searched for the fucker who was making weird noises .

  He didn't find anyone , just when he was going to let it slide thinking the noise was just his imagination a mechanical female sound appeared in his head .

  ' Lights on . '

  All the lights in the apartment switched on automatically along with the sound .

  Shura stood up in shock . He thought someone was inside his house and that was with out his knowledge .

  He looked around in search of the sound but no avail , still couldn't find the culprit . He then thought maybe his ears and even his eyes were betraying him and showing him what is not even there , or so something like that .

  ' Look at your left . '

  He subconsciously turned his head to the left side . Then remembered he didn't opened his mouth nor did he uttered a single word at this time then whose voice was that ?

  He searched for the owner of the voice but still couldn't find it .

  Still he looked around , first time the sound he thought he misheard .

  But second time there couldn't be any mistake that this voice he was hearing was an illusion .

  Even if he looked inch by inch of every corner of the room , he still couldn't find the source of the sound .

  " On your left at the lamp stand , look at the parchment . " , said the voice again .

  " Who are you ? show yourself . Hey you bastard . "

  Shura couldn't find who was the voice belong to so he asked the owner to show himself in irritation .

  " The parchment , the scrolled parchment on the lamp side table , you moron . "

  The voice again sounded but this time in an angry tone , scolding Shura . Shura looked at the lamp side table which was beside his bed and to his surprise there was indeed a scrolled parchment laying .

  He walked up to the table , picked up the scroll .

  The scroll was cool to touch and looked like it was made up of dried animal skin .

  The scroll was 9.3 inches width and scrolled around about 4-5 times . It was of grey and brown color .

  He looked up and down , here and there of the scroll .

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  " Hey , where are you ? I have already picked up the scroll , now what ? Show your self . "

  Shura asked aloud to the empty space in the house .

  " I am the scroll braindead idiot . Where are you trying to find me ? I am the scroll parchment itself you fucking single brain celled primate , look down at the scroll . "

  After being scolded Shura looked towards the scroll and asked , " Are you the one talking to me all this time ?"

  A talking scroll huh ..

  Thought Shura .

  Listening to the disdainful tone he thought maybe the scroll was underestimating him and wasn't taking him seriously .

  " So , Mr. Talking scroll why are you here ? "

  " WHY AM I HERE ? "

  The scroll raised the volume of its speech a few decibel .

  " If not for me you would be on the way to become fertilizer . "

  " Umm ..... what ?! "

  " Sigh .. i am talking to a moron . " the scroll muttered silently .

  Although Shura was near it he didn't hear anything .

  " It means , you are going to die and i saved you . Well not entirely though ." the scroll said to Shura .

  " What do you mean i am going to die and what with that not entirely ? "

  Shura looked confused as he asked .

  " You Mr. came , in the hot summer noon ,that also having a sunstroke then immediately had a cold bath without any precaution . What do you think will happen to you ? "

  The scroll asked Shura pointedly .

  " What happened to me ? " Shura asked looking guilt , already imaging his condition at that time .

  " You had hypothermia , your body temperature declined rapidly and you were on the verge of death . If i was a little late you would be on your way to the underworld . "

  Shura face petrified and the whole body became stiff . He was utterly shocked as he thought that he was going to die if not for the scroll . Also he forgot at that moment , due to sudden change of body temperature alternatively the body will collapse , the knowledge that was taught in the 12th grade .

  He was very thankful to the scroll , although this thing was a weird talking animated object and a stranger to him , it still didn't let him die and saved him from the mouth of death monster .

  So when he looked at the scroll in his hand , his eyes softened a little more and filled with tenderness .

  " So you saved me ......., Thanks by the way . "

  When the scroll heard this , she looked at Shura with her conical vison .

  Although the scroll was an object , the spirit residing in it was a female in gender .

  And for it to had a spirit it or more specifically the spirit could see .

  When the scroll spirit saw Shura , she was astounded . She saw the shadow of a great being in the Shura just now .

  ' Even after all this you still retain your former instinct , you are truly great master ' ( inner thought of the scroll )

  " So where did you come come ? "

  After knowing that the scroll was his savior , his curiosity about the scroll which could talk raised .

  " I have been always here in your house after you bring from your parents house . "

  " I bought you here and you are from my parents ! Why don't i remember that ? "

  " The mahogany box idiot , i was in the mahogany box that you brought from the treasury of your parents . "

  After what the scroll said , Shura remembered the mahogany box he took to his apartment after his parents death 3 years ago .

  " So you are always with me , then why didn't you appear before me in the past ? "

  Shura expressed his doubt .

  " Because there was no need of me at that time . And now that you are in this condition i have to appear , as a form of necessity . "

  " My condition .., wait before you said you saved me but not entirely , is it because of this my condition is what it is now ? "

  Shura asked doubtfully .

  " Yes "

  " Then , what is my condition now ? "

  " When i came to save you , you were already dead . "

  " What ? But didn't you said ... " Shura interrupted abruptly .

  " Patience boy , so i tried to bring you back from death but due to lack of energy the process didn't complete and stopped half way through and you became a dead spirit possessing a dead body . "

  Shura couldn't digest all the things he heard . He took almost five minutes in silence to understand all of the information .

  " So i am now a neither a human nor a spirit . A half dead spirit . right ? "

  " Well , you could consider like that . "

  " Then what is it of to you as i became a half dead ghost . "
