The broken clock
starts whispering, when am
working the night shift alone tonight.
I then suddenly get collapse and observe
my each parts speaking with itself.
I hear someone breaking the
window faraway, yet the
pieces fall on my head !

-

Am tired with these plants,
I grow in my garden.
It didn't crave for water.
All I give is some powdered bone and
fresh blood, to inhale the aroma of its blossom.
And this time am tired to ramble for
red fluid. I almost extracted
from each, I know.

With all these thoughts, when am working
the night shift alone tonight.
I smell the rustic whiff
of my colleagues, who nourished
my plants, once !

-

Corse smells awfully addictive to that diener
while working the night shift
alone tonight, after ingesting few.

-

It was only me who
was busy scribbling
on the brand new notepad,
vomiting all the night shift work
and the flickering tube light
screeching the pain out
on my bloodshed corpse.

I again missed my deadline and had to stay back with leftover food and incomplete project reports. Everyone knew I was the punctual one and still got a stay back. Sometimes I blame fate or being hypnotized by someone for committing such blunders. Everyone left along with the boss, the clerk and my bestie too. I started typing and I could hear nothing but only the tak-tak of my own keyboard. It was going to be a long night, I suppose. I ate some chips along, and the noise of chur-chur chips intruded my focus. I got up and went to take a cup of coffee along with the tasteless chips. I returned with bru and I couldn't see my chips on my desk. I kept the cup on my desk and bent down to see whether I fell them. I flashed some mobile light but I couldn't see them. Nothing around. It was strange. I got up and sat on my kinky chair which made a horrific sound, I couldn't see my cup on the desk. The events one after the other stunned me when all of a sudden I hit my leg with something on the floor. I flashed my mobile again. My goosebumps were rising like the thorns until I could see my blood loathed dead body lying down on the floor.

Who that might be? I am working the late night shift alone tonight to finish the pending work,
And clock says it was 1 am!
Knock knock! Again that sound! Who that is?
No one is there outside the door! What the hell! My mind is playing with me?
And then my body freezes! I can't believe what I am seeing now!
A shadow crawling out from my laptop
And hisses at me,"I want to play, your friends don't play anymore,
All works and no play, makes you a dull boy! So will you play? Will you?"

The Sixth Watchman
Of Our Building
Was There
Busy In His Duty
Working The Night Shift
Alone ,All Alone That Night
Staring At The Hoardings
Yawning Again And Again ..
I Crawled Under His Chair
Grabbing His Head
Tilted Right ..
He Shouted "Aaahh "
And I Calmed My Apetite

-

Am Here Again
Working The Night Shift Alone Tonight
To Take Care And Caress
My Hubby Without Any Fright..
Discoloration Of His Hunter-hits
Are All Over My Back
Am Busy Again In Making His Fav Dish
While Packing The Rest Placing On The Rack..
The Endearing Face Of The Missing Boy
Is Already Dipped In Oil
The Fire Will Be Caught Soon
With Our Blending, Without Any Foil ..
I Can Smell The Smoke Now
Our Favourite Dirtiest Smell
I Will Serve And He Will Feed Us
Again To Rise In Love Well..

Used to wait alone in the platform, yes I saw her every time. Often thought of talking to her, "Hi, I was working the night shift alone tonight and I saw you here.." but my shyness prevented me. Yeah couldn't say the words! And that day, when I reached station she suddenly appeared and asked, "Will you help me?" I nodded somehow!
I felt her cold lips on my lips, and then everything went dark! Next day my lifeless body was found in platform, but I wasn't dead, I was trapped inside that beautiful lady's body,
Yes, lady with the coat! Waiting for somone, to trap him and be free again, just like she did!

Working the night shift alone tonight, he put his eyes on those display screens. He felt sleepy after dinner. So far the systems are performing well, he thought. The factory looks like a mystery at night. He didn't know, when he fall asleep, untill a cold hand pressed his shoulder tightly. "Man, you can't sleep in your duty time. These systems are for defense of our country, you can't compromise!". A middle aged man was standing there. "Oh, sorry Sir, I thought I was alone, I am from R&D Dept.", He said. "I am from production." Both sat together to check the systems.

After the morning 6 O' clock siren, the security guard came to check, looking at the open door. He didn't see anyone inside, who opened the door at night, this has to be reported, the guard thought. That department was locked since the fire blast accident of last week.
