Summary

Thirteen years ago, Kanav Banerjee came home to the mutilated body of his son, Ahil. Disturbed by the inexplicable and chilling nature of the crime, he decided to move to Bombay. Before leaving, Kanav made sure his multi crore estate would be taken care of by his honest housekeeper, Devak Malakar.

Thirteen years later, the year is 1968. Devak's brother, Bipin, decides to travel to Darjeeling with his troop of teenage scouts. During their short visit to the Himalayan town, Devak graciously allows them to rest within the comfort of the Banerjee Estate. While the man's kindness is top notch, he makes one thing off limits - the second floor of the home....the floor with Ahil's room.

It turns out, Devak had kept a secret from Kanav Banerjee. A secret that has been eating at his soul for the last 13 years.

He knows how Ahil died.

Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence that some may find disturbing. It is a piece of fiction, and parts of it edge into the genre of extreme horror. Reader discretion is advised.
