A shiver ran down my spine

Standing alone on the curious platform
Searching for mom
Suddenly found a lady in red form

Slowly and yet slowly
She drew closer and closer

Her face was covered with veil
Her tinkling anklets were loud

When standing opposite to me
When asking something from me

My eyes noticed something
Her lower body was absent

My breath was stuck
My heart started beating fast

A shiver ran down my spine!

Suddenly my ear drum vibrated
It was my mother’s voice

I turned and looked back
My mother was there

When I turned to the front
The woman had disappeared

Who was she?
Was it an illusion?
