Story Based on Image Contest: The Gate - "Again" - Sabari Valli Shankar

I was jogging for almost 4 years without changing my way one day. I think that day was a foggy Sunday I saw a old man doing exercises he saw me and I put a small smile on my face. He again smile and said why should you try a new path? I was like what? I asked him why are you telling me this? He replied that he is been jogging for almost 7 years every day I am seeing you you are going in a same path. I replied him that why can't you come and join? And I can bet you that you will show some new paths to me. He accepts my proposal and he joins with me he takes a wild path there is lot of sharp stones and large bushes covering the other side I asked him why this path? He smiled and said flowers are not needed in jogging. You need wild,tough paths so that you can strengthen your legs and believe me next day you will feel great. I also accepts it with half heart. I think this is enough, I said to the old man with fast breathing and I stopped jogging and I said I am going home he said no! Just few turns then you came go. I asked why few more turns? He replied me that you can complete a mile. I replied him with a surprise did we jog nearly for a mile. Yes! He said the. I started to jog slowly he jogged fastly and he gone into the fogs even I followed him. He was standing near a small door. Once I reach him I asked did we reach a mile. He fearly replied "no we reached your dead body" I was shocked,I ran to see that yes! That is me but the dress I am wearing is yesterday's I am telling those to the old man. He ran off by asking help. He is screaming. He found a policeman near a road tea shop, he ran to him and said with a fear "there is a dead body and I saw a ghost. The police man throws the cup away and he and the tea shop ran following old man. yes! There is a dead body of man. The old man " asked did you see I am there dead I am on the walls.
