Darkroom Diaries : Whispers In the Fog
~Darkroom Diaries~ 3
It's raining outside.
Inside Raina's room, the candlelight flickers, casting long shadows.
She asleep at her desk-head on the table and charcoal dust on her fingers.
The painting she made tonight.

Disha | Raina's best friend
Nightmare again?
Disha | Raina's best friend
Oof, you look someone kept you up all night.
Raina Mitra | FL
No....
It felt real.
He was outside my window, Disha.
Disha | Raina's best friend
Babe, I told you call the police. Or maybe...an exorcist?
Raina Mitra | FL
(Quietly)
What if I don't want him to leave?
Disha | Raina's best friend
What....?
Why didn't you want to get out of that situation?
Raina Mitra | FL
I don't know...
(thinking)
[ College's Stodio Hall ]
She sets up her canvas.
Halway through her strokes--
A strangers enter her room.
Tall. Dark. Clam.
Wearing the same scarf she saw two nights ago. He walks past silently but pases near her canvas.
Unknown Person
Nice hands. You paint with your soul.
Raina Mitra | FL
*( She looks up, their eyes lock. Her heart skips-but not in fear.)*
Unknown Person
*( He smile faintly )*
We will meet again Raina.

So....you saw me.
Raina Mitra | FL
Why now? Why you Show up like this ?
Unknwn person
Because you finally remember my eyes.
The ones you closed... in the fire.
Raina Mitra | FL
What fire? Stop speaking in riddles !
Unknwn person
You painted the truth long before you lived it. And now you're painting me again.
That means...
We're close.
She Stares at the half finished canvas. Her brush trembles slightly as if unsure were to move next.
Raina Mitra | FL
(In her mind, The strangers voice echoes : “Nice hand, you paint with your soul. ”)
Raina Mitra | FL
(murmurs to herself)
Why do your words feel like I have heard them before ?
Why do yours eyes haunt my dreams...and now my days?
📱[ Phone Vibrates-Unknown ]
Unknwn person
Still thinking of me, artist ?
You look beautiful when you hesitate with your brush.
Raina Mitra | FL
(typing)
Where you really at my college?
Or am I just lousing my mind?
Unknwn person
You found me again.
That's all the matters. Now paint me like you did before... in that other life.
Raina Mitra | FL
*(Her fingers freeze on the screen.)*
Other life?
The candle flickers in reverse. Shadow warp around her, she sees a blurred version of herself in an old, vintage mirror-dressed differently.
In the background the same man from her painting, Standing closer... his hand over her heart.
Man in reflection :
You promised me a painting before the flames took us.
[ Suddenly everything goes dark. ]
[ Scene : Raina Wakes up-Sweating ]
She gasps, looks at the clock - 3:33 AM.
Canvas beside her now has... a faint outline of two hands almost touching.
She didn't paint that.
Raina Mitra | FL
(whispers)
This... is't possible...
[ Phone Vibrates
Again-Unknown ]
Unknwn person
Keep painting.
I'll find my way back to you... fully.

*(Notice Raina zoning out)*
Disha | Raina's best friend
Hello? Raina... what's with your face ?
Raina Mitra | FL
(quietly)
Have you ever felt like...your hands remember someone your mind doesn't?
Disha | Raina's best friend
(slowly)
Okay. That's officially creepy poet territory. You need sleep or coffee. Or maybe an exorcism.
Disha | Raina's best friend
Don't you think so anymore.
You're becoming more and more like this day by day.
[ Back At Home -That Night ]
Raina pulls out all her old sketchbooks.
One of them has a half-finished face....the same sharp jaw, gentle eyes.
But the date says : 3 years ago.
Raina Mitra | FL
*(She drops the book.)*
