Bakshi Babu is a writer. He had written few books but none was a best seller. He lives in a small house in Kolkata. As a writer, Bakshi Babu always try to gather ideas by walking through the skinny streets at night. He believed that the night is the best time to do every creativity.
He is very much acquainted with his task because every night he goes out of his house in search of an idea which could help him write some new good stories and will also fulfill his dream of making his books a best seller. Bakshi Babu always carried a torch, pen, a tiny notebook and a packet of Charminar cigarets with him.
One night, he went out from his house in search of ideas. His house was situated at a very cozy locality where house were side by side placed in a row. The streets were skinny and lampposts were less, that was the reason why he carried a torch with him always. While he was passing by his beloved friend Ratan's house which was situated just ten minutes far from his house. He noticed a boy sitting under a tree, weeping. Bakshi Babu thought that the boy was lost so he decided to help the boy. He walked a few steps to the tree and asked the boy, "Are you lost son?" "What is your name?" "Hello!" The boy did not answer any of the question which were being asked by Bakshi Babu.
Bakshi Babu did not understand what to do now. It was late night and the boy was alone as well. He went close to the boy and asked him to look up. The moment the boy looked up Bakshi Babu was terrified and started running back towards his house. While running he was thinking, "How is that possible!!... The boy... the boy... did not have a single ounce of flesh. It was just a skull with popped out eyes and a hanging brain."
Bakshi Babu was running as fast as he could. When he was near his house he saw Ratan was standing in front of his main door. Bakshi Babu hurriedly reached to him and asked him to come inside. He was in a hurry to save his life from that flesh-less faced creature.
Seeing Bakshi Babu so much worried and terrified Ratan asked, "Bakshi, what happened?" "Why do you look so terrified?" And what did you just pulled me inside your house?" "What is the matter?".... "Did you just saw someone without mass or what?"
Bakshi Babu asked Ratan, "How do you know it?" Ratan smiled.
