Summary

During a torrential monsoon, two brothers, Samu and Benu, visit their grandmother’s isolated village home. When they talk about fishing in the flooded fields, their grandmother warns them that spirits use the promise of fish to lure people into the darkness.

That night, their usually warm and boisterous Big Uncle, Harihar, arrives unexpectedly—soaked, silent, and carrying an enormous catfish. He refuses food, and the boys notice a foul smell coming from his room. They hear chewing in the darkness and later discover fish remains beneath his bed. The next morning, their grandmother finds the fish missing, while Harihar appears strangely fixated on the fishmonger’s basket.

The brothers stay awake the following night and catch a horrifying glimpse of “their uncle” in the kitchen: unnaturally tall and gaunt, tearing into raw fish. He heads into the flooded fields, where they watch him snatch and devour live fish before laughing in a way that sounds nothing like a human. When he spots them, they flee. The creature chases them to their door and calls them outside, promising to share the fish.

Just as they are about to obey, the old telephone rings. A familiar voice warns them not to open the door:

“That’s not me.”

Two days later, they learn that the real Harihar died from a lightning strike on his journey home—before the figure ever reached the house. The story ends with two chilling, unanswered questions: Who was the thing wearing his face, and who made the call that saved the boys?
