207 tenants attacked by 'lisa'

Cochin : Approximately around noon on thursday, 4th june 2009, the original tenants of 207, messrs suthin, vysakh and jazim were attacked by a strange creature that was hiding in the bookshelf residing in the bedroom. Suthin was the first victim to notice it's presence while studying, and informed vysakh who had to be brought back from slumberland and eventually did the same to jazim as well, who woke up the moment the news was known to him. this is reportedly the first time jazim had woken up from his sleep in a matter of mere seconds.

the creature looked like a cross between a snake and a lizard(hence the name 'lisa', devised by suthin). it had a long smooth body resembling a snake with feet that looked like it belonged to a lizard. this creature, that was black and brown in colour, was extremely fast and agile...one of the reasons that contributed to the utter fear the 3 tenants were experiencing.

hidden behind the books, the tenants resorted to removing the books one by one holding tools to defend themselves should the creature attack, namely suthin's sweeper, jazim's broom and vysakh's deodrant. sources suggest that vysakh perhaps intended to spray the deodrant into the eyes of the animal and distort its vision, but his true intentions in his weird choice for a weapon remain unclear.

after a long and gruelling process, the tenants managed to isolate lisa to one corner where it hid behind a single book. as the 3 tried to lure it away from that book, the creature ran to the other end of the shelf where, forgotten by the tenants, laid ANOTHER book and hid behind this. eventually the shelf was emptied and the floor cleared to give the animal space to move, while the clearly larger and more dangerous tenants shook in fear and contemplated their next move. smashing and splattering it all over was suthin's idea, but jazim and vysakh weren't in favour of cleaning carcass off the floor. thus they waited till lisa got out of the shelf. its sudden movement across the floor prompted suthin to recoil, vysakh to jump backwards on the bed and spray the deodrant blindly into the air and more hilariously, caused jazim to fly back so much that he clung onto the window grills like a monkey.

lisa neared the hole on the floor(which was suspected as the entry point), but paused at that point for several minutes as the tenants held their breath for its next move. it seemed as if to turn back and bid goodbye; but fortunately for them, it crawled through the hole. the hole is at present blocked with tape.

since this incident, lisa has become an instant hit. the tenants are however aware that this is just the first of many threats that they could face in the coming months as the rain pours down and dark creatures that are messengers of fear and despair, some even of death, seek shelter at 207. maybe they also have heard of the fun the humans were enjoying here, and wanted to be part of it.

this is vysakh reporting for 207 news.
