New Orleans , 1928......

Amelia Sorrens was amazed by the wonders of technology that had advanced over the ages when she was a little kid in the backyard of her mother's tiny apartment . She had been taught from the very beginning that it was her duty to be courteous towards men , and maintain her distance . Now a young and ravishing woman of 27, she couldn't help but notice the charms men threw at her even at a first glance . She enjoyed it , but knew her boundaries . It was a family tradition after all , wearing a veil to cover your face while in the presence of men , and she would follow her family customs blindly , secretly wanting to break free of these shackles .  

It was the First World Age after all , and many women had achieved success in many fields , so why couldn't she ? Tomorrow was the valentine's dance at her school where she taught and she had made up her mind that she would go at all costs . Edward was going to be there as well . Edward Jennings was the only decent person who hadn't hit on her till now and she considered him as her comforter in tough times. And since recently she had begun to develop feelings for this young maths teacher . On the day of the dance , she decided to look her best , thinking about telling Edward how she felt about him . She parked her car at the gate of the school and as usual , carried the veil with her in her purse .

 Along with the teachers , many students had arrived there as well . Teenagers dancing to the latest tunes and singing along with other teachers made the atmosphere a little bit light . Amelia looked everywhere for Edward but he was nowhere to be found . "If you don't mind ma'am , may have this dance with you ?" , a voice from behind her spoke . She turned around to see it was one of her students , Michael West . "Michael , you are looking so good today . Of course I'll dance, it'll be my pleasure ." Amelia donned her veil and went with him. After a while Michael asked her to meet him by the grove behind the school saying he wanted to discuss something important . Amelia went there but didn't see anyone .

 Someone suddenly grabbed her hand from behind and pulled her towards him . "Michael what do you think you're doing ?" shouted Amelia . "The thing I've wanted to do for a long time now Amelia ." he said . "That's Ms.Sorrens to you young man ! You are my student , this is wrong ! Let me go this instant ! " , she shouted . Michael grabbed her veil and threw it on the ground . He pushed her on the ground and in the struggle , she caught hold of his jacket's button which ripped off and fell somewhere . Michael , in a fit of rage , grabbed a nearby rock and smashed Amelia's head with it and she died instantly .

 "Oh my god ! What have I done ! " said Michael and ran off . Amelia's body was found the next morning in the river nearby , her face unrecognizable due to being disfigured by the rock . The case stayed in the headlines for a while but then eventually became nothing but an old case file , lying in the section of unsolved cases . Michael was never the same after this incident . He dropped out of school , stayed indoors , didn't eat or sleep . Then one day , without a trace , he disappeared . Nobody ever saw Michael West since . Only thing that was found the night he disappeared was a black veil and a button on his bed ..........

Presently ......

Andrew had just woken up from the little sleep he had gotten last night . He still couldn't get the message out of his mind that he had gotten on his phone . What did that box and this text mean ? "Andrew come on let's go you'll be late for work . It's your first day today ." said Emma from the kitchen . Andrew got out of his bed and got ready for work . He quickly finished his breakfast and they both left for work . Andrew first dropped Emma at her office and then made his way to WebCom . The New York branch of WebCom was a huge multi-storey building with a great IT software park nearby . Andrew forgot all the events of last night as he was filled with excitement. 

His dream was finally coming true . He entered his office on the 15th floor where the Programming Department had its niche . "Hi there ! You must be Andrew . My name is Amanda Greene . I'm the Vice President of WebCom Pvt Ltd . Everybody , meet the newest addition to our family , please welcome Mr.Andrew West , he'll be your Head Programmer . I want you all to let him know who you are by the end of today . " said Amanda and showed Andrew to his cubicle . Andrew , without wasting any more time , started working . People would come and go , introduce themselves , congratulate him and then leave . But Andrew just kept working . At lunchtime , a man approached him and said , "Hey Andrew , I'm George Lewis. Buddy, if you're going to do all this work then the boss will bust our ass for taking it easy . Come on , its lunchtime , let me introduce you to some of the guys . " said George and led Andrew to the cafeteria .

 The cafeteria was bustling with co-workers discussing latest topics , some smoking and the others enjoying a good meal . At the table where George was sitting , Andrew noticed someone familiar . "Oh I see you two know each other . Mr. Warren , have you met our new Head Programmer ?  Andrew , this is Mr.Robert Warren , he's the manager of our department here . So what'd I miss fellas ?" said George . All the while Andrew just kept staring at Robert , with a blank look . "Mr.Warren here was just telling us about the existence of the supernatural ." said one of the guys at the table . "Oh that is just bullshit fellas ,ghosts don't exist."said George . "Yes they do Mr.Lewis . The art of the seance proves it so . The existence of the Ouija boards are for that very purpose . To make contact with the realm of the dead." , replied Robert.

 " Ghosts are not real, like Santa Claus you know. Bunch of horseshit made up to scare kids into brushing their teeth at night, nothing more ." said George . "And on what basis are you making this statement Mr.Lewis ?" asked Robert, in a slightly angered tone . "I'm sorry sir I didn't mean to offend you . It's just that I've never seen one , and according to me , seeing is believing . The day I see one , I'll start believing myself and let the others know too. " replied George . All the while Robert kept staring at Andrew , and while looking at him responded with something which Andrew would never be able to forget easily . Looking at Andrew , Robert replied in a very monotonous and serious voice , "The day you see one , Mr.Lewis , I'm afraid you won't be alive to tell the tale .".........
