Footprints without feet কাহিনী হৈছে Griffin নামৰ এজন অসুৰ বিজ্ঞানীৰ বিষয়ে। তেওঁ মানুহৰ শৰীৰ কেনেদৰে অদৃশ্য কৰিব পৰা যায় তাৰ উপায় বোৰ আৱিষ্কাৰ কৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰি আহিছে আৰু শেষত তেওঁ আৱিষ্কাৰ কৰিছিল, এটা দিন তেওঁ সেই বিৰল / দুৰ্লভ ঔষধ নিজেই গিলে আৰু নিজকে অদৃশ্য কৰিবলৈ সক্ষম হ’ল । কিন্তু তেওঁক অনুভৱ কৰিব পাৰি কিয়নো তেওঁৰ শৰীৰটো কাঁচৰ দৰে কঠিন হৈ আছে।
তাৰ পিছত তেওঁ তেওঁৰ ঘৰৰ মালিকৰ ঘৰত অগ্নিসংযোগ কৰে কাৰন তেওঁ মালিকৰ ওপৰত প্ৰতিশোধ ল’বলৈ বিছাৰিছিল। তেওঁ তেওঁৰ সকলো পিন্ধি কাপোৰ আঁতৰাই অদৃশ্য হৈ পৰিছিল আৰু তাৰ পৰা পলায়ন কৰিলে। তেওঁ কোনোমতে কিছু বোকাত খোজ পেলালে আৰু যেতিয়া তেওঁ খোজ কাঢ়িবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰে, এনেদৰে তেওঁ তেওঁৰ কদাচিৎ ভৰিৰ চিন ত্যাগ কৰি যায় ।
তেওঁক প্ৰথমে লণ্ডনৰ মাজৰ এটা ঘৰৰ দুজন ল’ৰাই লক্ষ্য কৰিছিল য’ত তেওঁলোকে কেৱল তেওঁৰ ভৰিৰ চিন দেখিছিল । তেওঁলোকে চিন্তা কৰিছিল কি চলি আছে সেয়েহে তেওঁৰ ভৰিৰ চিন অনুসৰণ কৰা আৰম্ভ হৈছিল। সিহতে ভৰিৰ চিন মুৰ্চা যোৱালৈকে ইয়াক অনুসৰণ কৰে আৰু পাছত ইয়াক দেখা নাযায়।
এইটো শীতকালৰ মাজভাগ আছিল আৰু বায়ু অতি ঠাণ্ডা আছিল ।Griffin য়ে ঠাণ্ডা অনুভৱ কৰে, কিছু উমৰ বাবে ডাঙৰ দোকান এখনত প্ৰৱেশ কৰে । দোকানখন বন্ধ হোৱাৰ পিছত তেওঁ কিছু গৰম কাপোৰ পিন্ধিব আৰু কিবা খাবলৈ সিদ্ধান্ত লয়। তেওঁ প্ৰথমে কেইটামান কাপোৰৰ বাকচ খুলিগৰম কাপোৰ পিন্ধে।
তাৰ পিছত ৰেষ্টুৰেণ্ট এখনৰ পাকঘৰৰ পৰা তেওঁ ঠাণ্ডা মাংস আৰু কিছু কফি খায়। পিছত তেওঁ মিঠাই আৰু মদ খায়। তেওঁ ক্লান্ত হৈ পৰিছিল, আহাৰৰ পিছত এক গাদা লেপত শুই পৰে।
তেওঁ ৰাতিপুৱা দেৰিকৈ জাগি উঠে তেতিয়ালৈ কিছুমান দোকান সহায়ক দোকানত আহিছিল, তেওঁলোকক দেখি Griffin য়ে দৌৰিবলৈ আৰম্ভ কৰিলে আৰু দোকান সহায়কসকলে তেওঁক অনুসৰণ কৰে। তাৰ পিছত তেওঁ নতুনকৈ পিন্ধি থকা সকলো কাপোৰ পেলাই দিয়ে আৰু পুনৰ অদৃশ্য হৈ পৰিছিল আৰু পলায়ন কৰিলে।
তাৰ পিছত তেওঁ লণ্ডনৰ ঠাণ্ডা শীতকালত কোনো কাপোৰ অবিহনে পুনৰ চমৎকাৰ কৰিবলৈ আৰম্ভ কৰিলে। তাৰ পিছত সি অতিৰিক্ত কিবা চেষ্টা কৰাৰ সিদ্ধান্ত লয়। তেওঁ Drury lane লৈ যায় তাত তেওঁ উপযুক্ত দোকান এখন পালে।
তেওঁ থিয়েটাৰ কোম্পানী দোকানৰ পৰা কাপোৰ চুৰি কৰাৰ সিদ্ধান্ত লয় কিয়নো তেওঁ জানিছিল যে তেওঁ মুখখন ঢাকি ৰাখিবলৈ কিবা পাব। তেওঁ ওপৰলৈ যায়, তাৰ পিছত মুখত বেণ্ডেজ, ডাঠ চশমা, মিছা নাক আৰু নিজকে আৱৰি ৰখাৰ বাবে এটা টোকা পিন্ধে। তাৰ পিছত তেওঁ দোকানীজনক পিছফালৰ পৰা আঘাত কৰে আৰু তেওঁৰ সকলো টকা চুৰি কৰে।
সোনকালেই তেওঁ অনুভৱ কৰে যে লণ্ডনত এনেদৰে বাস কৰিবলৈ অত্যাধিক ভিৰ হয় আৰু সিদ্ধান্ত লয় যে তেওঁ দূৰৱৰ্তী গাওঁলৈ যাব। তেওঁ Iping গাওঁত এখন স্থানীয় হোতেলত দুটা কোঠা ভাড়া কৰে।
তেওঁ Iping উপস্থিত হয় আৰু Iping ৰ লোকসকলৰ বাবে এয়া অদ্ভুত দৃশ্য কাৰন এনে অস্বাভাৱিক চেহেৰা থকা অচিনাকি ব্যক্তি হিচাপে শীতকালত এটা অইন স্থানত থাকিবলৈ আহিছে। ইয়াত শ্ৰীমতী হল (Mrs. Hall) মালিকৰ পত্নীয়ে Griffin ৰ সৈতে কথা পাতিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰে কিন্তু তেওঁ কোনো ইচ্ছা প্ৰদৰ্শন নকৰে আৰু তেওঁক বিৰক্ত নকৰিবলৈ সতৰ্ক কৰে।
তেওঁৰ চুৰি হোৱা ধন শেষ হোৱাৰ পিছত, তেওঁ এজন পাদৰী (clergyman) এজনৰ ঘৰৰ পৰা ধন চুৰি কৰে আৰু তেওঁৰ অনুপস্থিতিত তেওঁৰ কোঠাটো পৰীক্ষা কৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰোঁতে নতুন মালিক আৰু তেওঁৰ পত্নীক আঘাত কৰে।
তাৰ পিছত গাৱৰ কনিষ্টবলক সহায়ৰ বাবে মাতি পঠোৱা হয় কিন্তু তাৰ আগতে শ্ৰীমতী হলে তেওঁক তেওঁ কোন আৰু তেওঁৰ আচবাবৰ সম্পৰ্কে প্ৰশ্ন কৰে। ই তাক সঁচাকৈয়ে ক্বাখিত কৰে আৰু তেওঁ সঁচাকৈয়ে কোন দেখুৱাবলৈ সিদ্ধান্ত লয়।
তাৰ পিছত মানুহবোৰে এজন মুৰহীন লোকক দেখিলে, কনিষ্টবল গৰাকীয়েও দেখিলে যে তেওঁ মুৰ নথকা এজন লোকক আটক কৰিব লাগিব। কিন্তু তেওঁ তেওঁৰ মেজিষ্ট্ৰেটৰ আদেশ অনুসৰণ কৰিবই লাগিব। তেওঁলোকে Griffin ক ধৰিবলৈ অক্ষম কিয়নো তেওঁ তেওঁৰ সকলো কাপোৰ এটাৰ পিছত আঁতৰ কৰে আৰু অদৃশ্য হৈ পৰে। আনকি তেওঁ Jaffer ক আঘাট কৰে কিয়নো তেওঁ তেওঁক ধৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰে।
কিন্তু জাফৰক তেওঁৰ কৰ্তব্য পালন কৰিবলৈ সহজে বাধা দিয়া হোৱা নাছিল। যদি দণ্ডাধীশৰ ৱাৰেণ্টে এজন ব্যক্তিক গ্ৰেপ্তাৰ কৰাৰ নিৰ্দেশ দিয়ে, তেন্তে সেই ব্যক্তিজনক তেওঁৰ মুৰৰ সৈতে বা অবিহনে গ্ৰেপ্তাৰ কৰিব লাগিব। তাত এটা উল্লেখযোগ্য দৃশ্য অনুসৰণ কৰা হৈছিল যেতিয়া পুলিচজনে এজন মানুহক ধৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰিছিল যি অধিক অদৃশ্য হৈ পৰিছিল যেতিয়া তেওঁ এটাৰ পিছত এটা পোছাক দলিয়াই দিছিল। অৱশেষত এটা চাৰ্ট বতাহত উৰি গ’ল, আৰু কনিষ্টবলজনে নিজকে এনে এজন ব্যক্তিৰ সৈতে যুঁজি থকা দেখিলে যিটো তেওঁ একেবাৰে দেখা নাপালে। কিছুমান লোকে তেওঁক সহায় কৰিবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰিছিল, কিন্তু তেওঁলোকে নিজকে আঘাতৰ দ্বাৰা আঘাত প্ৰাপ্ত হোৱা দেখিছিল যিবোৰ ক’ৰপৰা অহা যেন লাগিছিল।
শেষত জাফাৰ্ছ অজ্ঞান হৈ পৰিছিল যিহেতু তেওঁ নেদেখা বিজ্ঞানীজনক ধৰি ৰাখিবলৈ শেষ চেষ্টা কৰিছিল। “তাক ধৰি ৰাখক” বুলি উদ্বিগ্ন, উত্তেজিত চিঞৰ বাখৰ হৈছিল। কিন্তু এইটো কৰাতকৈ সহজ আছিল। গ্ৰিফিনে নিজকে মুক্তভাৱে জোকাৰি গৈছিল, আৰু কোনেও নাজানিছিল যে তেওঁৰ ওপৰত ক’ত হাত ৰাখিব লাগে।
