A NIGHT WITH DEATH



I was wakened by the sound of an unknown being. It was 3 pm when I heard someone calling my name, I thought it was my mom.

Sluggishly I open my door and dash out of my room

I could hear my name echoed from outside.

I check everywhere but I couldn't find the person calling my name at the quiet and evil time.

Who could this be, I thought.

I turned and took a step back when I heard footsteps behind me immediately I felt a hard blow on my head. Right there my chest was beating fast.


 I've been strangled by an unknown being; I murmured.

I don't hurt; take a step forward and standstill. Don't fucking move, He instructed.

I wipe the sweat off my face with the back of my hand and swallowed hard.


Fear creeping up my fragile heart.

This time I lost my voice and was very tired to requite.

I heard the voice just before I closed my eyes as total darkness encased me.

The moment I became conscious only to realize that it was a mere dream. I've been suppressed.


The shit is damn real, it rendered me lifeless and powerless.
