Eerie

May 7th

Midnight didn't come silently as always. This time, it was accompanied by sounds so creepy it sent me shivers.

One of the sounds I heard was a cough that came from the side of the house. So, I rushed to the windows to check. Slowly opening the blinds. But in the end, there was nothing but darkness.

The next was the sounds of a girl calling out to me. It came when I was at the electricity socket and was charging phones.

There was a moment of pause. I was deliberating whether to look back or not. So, with chills down my spine, I took a peek above my shoulder. Only to find an open door into blacker darkness.

Though I was very scared at that moment, I tried to sleep. But again, when I tried to, I heard the third sound. A sound of someone wiping their feet on the carpet where I slept.

Before I get more anxious as the clock ticks, I had to do some rational thinking. After a moment of processing, I hypothesized.

One, the sound of the cough stemmed from my mother's uncle. His whole family was sleeping in the room above our head. A room where a window is directed to where I slept.

As for the second… …I couldn't find a material conclusion. The only thing I hypothesized about the sound is that it came from my head. As if a delusion.

For the third, it was a direct confirmation. It was my head lmao. It was caused by the friction between my head and the pillowcase.

In the end, with the power of logical thinking, I slept through the night in peace. Just kidding! It took some time for the anxiousness caused by the second sound.

Then, in the morning… it was a normal one. It was time for Fajr's prayer so I prayed. Then, played on my phone for a while before having breakfast.

After spending some time awake and writing the horror part of this chapter, I fell asleep on the spot. Then when I was coming to, I heard my mother's uncle's family was heading back to their home.

Then I heard my mother's voice coming from outside. A relative had mentioned where her children are. Since they were taking pictures for commemoration.

My mother had responded by saying my brother was "there" and mentioned me being sound asleep. So, I played a little prank on her.

While she was approaching the door, I quickly got up and eliminated my drowsiness. Stood behind the door and waited.

Boo!

She wasn't scared. Well, the reason was that I had no intention to scare her. Only meant to surprise her with me being awake.

After she found out I was no longer asleep, she quickly asked me to go take pictures with the family. With my brother following me behind.

Then as we approached the door to the outside, I played a prank on those who were there. When I went outside, I acted drowsily.

The next thing I did was a swing, and then stick myself to the wall. Then once I swung back, I would fall on the hard floor.

The reaction I got was very nice, they were all laughing at how drowsy I was. But in the end, I hoped that they left us with a smile.

After that, nothing much hap happened during the afternoon. It was only until 15:00 that I continued writing this chapter and then left it off here.

As the days continued, nothing had happened. So in the end, I spent the day lazing around, doing nothing productive.
