Eerie Cries

It was impossible to see anything inside the dark bedroom. Chen Fan slapped his right hand on the wall and the incandescent lamp brightened up the entire room. Yun Meng was curled up on the bed and holding onto the quilt with a pale face filled with horror. Her trembling slender finger pointed at the darkness outside the window as her teeth chattered like a hardworking woodpecker. 

"Out...o-outside…"

"Don't panic, what exactly happened?" Chen Fan quickly walked to the window and looked outside. Other than the pattering raindrops, there was only the occasional lightning in the darkness outside the window. Chen Fan observed for a long while near the window and did not see anything suspicious. The district's security system was very good, so there shouldn't be any ignorant or loathsome pests here committing crimes.

"I heard... I heard a woman howling." With bare shoulders, Yun Meng trembled as she curled inside the white silk quilt.
