One Shot Stories (creepy edition)

Lion's Eyes

"This is the best offer you can get. Take it or leave it."

In front of me is an innocent looking girl. Mukhang walang-wala na ito kaya sa paupaupahan na ito na siya napunta.

"I'll take it." Walang ano-ano'y tugon niya.

"Perhaps, you still haven't heard about the rumors spreading 'bout that room." I smirked.

Curiosity flashed into her face. "H-Hindi pa."

Alam ko...

"Ayos na rin yaang wala kang alam. I'll give you a few tips in order to survive--"

"Survive?" Usal niya kaagad.

"Uhuh. Kapag may kumatok, tanungin mo muna kung sino ang nasa pinto mas lalo na kung wala kang iniimbita. If nagsabi ng name, tsaka mo lang bubuksan. Now, in case na hindi niya sinabi kung sino siya and ask you "why can't I come in?" Isa lang ang isasagot mo....

Porque estas muerto"

"Ano pong ibig-" Hindi na niya naituloy ang itatanong niya dahil bumukas na ang pinto. Iniluwal noon ang tauhan ko which will lead her to her new apartment.

"Madame, shall we?"

Tumango ako. "Make sure she's safe."

Umalis na sila pagkatapos noon. I pity that little girl. Sana lang ay magtagal siya.

"Madame!" Tawag saakin ng janitor. He gave me 'that' look.

I sighed. Agad akong nagtungo sa kwarto niya and I saw her. She's all ripped open. Her innocent face is sliced in half. Her intestines are scattered everywhere and her eyes...

It's missing.

"You know what to do." Aniya ko bago talikuran ang karumaldumal na senaryong iyon.

Napahilamos ako sa sarili ko. This is the 16th time. Lalaki man o babae, he doesn't care at all. Pinapatay niya ang lahat.

Wala sa sariling pumunta ako sa kwarto na ngayon ay malinis na.

"Madame..."

Humarap ako kay Elisa. She's one of my most trusted employee. "It's okay. You know what to do. Tinuruan na kita." I said and my eyes started to tear up.

"Y-Yes madame."

Pumasok ako sa kwarto at humiga sa kama. This feels so nostalgic.

"Leo, do you know that you have the most beautiful eyes?" I remember myself talking to him a decade ago.

"You think so?"

"Mierda, Leo! I saw it with my own two eyes!"

Nagulat ako nang kalampaging niya ang pinto. "How many times do I have to tell you, Zarnnia? TINIGNAN KO LANG SIYA!"

Hindi ko na alam ang nangyari. The next thing I knew, patat na siya. Sa harapan ko. I'm holding his eyes and... Smiling.

*knock* *knock*

He's here.

"Sino 'yan?"

"Why can't I come in?"

"P-Porque estas muerto... You're dead."

Kinilabutan ako nang makarinig ng halakhak. Teka...

Biglang bumukas ang pinto. HE'S---

"AAAAHHHHH!" Sigaw ng isa sa mga tauhan sa paupahan kaya kaagad na dinumog ang silid kung saan naroon ang katawan ng kanilang madame... Wala nang mata.

Some of them are screaming in despair but guess what? Someone's smiling...

"Elisa..." She felt someone kissed her neck. "We did it." They kissed passionately.

Humagikgik si Elisa. "Ang tanga. Naniwala na multo ang pumapatay sa mga naninirahan dito." Parehas silang tumawa.

"Te quiero, Elisa."

"I love you too, 𝑳𝒆𝒐. "
