Untology [Stories]

18. Mother

I was taking a bath when I heard noises coming from the kitchen. Someone's creepily chopping something there.

I immediately finished my bath and opened the door of the kitchen nervously.

I was trembling for I am the only person living inside this house so it is impossible that someone would cook while I am inside the bathroom.

All of the sweat were vanished, all of the fears in my heart were killed when I saw my mom smiling at me while chopping some fresh flesh. I sighed. I really thought that some thing that's creepy is happening here right now.

I smiled at her then started walking towards the door. I was about to open the door and go to my room when some realization stopped me.

My heart beats fast when I realized something. Sweat formed once again, my fears went alive when I knew that I am the only person who's living here and my mother is already dead. It's been years since she died and it's impossible for her to cook at my place because she's now resting in peace!

Apprehensively, I turned around wishing that I'm just hallucinating, just imagining things. I gulped and walked backward when I saw her still there, cooking at my kitchen.

"M-mom..." I uttered nervously.

I started panting when she started walking to meet me.

N-no! She's already dead. Calm yourself, dear. She's already dead!

She let a horrifying smile while murmuring something. "It's your time, my dear daughter. You killed me and this is your punishment."

I decided to ran but my naughty head turned around when I heard her eerie laughs. And it's too late to leave this bloodcurdling  house to survive because she did something unexpected, something grisly.

She pushed me and then sliced the whole part of me angrily.

And this is her punishment for me, 'cause I killed her to be with my father but unfortunately, I killed him too for he can't love me back the way I want him to.
