It was a stormy night in the town of Isulan. Isulan is the capital town of sultan kudarat, mindanao Philippines. Rain poured down, and thunder and lightning painted the skies with flashes of light. In the dimly lit maternity ward of the local hospital, Helena had just given birth to a son. The chaos outside was mirrored by the chaos inside, with nurses and doctors frantically moving about.
Margaux, Helena's sister, was in charge of organizing the necessary documents at the nurse station. As she shuffled through the paperwork, she couldn't help but worry about her sister and the newborn baby.
Nurse 1: (Anxious) Yes, it's been stormy for hours now. The whole town is in turmoil.
Nurse 2: (Panicked) I hope Helena and her newborn are safe.
Suddenly, a blinding bolt of lightning struck, and a glowing figure materialized in Helena's room.
Glowing Man: (Addressing Helena) Helena, you and your child are important. You must know that...
Helena's voice quivered as she struggled to maintain consciousness.
Helena: (Weakly) Who... are you?
In an instant, she lost consciousness.
Margaux, alarmed by the spectacle, rushed into the room, shouting "No!" Doctors and nurses hurried to the scene, calling for help and summoning the police. But Margaux stopped them.
Margaux: (Urging them to stop) No, stop! There's something mystical happening here. Let it be.
Outside the room, a teenager named Leo observed the chaos, including the lightning and the glowing man who had taken the baby. Leo couldn't believe his eyes and later confided in his co-worker, Alice, about what he had witnessed.
Leo: (To Alice) You won't believe what I just saw, Alice. A glowing man took the baby!
Alice: (Skeptical) Leo, I didn't see anyone enter the room. There was no light either.
As Alice went to report the missing child to the police, the hospital's CCTV footage revealed nothing. It was as though the child had vanished into thin air. The police were on their way to investigate the strange occurrence.
Back in the room, Helena suddenly woke up, shouting and crying, claiming that someone named Alexander had taken her child.
Helena: (Hysterical) Alexander took my child!
Police Officer Santiago entered the room and began questioning Helena, trying to make sense of the situation.
Police Officer Santiago: (Calming tone) Helena, it's okay. We're here to help. Can you tell us who Alexander is?
Helena: (Hysterical) Alexander... he was the glowing man who took my baby. He said... he said...
But Margaux intervened, insisting that Helena was confused and exhausted from childbirth.
Margaux: (Interrupting) Officer Santiago, my sister just gave birth. She's confused and exhausted. Can we give her some time to rest and recover? We'll provide statements when she's feeling better.
Police Officer Santiago: (Understanding) I understand, Margaux. We'll wait for your statement. Please call us when you're ready.
With that, Officer Santiago and his team left the room, leaving the sisters alone. The mystery of Alexander and the missing child hung in the air, unanswered and unsettling.
