Lestari had always been a brazen girl. She never backed down from a challenge, no matter how risky or daring. She loved the thrill of doing something that others would not dare to do. She was the leader of her gang of friends, who followed her wherever she went.
One day, she sneaked into the abandoned factory near her neighborhood. She had heard rumors that it was haunted by the ghosts of the workers who died there in a fire. She wanted to prove that she was not afraid of anything and could find the truth behind the mystery.
She convinced her friends to join her, and they waited until nightfall to make their move. They climbed over the fence that surrounded the factory and found a broken window to enter. They used their flashlights to explore the dark and dusty interior, looking for any signs of life or death.
They walked through the empty halls and rooms, filled with old machinery and debris. They heard strange noises and saw shadows moving in the corners of their eyes. They felt a cold breeze and a chill down their spines. They wondered if they were alone, or if someone or something was watching them.
Lestari was not scared. She was curious and excited. She wanted to see more, to go deeper into the factory. She led her friends to the basement, where the fire had started. She hoped to find some clues or evidence that would reveal what had happened there.
She opened the door to the basement and was greeted by a blast of hot air. She coughed and covered her nose, as the smell of smoke and ashes filled her lungs. She stepped inside and saw a pile of charred bodies, still smoldering. She screamed and ran back to the door. But it was too late. The door slammed shut behind her, locking her and her friends inside.
They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. No one came. They were trapped in the basement, with the ghosts of the dead. They realized that they had made a terrible mistake and that they had paid the price for their brazenness.
