TW: Ghosts
Genre: Horror
We are in a hiking trip, currently in front of a cliff where you can clearly see the breathtaking city view. Right from where I stand, I can see the famous apartment building shaped in an upside down letter U. It's popular due to its unique shape and tall height. I took my camera out and took a picture of it. My phone has a magnificent zooming feature, it can zoom in even from a far.
When I zoomed in on the rooftop part of the building, I saw two silhouettes standing firmly. It's already nearing dusk so the sun is beginning to set and I can't really see it enough. But, it is clear to me that those are women, their hair is swaying by the wind together with the hems of their dresses ... or skirt? I don't really know.
I tried zooming the camera again and there I see it clear enough to visualize their faces.
It's horrifying. Their faces are horrifying enough para mapatigil ako sa kinakatayuan ko. I'm not afraid of ghosts or anything, I can even withstand binge watching horror movies but this, it made my body shiver.
I can still remember their faces smiling creepily towards me as if they can see right through me.
Kahit binaba ko na yung phone ko, nakikita ko parin mula sa malayo yung silhouettes nila. Enough para isipin kong hindi lang camera trick yung nakita ko.
They're real. So fckin real.
Nag aaya na bumaba yung mga kasama ko, kaya pilit ko winaksi kung ano mang nakita ko baka guni guni ko lang. Pero hindi, tinataksilan ako ng utak ko at di ko matanggal sa isip ko. Nang bigla ko naalalang nakunan ko ng litrato yung tuktok ng building.
Dali dali kong kinuha yung phone ko at hinanap yung picture. And there I saw it again, pinakita ko sa mga kasama ko kung nakikita din ba nila but they can't kasi padilim na non. I lose hope.
"Guys, fully booked na daw sa mga hotels kaya mag apartment nalang tayo, pwede naman yun daily lang magbayad" - sabi ng isa kong kasamahan
"Sige okay na din, don tayo sa sikat dito. Sa sunrise apartment! Maganda daw amenities doon"
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad at napatulala nalang.
No. This can't be. Ayoko pumunta. Baka makita ko sila.
