Blood Vapour

A Strange Feeling

Good Morning Mia! You silly little kitty! Why can't I wake up without seeing a big white cats fluffy but on my face every morning?

You're hungry huh? Give me a second will ya? As I got out of bed I went to the kitchen with Mia bearing the rumbles in my own stomach. As I poured a little kibble for Mia I had heard people shouting, most probably a couple next door screwing around with their silly little love problems. They were causing such a ruckus that I got a headache while having my breakfast. I sat there, staring at a glass of water as it rippled with the vibrations caused from the banging on the walls. I could hear vases thrown and broken and the thuds of heavy items falling on to the floor followed by more shouts and cussing. I was brought back to deep dark memory of my past. A sudden Cling rang in my ears and the echo of the past screams of my dear little sister had me flying through the black abyss of my nightmare. She was murdered 6 years ago. What still haunts me is, I never found out who killed her. I still remember seeing her at home, Also I remembered how I too had screamed for silly little love problems. I had broken up with her the year my sister was murdered, I was too stressed out with the mystery of my sisters fate.

Man! Time to get a move on. Solve this piece of mystery and go home ASAP. As I changed my clothes and put on my coat, I ran outside the building to the restaurant in front, having waffles and chocolate syrup and grabbed mocha latte and off I went.

The day didn't seem that bad, sun didn't shine much, seemed a bit cloudy though. In reaching the building I find a young brunette waiting for me, well, I figured she was the officer who was supposed to help me solve this case. That was weird, I'm pretty sure I told the boss that I do NOT want any help can perfectly handle this case on my own. Ah well... I'll just ditch her with some other officer and carry on by myself.

"Good Morning Detective!", She said with a friendly smile."Good morning...Miss...Um...I'm sorry what is your name?". " What?! Looks like you weren't expecting me, Why is that? weren't you informed that I was the one to help you in this case sir? Anyway,My name is Maria Pnam, You can call me Maria ", she said with an embarrassed glare." Well, you see Maria, I'm not sure I might need your help. I'm sorry, I don't mean to rude but...Um...You know what? Never mind, My name name is Joe Dakrey, But you can just call me Joey. Now, shall we get to work? Lets go in and get started. You know the room right?". "Oh sure sir, of course I do, and don't worry, I shall serve and assist you the best way I can. I promise not to disappoint you. Right then, If you will follow me". Oh my god! What did I just do? I shouldn't have said that! Why did I let her in with me? I should have gotten rid of her. But, then again, I guess it wont hurt would it? Lets just give it a go. I mean, She does seem quite normally polite and kind, I guess I can't help but go with flow. Well done detective, you silly man. 

As I entered the building with Maria, I stared at the torn down curtains and scratch marks on the wallpapers on every angle I look at. The blue and white combination pattern and design from the ceiling to the floor were scrambled and gloomy like, The room felt so dark and dull and filled with filthy insects. Bloody cockroaches and ants! We passed the hall and the security guard who was an old man, to the elevator. As the doors closed, Maria pressed the "PH" button and I could feel the vibe of the elevator moving and hear the sounds of clings and clangs above us, I guess the elevators were not serviced as often as they were supposed to. There were 6 floors in this building including the penthouse, And as we ascended to the top. I felt a strange feeling that sent a shiver down my spine. It was strange. It was horrible. Have you ever felt as if someone were right in front of staring at you eye to eye the whole time. I looked at the elevator display and saw three thumb sized holes. one was taped, the other two were pitch black. I felt a hand pat my back softly and gently as I stared at the two holes, into the endless blank space of darkness...TING! The elevator sound had come up and I stood still with my eyes wide open as I saw red lights blinking from the two holes. Maria had stepped out when the doors opened."Sir?" "Yes! Yes! I'm coming!" As I came to reality and followed her, I kept thinking about this strange vibe or feeling. It was creepy. It was a strange feeling. A very strange feeling. Wouldn't you agree?
