♣ MINT ♣

iii)

I was up in my room that Nana herself fixed,

the curtains were made of silk, with the color

tone of brown that seemed to get lighter as it

reached up to the rods, my bed was arranged

just the way that I like it, my pillows were

arranged and were stacked neatly at the head

board, the pillowcase were in the tone of

orange to nearly portraying the color of the

Curiosity first entered my system as I walked

towards the bath, even at the warm spray of

water that touched my body, my mind still

traveled to that figure that I saw, but from

what Nana told me that no one was around

except from the family that lives 5 kilometers

away from us. So who or what was that

figure lurking around our property?!

“Nana..” I called her attention as she set

down the plates right in front of me, “I saw

something..”

Nana’s eyes flickered as she looked at me in a

way that she’s telling me that she wants me

to continue.

“I saw something or I think it’s someone

lurking just a couple of yards there in the
