17 - Was It An Angel?

(A/N: I'm so bored because no request from anyone, so this time I decided not to cast any idol for the story.)

It was 12 a.m, I was walking home after the scouts practice. I was forced to use a lonely lane as it was the only way to go to my house. As I was passing by an old cemetery, a cold chill ran down my spine. The cemetery was said to be haunted though I did not believe it.

Suddenly, a creature lashed out. I tried to run away from it but the creature was fast. Finally I came to face with it. It was hideous and had the ugliest face I had ever seen before. It lifted its hand to kill me.

An unexpected miracle happened. A man in a white robe came to my rescue. He protected me. Then, all of a sudden, he vanished into thin air.

The following day, I explained to my neighbour what had happened and he admitted that he had once experienced the same thing. Till today I do not know whether it was an angel or my imagination.

-the end-
