At Hunter's..

"We gohn b late for the trip Babe.. Get your ass into this car..!!"

"Same ass you chased for three years Mr. Hunter George" She  smiled seductively and rolled her eyes.
They started the car engine and moved off..

"This is our anniversary Babe.. What are we going to do there.. I mean the East Falkland.." He asked not looking at her...

"I don't know.. Have fun.. Check out the natives.. Go for their festivals.. Something like that.."

"Ooowwkayyy??".. He was still not into this vacation stuff.. But, women... " You made any reservations for us..?

"Yeah.. I did.. There's this old hotel with creepy stuffs.. And you know how creepy I can be.. So I booked the hotel.." She said.. Chewing her gum like a pro.

"You booked the whole hotel or jus a room in it??.. "

"Whole of it..."...

He stepped on the brakes rather too aggressively.. The car almost had a spin.

" You booked a whole creepy hotel filled with creepy things for us?? How much did this booking cost!!!?"..

"Not much.." She replied ...

He would have turned back.. But.. They were en route already.. Far from town.. And twas getting dark.

***********
  They jus got to the hotel in East Falkland, it was dark already.... "Stand outside.. Do not enter till I'm done and come for you..".

" Okay.. " She blew her gum into a bubble..

********
"Babe, Do you have the number of the...... " His voice got stuck in his throat..
He left her here
He was so sure. .
He was damn sure he left her here...
The bags... They were still there... But in a different shape now.. The clothes were scattered and there was blood on the floor..

"Babe?!. Babe..??... Babe.. Enough with the jokes.. We.. We jus got here..."..
He have to look for her.. I mean.. She was right there..
" Babe!!..." The fear in his voice made the name come out squeaky.. He was going round the house...
He felt someone watching him...
Someone was following him... And whoever that is.. He's getting closer..
He increased his speed.. He was almost there.. Close to his car...
Yes.. He made it.. He looked up.. From the windscreen.. He saw the shadow.. No.. It was a human.. Ghosts don't exist..
Huge..
Black.. Or is it the dress that's black??..
He's coming close to his car..

"Oh fuck oh fuck .. God no... ".... His car wasn't starting...

" Babe!!.." Someone put her head into the car..

"Arrrrhhhhhhhhh!!!!..." He shut his eyes .. Never to open them again...

"Woah Babe! .. Chill. Its jus me"... Beatrice couldn't make out what made her husband so scared but whatever it was really turned his face into a caricature.. She laughed..
George looked through the windscreen.. The black man was gone...
How!?... He was there just now..

" Babe... Did you see him??.... He asked .. Terror oozed out of him...
"Yeah I did....".. .
"Thank God.. I thought I was going crazy.."...
"He's inside. .. And there's another family here.. Named ermmmm... McCoy's??.. Stupid name.. Anyways.. He said he's sorry for not letting us know earlier... So quit being a baby and let's go in..."..

" Who are you talking about??.. " he wanted to be sure he's not crazy..

"The agent of course... C'mon.. I was trying to take my red ink from my bag .. Heard a noise.. Got startled and dropped the ink bottle... It splashed on the floor... Then I went to check it out... That's when I met the agent.. He took me inside and introduced me to the other family..... Come help me pack it up.. Pleaseeee.." She dragged him out of the car...

"Its very obvious.. I'm crazy.."He thought to himself as he followed her.
