It was a busy day for Mina, who was working overtime at her job on Quezon Ave. She had a project deadline approaching, and she was determined to get it done on time. As the clock ticked closer to the end of the workday, Mina became increasingly anxious to get home and finish the project. She gathered her things and hurried out of the office, determined to beat the deadline.
As Mina made her way through the dark alley, she couldn't help but feel anxious. It was a place she normally avoided, especially at night. Just a month earlier, one of her colleagues had been robbed and stabbed in the back while passing through this same alley. Mina couldn't shake the feeling that she might be next.
As Mina turned down the dark path, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. The path was completely unlit, and she could barely make out the ground in front of her. She remembered that there used to be some light here, but someone had intentionally destroyed it. She couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible might happen to her as she walked through the darkness.
Despite her fear, Mina knew she had to keep going. She had to get home as quickly as possible to finish her project. She kept her head down and walked as fast as she could, trying to ignore the feeling of dread that threatened to overcome her.
As Mina walked down the street, she heard a commotion coming from a nearby alley. She stopped in her tracks and listened, trying to make out what was happening. It sounded like two people were arguing, and Mina could hear the distressed voice of a woman.
She hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. She knew that the woman needed help, but Mina wasn't sure she was capable of taking on the man who was with her. He was much bigger and stronger than Mina, and she didn't think she would be able to defend herself if he turned on her. She decided to hide in the bushes, afraid to make any sound.
Mina saw that the man was dragging the woman by the arm, trying to force her to leave with him. The woman was struggling and crying, clearly unwilling to go. She wanted to make a phone call, but also scared to create sound. She couldn't only hope that someone else will pass that area to help her. Unfortunately, her prayers will fall on deaf ears.
Mina's heart was racing as she watched the scene unfold before her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, and she felt frozen in place, unable to move or speak. She covered her mouth with her hands, afraid to make a sound and draw attention to herself. She wanted to do something to help, but she didn't know what. She was just a young woman, and the man in front of her seemed so much larger and stronger. She knew that she couldn't take him on by herself.
As she watched, the man strangled the woman with his necktie, using only one hand. Mina could see the fear and desperation in the woman's eyes. After being satisfied with the sight, he took an army knife and slit her throat. The man released a maniacal laugh.
As Mina watched, the man finished his grisly task and began to clean up the crime scene. He was careful and methodical, making sure to leave no trace of what had happened. He picked up the bloody knife and wiped it clean, then put it back in his pocket. He put the woman's body into a body bag and zipped it up, concealing her remains from view.
Mina couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had never witnessed anything like this before, and she was terrified. She knew that she had to get out of there before the man noticed her. She started to back away, hoping to slip away unnoticed.
As Mina watched, the man put the body bag in the back of his vehicle and climbed behind the wheel. He started the engine and drove away, disappearing into the night. Mina couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. She was shaking and struggling to catch her breath.
She remained hidden in the bushes until the vehicle was out of sight, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of what had happened. She couldn't believe that the man who had committed this terrible crime was someone she knew. He was an employee at her place of work, someone she had seen every day and interacted with on a regular basis.
When she finally felt brave enough to move, Mina stood up and began to walk. She felt like she was in a fog, her feet moving mechanically as she made her way back to the main road. She didn't even realize when she reached it, her mind consumed by the events of the night.
When Mina finally reached her house, she was exhausted and emotionally drained. She had witnessed a terrible crime and was struggling to come to terms with what she had seen. She was hungry, but she couldn't bring herself to eat. The image of the victim's face, looking at her with pleading eyes, kept flashing through her mind. She knew that she had to do something to bring the perpetrator to justice, but she was afraid of the consequences.
Mina paced around her house, trying to decide what to do. She wanted to call the police and tell them what had happened, but she was afraid of what the perpetrator might do if he found out. She knew that she couldn't just let him get away with what he had done. She needed to find a way to bring him to justice and give the victim the closure she deserved.

As the night wore on, Mina found it hard to relax. Every little noise scared her, and she was jumpy and on edge. She tried to sleep, but every time she closed her eyes, she saw the victim's face again. She knew that she had to do something, but she didn't know where to start. She needed help and guidance, and she hoped that someone would be able to give her the support and guidance she needed.
A while later, Mina was shocked to hear her phone rang in the middle of the night. Mina's heart was racing as she answered the phone. She was surprised to see an unknown number calling her so late at night, and she had no idea who might be on the other end. She hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to expect.
"Hello, who's this?" she asked, her voice trembling.
To her surprise, the voice on the other end was a woman, and she was pleading for help. "Help me," she said. "I know you saw everything."
Mina's hair stood up on end as she listened to the woman's voice. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had witnessed a terrible crime, and now it seemed that the victim was reaching out to her for help.
But before she could say anything, the woman's voice got louder, and Mina realized that the phone was on speaker. "Help me," the woman repeated, her voice urgent.
Mina was shaking as she hung up the phone. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She had witnessed a terrible crime, and now it seemed that the victim was reaching out to her from beyond the grave. She knew that she had to do something to help, but she didn't know where to start.
She tried to calm down and think clearly, but her mind was racing. She couldn't catch any sleep, even though she was exhausted. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the victim's face again, pleading with her for help. Mina spent the rest of the night pacing around her house, trying to come up with a plan. As the sun began to rise, Mina was no closer to a solution.
Mina arrived at work the next morning feeling exhausted and on edge. She had spent the night pacing around her house, trying to come up with a plan to help the victim and bring the perpetrator to justice. She had barely slept, and it showed.
As she walked through the door, the security guard greeted her with a smile. "Hey, Mina," he said. "You look like you didn't get much sleep last night."
Mina forced a smile and shrugged. "I had a lot on my mind," she said.
The security guard nodded sympathetically. "I know how that feels," he said. "Is everything okay?"
Mina hesitated for a moment, wondering if she could trust the security guard. She had known him for two years, and he had always been friendly and helpful. But she wasn't sure if she should confide in him about what had happened. In the end, she decided not to tell him. She thanked him for his concern and headed to the elevator, determined to keep the events of the night before to herself.
As she rode the elevator up to the 23rd floor, Mina tried to push the memories of the previous night out of her mind. She focused on her work and tried to stay calm and focused. But just as the doors of the elevator were about to close, a familiar face stepped in. It was the same man she had seen committing the crime the night before.
Mina's heart raced as she realized that she was trapped in the elevator with the man who had killed the woman. She was terrified and didn't know what to do. She tried to stay calm and think clearly, but it was hard to focus with the man standing so close to her. She knew that she had to get away from him as soon as possible.
Mina's heart was pounding as the man greeted her with a smile. She couldn't believe that he had the audacity to act like nothing had happened, as if he was just a normal person going about his day. She nodded at him, trying to keep her expression neutral. She didn't want to give him any indication that she knew what he had done.
The man asked her about having overtime the previous day and the time she had gone home. Mina did her best to feign innocence and told him that she had gone home early that day. She hoped that he would believe her and let it go, but she knew that it was a long shot. She couldn't believe that she was trapped in the elevator with the man who had killed the woman the night before, and she was terrified of what he might do next.
Mina was filled with anxiety as she left the elevator on the 18th floor. She had been so focused on getting away from the man that she hadn't realized where she was going. She turned around and saw the man smiling at her, a devilish glint in his eye. She knew that he knew she had witnessed his crime, and she was terrified of what he might do.
She turned and ran, desperate to get away from him. She saw another elevator ahead of her and sprinted towards it, hoping that it would take her away from the man. She was about to step inside when the doors opened, and she saw the man coming out of the fire exit. Chills ran down her spine; if she had taken that route, she would've encountered that criminal.
Mina managed to close the elevator doors just in time. She was shaking and terrified, but she knew that she had to get help. She ran down to the ground floor as fast as she could, her mind racing as she tried to come up with a plan.
When she reached the security guard, she collapsed in front of him, sobbing and begging for help. The guard quickly took control of the situation, hiding Mina and calling the police. He acted innocent, pretending not to know what was going on, as he waited for the police to arrive.
When the police arrived, they quickly took control of the situation, restraining the man and taking him into custody. He was still trying to act innocent, but Mina was determined to put him behind bars for good. She knew that she had to be strong and brave if she was going to bring him to justice, and she was ready to do whatever it took to see that happen.
With the help of the police and the security guard, Mina was able to bring the man to justice and give the victim the closure she deserved. She knew that it wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to do whatever it took to see that justice was served.
After the events of that day, Mina couldn't shake the feeling that something supernatural had been at play. She couldn't believe how close she had come to being caught by the man who had killed the woman, and she couldn't help but wonder if something had helped her escape.
Apparently, other workers are about to use the elevator. They pushed the button, but interestingly it seemed that it wasn't stopping and opening for them. Mina couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between the elevator's strange behavior and the events of that night. She knew that it was probably just a coincidence, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something supernatural was at work.
