Can You See Them?

A month ago, after we came back from our trip.

A piece of shocking news erupted.

The whole neighborhood where we lived was turned into a city of blood.

The scariest thing was, that every policeman who approached the neighborhood to capture the suspect was killed brutally.

Thank god we planned to have a family trip.

Just as usual, every time I finished doing chores. I watched the news just in case.

But this time, the news I received was so shocking.

The suspect was found by the police!

When they found the suspect, he already died.

The suspect was just a teen, about 16-17 years old.

How could a young man like this turn the whole neighborhood into a nightmare?

What's more, I knew who's this young man.

His name was Julius.

Although he was somewhat gloomy and didn't show any emotions, I didn't expect that he would do that.

But why?

Due to curiosity, I continued to watch the news.

It said the main reason he did that was still under investigation.

They said when they searched his house. They found some shocking things.

A jar containing a heart, a body brutally been cut open.

And a girl who believed his sister.

The cause of death of the girl was said to be asphyxiation, which means a lack of oxygen.

There was still a trace of a rope mark on her neck, meaning she suicide.

Sigh, this child. I have a good impression of her. Why would she suicide?

Other than those were corpses with the same kind of wound.

A clean cut.

The killer has killed them like cutting a tofu.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

But, that young man was thin and looked weak.

How can he kill all of them, in just a clean slash?

There were still few who survived from his blade.

According to the survivors, he killed them for a few reasons.

They said he killed those who badmouthed his sister.

He killed those who bullied her.

He killed those who hurt her.

They were thankful that they didn't do anything to his sister.

Sigh. What a bad month.

I hope there will be no such bad news anymore.

Three days later.

I don't know if I'm lucky or not but this shitty mouth jinx it!

A new creepy rumor was spread.

It said the knife that Julius used to kill all his victims was cursed.

Everyone who tries to touch that knife will be killed a few hours later mysteriously.

Some rumors said that they would be possessed by Julius.

May 3, 20xx

While walking to the market to buy some food, I walked past a girl talking and playing by herself.

Maybe she saw the pity in my eyes she called me and asked. "Uncle, can you see them?"

I asked for whom.

She said. "My friends."

She pointed. "There."

I turned my eyes towards the place she pointed but there was no one there.

It may be due to past events that I always feel nervous, but I'm feeling a little creepy at that time.

Good thing her mother came.

"Ash!" her mother came running and heaving panting. "Why did you go here?"

She was so worried about her child that she forgot that I was there.

And finally, she noticed me and suddenly apologized. "I'm sorry for causing trouble."

I said it's okay.

"What are you doing here alone?" her mother asked.

"Playing with my friends," she said as she pointed towards the ground where she was playing.

I and her mother turned our attention to the ground but there was no one there.

The atmosphere turned silent, her mother could only laugh awkwardly and say that it was normal for a child to say something like that.

I can only nod.

We both parted ways after that.

I continued to walk as usual like nothing happened.

But more creepiness happened.

That night. I heard children playing in our living room.

Maybe it's my daughter and her cousins.

But I remembered, that my wife and my daughter decided to leave my parents' house while I stayed here to arrange some things. Basically, I am alone.

I muster up all my courage to look at my living room, what I saw was nothing.

There were no children playing, but the dolls and toys my daughter had were there. Like someone played them.

Although I was feeling a little creepy at that time, I still cleaned it and arranged my daughter's things.

Some of my thoughts say maybe I forgot to clean the living room after my wife and daughter left.

But they left 2 days ago, and I cleaned the house all the time.

After I moved the toys to my daughter's room.

I immediately left took some things and locked the house before leaving it.

And that night, I decided to sleep at my parents' house with my wife.

I drove the car towards my parents' place. I know I am alone at that time. But I feel like there is someone else with me.

To keep things safe, I parked my car near my friend's house and took a taxi instead. And this time, I feel safe.

After reaching my parent's house, they greeted me. And I explained the whole thing to them. They knew I would not lie to something like that so they believed me. Especially my parents, maybe they felt someone following me and they closed the door.

That time, I felt so scared.

The next day, my parents took me to a priest to be prayed by the priest, along with my wife and daughter.

In the next following days, my parents issued to bless my house.

Only then do I feel safe.

For the next few years, nothing happened. My daughter grows up and is finally in high school.

This is the happy life I want.

It continues, I hoped it would last 'till I die.

Since then my life has been peaceful

Until now?

[End??]
