Chapter 13 TISZ Wick
3AM
3rd person POV
On the ground of the forest there is a person sleeping. Beside that person on the left side there is a candle that lit up. The fire of the candle created a light that illuminated the surrounding a little making it barely recognizable.
The light from the candle also reach to the person that is still sleeping.
When the light reach the person eventually to that person face it show a black hair man with a track pant. Of course this person that laying there on the ground is Nasrul.
As the fire from the candle flicker a few time more a soft sound was then heard from the direction Nasrul sleep.
“Hmnnn…”
Making a soft sound while rolling to the right side Nasrul muttered a sound that he still want to continue sleeping although the cold begin to reach his body.
After he rolled to the right, the face of Nasrul then face to the ground making his mouth make contact with the soil. Even when his mouth make contact with the ground it still not making him waking up from his sleep. Then it happened. His mouth that in contact with the ground move and the soil then move through the opening of his mouth. It enter the mouth. After several second then a large movement was detected and then Nasrul body spring up.
“Pffttt….. Ptui.. ptui”
After he wake up he begin to spit at to the front. This act was done to remove the soil from his mouth that enter it when he asleep. After he spit for a few more time he then began to look at his surrounding right now.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Nasrul POV
“Ptui…ptui..”
Spitting a few more time to the front I then stopped. This is because I feel that the soil that in my mouth right now already gone.
“Urghh… my head it hurt again. It that time already, huh. Hah…..”
Every single time waking up from the stat when it enter new hour it really making my head have a headache. Why is it like that? Is it something wrong with me or it is something really normal here?
After confirming that my surrounding was save then I give a long sigh. I begin to look downward. The reason for me to look down not because I feel sad but it that I feel a bit of fear as the time goes on in this game. The toll it took on my body almost reach it threshold right now. I wonder how much long all of this I can take.
The fear it feel like it was intensified as it enter new set of time. It not something that can be easily be talked about when the fear originate from what I see previously that increase it.
What I fear all this time since the start of this game has become true already. It not that I afrai… yes, I am afraid but there were more thing that I am afraid it happened. I rather wish the feeling that I had at that time was not true and it only that my feeling play trick on me.
Alas the reality was not that kind to me, to us, that play this sick game. I wonder who was the one that made this kind of sick game that will kill us with time?
I wonder what that light means back then. It really shocking to me when a light that strong appear suddenly and especially without any warning because it blind my sight made me unable to see anything for a while.
With a complete darkness carrying a little light like this candle with the appearance of that light suddenly really made my heart to skip a beat. I thought the time has come for me to die but it not.
[what is that light just now really? It something that not normal]
Thinking about the source of that light right now make me think several thing that can cause it. What making I remember at that time was that plasma.
Plasma is kind of a flame that use a stable gas to form the flame using some electromagnetic properties. It not something that really gungho as it just a really one of the method that use a hot flame to increase the detection of some compound that usually cannot be detected using normal method.
The flash that came from that like feel like there also an electric flowing through it as all my hair on my body to stand at that time. It make one wonder if it really was plasma how did it was made here because as far as I know about the plasma to run even a little of it almost cost a fortune. If the person that made all of this never mind about the cost and then making all of this thing to feel really will not faze them.
[Hope that all of the incident here made by human. If not, I… do not know what that to do anymore]
A thought surface that hoping that all of this event all of it made by human not other kind of thing that exist in this world. With a thought that stop a little and then continue with the feeling of helplessness if it really some other thing that all of this were false.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Even though Nasrul thinking like that he want to denied that all of this not human made but deep in his heart he already know the answer to it. With all kind of thing that happen around him every now and then it already give an answer to his question.
“Sigh”
Given a sigh once again before moving my head to the direction to look at the sky while illuminated with a small candle at the left side. He give a small smile while looking at the sky.
“Hahaha”
Given a small laugh Nasrul then think about something that he feel that it was funny. Even though something horrible happening at the ground looking at the sky it only show a tranquility with a lot of star and including the appearance of the half-moon.
[Never though looking at the sky like this really give a tranquility, hahaha. Really make me laugh]
While me and other try to survive this nightmare that happening around the place, never thought even a little that there a place that give a peaceful feeling when you look at it. Looking more into the sky I never thought it give a feeling a sense of familiarity than the place I am right now. Even though every single day in this life I always look at the ground never though it can became a foreign place to me like I never stood on the ground.
Even though I am now in the foreign land, I thought right now, never in my wildest dream that the difference between the place I am familiar with and this place really big. Including the air that enter my lung when breathing to gain oxygen in the surrounding feel different than usual. It must be because of this place was another country not the country that I know.
What they say again? The difference in the location of the latitude and longitude show a differences between the concentrations of oxygen in the air. What effecting it again? Hmn…. The season and the distribution of the flora is it.
Thinking about that this the air here really clean is it. No smell of smoke from the car or the sound of a car moving in the night. The star on the sky also look beautiful. In my place that I am before it was a city so we never saw any star there. The only time we saw the star was that when there that program cool earth I think that ask us to switch off the lamp for one hour. Looking at the surrounding it seem really is true is it what I heard my friend always talk about. That the sky on the mountain fill with a lot of star really pretty and it something that you will never easily forget about.
Looking at the sky for a few more minute I then look down to the ground with my left fist clenched tightly. It seem seeing all this thing making my determination to survive had increase more than usual.
After that raising both my hand to the sky and then move both hand close to each other moving the finger and make it into a box like the how people want to take a photograph.
“Uhmn… it really beautiful. I need to get out of here and take this picture if I to see it again. Then let survive this game”
Saying my thought out loud to make my determination not falter feel really cliché making I wanna puke usually but this time only a small smile show on my face.
Standing up while taking the candle that was close to me, I then proceed to move to the objective that I need to find after dusting the soil at my cloth.
“Haih… it really shocking. Just wake up and find that Tom was in front of me. It good that for me manage to react making a countermeasure by looking to the ground but for him to peek his head in my sight while I still look at the ground, damn it really mess up. Really do not want to know what gonna happen if it make me sit there blankly. Need to look at the sky because of it. Hell… there enough time to monologue myself because of it. Damn”
‘Even with all this changing time why I feel like it colder now and it feel like that there was an invisible emanating from the surrounding. It increase in the change of time. Hope it do not affect myself’
With that thought in mind Nasrul then enter the sea of tree to find the rest of the clue with now in the fourth hour.
