574 Words
“Help me, help me.” Mandy heard a faint sound coming somewhere. Today, she got lost in the woods while trying to find Lubi, her dog. She doesn’t know why that dog loves wandering around.
Startled, Mandy looked around. There’s no one. Where could the sound possibly come from?
“Help me, help me.” The sound became a moan. “Please help me.”
Mandy looked around again. Then she walked a little further.
“Please help…” The sound is getting louder.
“Where are you? I can help you!” Mandy progressed.
“Please…” The sound is getting louder and louder. Mandy is getting nearer and nearer. She can feel it. She can hear the voice getting louder and louder. She knows she can find the person asking for help soon. Not far from her, she saw a pile of soil. Oh my God, please don’t tell me the person asking for help is buried in a hole.
She walked nearer and nearer until she can see the opening of the hole that seems to be freshly dug. From her distance, she could swear that she can see a man’s head covered in blood. She was surprised. She hurriedly went nearer to the hole. The man was indeed unconsciously lying inside the hole. His face and head are covered with blood. His hands and feet are bloody as well. The wounds on his chest and stomach area reveal that he has been stabbed a lot. Blood was oozing fast from his wounds.
How can I bring this man up from the hole? Mandy was assessing the situation. He is bigger and taller than me. Also, the whole is around 10 feet deep. Obviously, I can’t bring him up all by myself. I need a rope and other people to help me out. Mandy was so engrossed in thinking for ways to help this man up. Suddenly, she was stuck in the head. “Ah!” she screamed in pain.
The next thing she knows is that when she lifted up her head, she is beside the bloody man on the hole. Oh, she fell down and sustained injuries, too. “I-I can’t lift my body up,” she uttered in horror. Her feet was fractured due to the sudden fall. Then she felt hot liquid falling down her forehead. With her hand, she touched it and saw that it is blood. Am I gonna die here?
Suddenly, soil fell from the opening of the whole. Oh, she is sure that someone is trying to bury them alive. “No!” She panicked. “Help us. Help us. Don’t do this!” She shouted when she realized what was happening. However, no one seems to be listening. The person above just keeps throwing soil at them.
“No! No!” Mandy was struggling and shouting when she woke up. Ah, it was a dream. No, a nightmare to be precise. Her eyes are filled with tears and she was breathing heavily. The nightmare seemed real. She thought she’s gonna die.
Ring! Ring! Her cellphone on the bedside table rang. She automatically picked it up.
“Hello?”
“Mandy? Mandy?” It is Laila on the other side, breathing heavily. From her voice, Mandy is sure that she is scared of something.
