Something Fresh BY -D-

here's one right off the oven. happened last month when the school holiday started...

if you've read my story about the noisy tile, it takes place in the same area. if you're too lazy to search; at my place, there's an extension at the back my dad and the family made years ago. it's basically an outside cooking area with a tiled floor and a simple zinc roof with a single small wall where we cook. also to note is the neighbour next door who just moved in around last year. like us, they made a few modifications to their place. one of em' is basically a complete mirror to our cooking area; just right next to our cooking area, they made an outside store/laundry area with a zinc roof. only difference is that their roof is a tad bit lower than ours. they then followed it up by constructing a concrete wall, a bit lower than their roof and really close to said area, around their place.

anyway; it was around 2.30 AM, saturday morning. woke up suddenly cuz my tummy kept telling me to go "drop a deuce" (a.k.a "pinch a loaf" a.k.a "nature calls" a.k.a beria). with the exception of me, my older sis, the maid and the gardener, everyone else was in Miri at the time.

as i was about to make my way to the toilet, i could hear some cats hissing outside, of which i assumed a fight was about to start. after dropping off a couple at the toilet, i could hear the neighbour's back door opening (which leads to their laundry area), and not long after that, a loud and quick screeching. at the time, i assumed the screech came from one of the cats as my neighbour tried to stop the fight. it wasn't till around 2 weeks ago i found out what really happened.

a few days after that night, a man knowledgable in the supernatural came to our house to "purify" our place (i was out at the time of his visit). his reason; during the night i mentioned earlier, my neighbour's wife had forgotten to bring in the clean laundry earlier that day. as she went out to the laundry area, she gave out a quick loud screech and quickly went back into the house.

what did she see that scared the life out of her? a set of greenish/grayish rotting feet standing, perching if you will, on top of the concrete wall they erected, toes pointing to their house, with the rest of the body being completely blocked by the zinc roof above their laundry area.
