"Alexandra! Help me... Please help me! Help me, please! "
Ugh! A bad dream. I woke up with that horrible scream of a lady in my mind. It is the second time to dream with that kind of illusion. Well, never mind! As if I care. It's just a chimera.
With drowsy eyes, I looked around and realized that I'm in a van with my five workmates, we are on a road trip to do some research about the property of the company we are working to. And yeah! I put my earphones to stop hearing their nonsense conversation. I hate people!
Suddenly, the darkness of the clouds swallow the entire place and start to drop its heaviest tears. The wind blows brawnily making the trees dance in a smoky-foggy place. There's a lot of floating and detrimental object on the road so our team decided to look for a hotel to stay in until morning. But unfortunately, we are in a Barrio and we can't find a place to go. Then, our driver saw an abandoned building and we go there with no choice.
Walls are coated by the black-gloomy charcoal, the ceiling with ambient leakages creates a hair-raising sound that goes through my spine, there's a lot of stray pieces of broken bottles that seems like it's preserved there for a long time -- a totally creepy place! But whatever it is, I'm going to sleep. And as the night goes deeper and the storm gets stronger, the frightening moment begin. My workmates scream causing to wake us. "Did you hear that? There's someone going up and down the stairs! ", she said. My eyebrows raise and lines in my face showed as she muttered that. I'm so pissed! Can't she see? I'm sleeping! It's 2 is in the morning, I'm so tired so I just let them scare themselves.
As I close my eyes, their words of trepidation keep on traveling in my head. Flabbergastingly, the footsteps in the stairs blared loudly! It continuously makes clangorous noise. I thought was the only thing that dreads us, but again I'm wrong. Two children ages five to seven unanticipatedly run around us and keeps on laughing in scary tone. Their voice remains in my head and keeps on bothering me even though they are gone. We also hear people crying and screaming in pain. What a forbidding experience. My workmates keep on praying, hoping that the storm ends to go out this hell. But I remain calm. I just act like I'm sleeping but the real is it gives me goosebumps.
After few minutes, everything goes back into silence. We thought that it was over so we decided to go to sleep. But it just the beginning of the endless terrifying night. "Alexandra! Help me... Please help me! Help me, please! ", the woman said with her cracking and broken voice in my illusion. It's 3 am in the morning. I know it just my usual nightmare. But I feel the cold wind embrace me and now she is whispering in my ears. The whisper becomes shout. Then suddenly, it forced open my eyes! As I look around, I saw the most horrendous image of a lady that marks in my mind for the rest of my life. Het whole body was burned and starting to decompose, her left eye was just hanging from its socket, worms are eating her flesh causing to expose her bones particularly her skull. And now, she is on my side and hugging me. She keeps on screaming for help. I can't move. I can't speak. Everything goes ghastly and terrifying. She touches my face and keeps on saying my name. "Alex help me! Aaahhhh! Aaahhhhh...", she said before giving her long-last breath. Then everything goes black. I passed out.
I woke up in the next morning, the weather is fine. We immediately leave the building with the allowance of horrible memories. We find out that the building is a former hospital and a hide out of Filipino soldiers from the Spaniards. The then year 1884, a blast came in the hospital. Hundreds of people were burned alive. After that, the spirit of the people who died there remain screaming in pain and begging for help. But the question here is, why the spirit know my name? Who is she?
