Short Story (Small Creature)

When I was working in Shipyard at Subic Bay, I was having my break time at 12:00 to 1:00 a.m. since I was working on night shift. My co-worker, who was living in Calaguiman, Samal Bataan, told me a story about his experienced in that place. He also elaborated that the name of their place was also means a place of dread.

It was on the month of March when they were vacationers from Manila arrived in their place. My co-worker said that those vacationers were all pretty. As the night fall, Chris, my co-worker in Shipyard, hang out with his friends outside their house to see those pretty vacationers who just arrived in their place.

They were in the dim place where there are no lights so that the vacationers will not see them. As the time passed, they saw a man who is crossing the street to go in the house of the vacationers. When the man is crossing the street, they saw some little creatures that were following him. Those were not surely children since it was already late at night and they were not allowed to go outside. Because of what they saw, they were screaming and very scared so they decided to go home.

Since that accident, Chris and his friends were not going outside to hang out. Until now, those little creatures that they saw following the man is still a puzzle to them. Chris also described those little creatures to me that their height did not reach the man’s knee and their head was somewhat big.

The 1980’s Love Tragic: Loving Eternally

Before I started to work as SEO, I worked as ship welder and fitter in a Korean Company. Sometimes, our schedule re-shuffle, you can work in the morning or even at night. My schedule turned at night shift and I finished my work early by around 11 p.m. Even though we were finished, we cannot go outside the site since there is a security guard in the gang way, so I decided to have some rest at the deck of the ship. There is also one security guard in that area. We started having conversion and he begun telling me about a tragic story that was happened in the 1980’s.

That story happened 20 years ago but the guard said that it is one of his sister’s stories that he will never forget. This story really happened to his sister name Jane and her best friend Aisa. It was a Saturday morning when Aisa told his sister that she want to break up her boyfriend name Leo because she does not love him anymore. Jane advised her to think about it first before making any move towards their relationship. That is why her best friend and her boyfriend talked about it.

Sunday morning when Leo came at their house and he go to a full-size mirror to see what he looks and comb his hair. Jane was shocked since she knew that Leo did not entering their house without having permission to them. So Jane asks him what he is doing in their house. She also noticed that he is wearing a white polo. Leo answered that he and Aisa will go to church. When Leo decided to go outside, he met Aisa in the hallway and they begun having argument. Jane heard them since she was very near to Aisa and Leo. She also heard that Aisa said that she really wanted to call it quits, but Leo answers that they will never separate whatever happens.
