***************

I turn back to see a figure of someone squatting not too far from me.

That figure was wearing white clothes and long black hair.

'oh god... a horror scene right from the start.'

My mind thought seeing it. But,

drop*

I can hear a drop-by-drop sound of something dripping coming from that direction.

'is it crying?'

was what I thought over the time I heard it. However, it's kind of weird to call it the sound of crying.

'I can't hear it's sobbing though...'

After all, aren't people crying including the sound usually?

drop*

But the sound didn't stop, making me more confused.

'haa..really... just what's going on? should I just go to it?'

i sighed as I finally found the brave to move towards it.

I kind of feel guilty seeing it squatting down like that, although i didn't do anything wrong in the first place.

step step step*

I walk slowly towards it.

sob*

maybe because i was quite far from it, I can't hear its sobbing before and i can't even distinguish it as a man or woman. But now that I move closer to it, the sound of its cry now becomes more apparent. And I become convinced that this voice and the owner of this body is a woman.

'she's really crying.'

Although I had guessed it, to think that she really crying, felt quite wrong to me.

gulp*

I gulp down my saliva as I am already near her enough.

her back was still facing me, but now I can see clearly that her body was trembling while sobbing.

Yet at that moment, a thought suddenly pop up inside my head.

'what if she isn't human?'

After all, this is hell, we never know what will pop up.

'ah... really... should i run? but what if i run and she chases?'

it's gonna turn scary if that is the case. That's why i just decide,

'let's just try to talk to her.'

After all, there's nothing wrong to know it first before jumping to a conclusion, right?

'alright... let's do this.'

I thought as i take a deep breath before calling to her,

"Miss... is there something wrong?"

I asked cautiously as I move closer to her to touch her shoulder.

However, before i even manage to do so, suddenly.

flinch*

the woman gets up from her squatting and her sobbing stop abruptly, making me flinch unconsciously.
