THIRD EYE

They say it's not safe anymore to walk alone in streets every night because of the suspicious appearance of this 'white van' which is suspected for the abduction of these children and young teenagers who were recently reported missing.

Persistent allegations have been made by people that these helpless children and teens were abducted for organ transplant. As what I have read in an article, organs like liver, lung, pancreas, kidney ranges for about $116,000-$250,000 and higher depending on the buyer in United States mandated in 2005.

It was 9PM and I'm walking alone. The night was cold and dark. I began to feel the wind blowin' through my skin. I have this strange feeling that someone was following me. I tried to calm myself as I turned back. I saw a young boy. I felt melancholia as I looked into his eyes. Kahit sobrang lakas na ng kabog ng puso ko pilit ko paring kinalma ang sarili para kausapin siya.

"Bakit mo 'ko sinusundan bata?" mahinahon kong tanong.

"Nawawala po ako ate." tipid niyang sagot.

"Alam mo bang delikado nang maglakad sa daan mag-isa. May puting van na nangunguha ng bata," paalala ko sa kaniya but it looks like he doesn't care anymore.

"Matagal na akong kinuha ng puting van at wala na rin silang makukuha sa'kin ngayon. Dito nila tinapon ang katawan ko at ikaw palang ang unang taong nakakita sa akin pagkatapos nilang kunin ang mga lamang loob ko. Ate, gusto ko lang namang makita ang mama ko."

My third eye is open again.
