I’m a beginner in all of this, it’s also my first time making an complicated story with horror elements.
Aslo I’m not a native English speaker, therefore I will make many mistakes about spelling and grammar. Sometime I may not able to explain things. So please be nice, I will definitely improve over time!
Well then, now that you understand a bit about the character overall backgrounds and personalities..
Note: The profile pictures of characters will be replace later! All the pictures used in this chapter is from picrew.
Chapter 1: "Sleepless night"
Omi
I know I’ve been awake till 5a.m by now.
Omi
if I have known this sooner, I wouldn’t have taken a five hours nap yesterday.
Omi
All because of that damn pile of homeworks that I’ve been procrastinated for weeks.
Omi
I didn’t know they are due tomorrow so I worked my ass of to get it done.
Omi
eventually I fell asleep of tiredness.
Omi
Well what could I do otherwise? At least I submitted the essay in time.
Omi
My grade is saved. But, I should really do something about this unhealthy habit..
Omi
Since class starts at 8a.m, I can still sleep for 2-3 hours, however I don’t think I can, I don’t even feel tired nor sleepy.
Omi
Now I bored.. at time like this, food come to rescue! I wonder if there’s any snack left..
Omi get off from her bed, she open the fridge and..
Omi
Impossible- an empty refrigerator?? Not even a bottle of milk? What have I done to my only life source?!
Omi
Come to think of it, I may have spent all of them on that pile of homeworks yesterday!!
Omi look at the clock on her wall
Omi
I guess it’s time to do some groceries.
Omi
however it 5:10a.m, I don’t know if the convenience store even open at this hours
Omi
I mean I did hear that they open 24/24 but I only shop there at daytime so I’m not entirely sure
Omi
well it’s not like I have anything else to do. Let’s just go.
Omi put on her coat, put on her shoes and walked out of her room. She went down the stairs, her footsteps were clearer than ever, especially at a time when everyone had not yet woken up to greet the new day.
Omi
now that I noticed, winter is on it way, which means only 6 months left until I graduate, time really flies isn’t it?
Omi
So quiet. It’s been a while since the last time I feel this calming, all the college preparation really worn me out.
Omi
I can hear the sound of my footsteps so clearly, and the sky… is astonishing.
Omi
I think maybe going out for a walk once in a while won’t be so bad.
After walking for 10 minutes, Omi is about to reach her destination when..
Omi
Okay go straight and now I just need to turn right here-
Omi
Is that a human eating… another human?
Shocked by the scene just now, Omi immediately hid behind the wall right where she stood
Omi
I hide without thinking, Wtf is that, am I mistaken? But the man clearly are chewing on her body.
Omi
Should I run? Should I call someone for help?! That woman could be dead, maybe some criminal escape from the prison?!
Omi
I have to slowly retreat without being noticed!
Just as she was about to retreat, Omi's foot hit a piece of gravel and make a tiny sound, enough to attract the hungry monster attention.
Omi
Damn it, I think it noticed!!
Omi
No no no I have to run but my legs won’t move, what should I do?!
Omi
Am I gonna be eaten as well?!
Chapter 2: "Morning groceries"
Omi
This isn’t some average horror story that the main protagonist got noticed by the monster and alive through plot twist!!
The monster is approaching slowly
Omi
Damn it, think, THINK!
Omi
my legs won’t move, I have to run, MOVE!
The monster is so near behind Omi hidden spot right now, she can hear it’s breathing, it’s too late for her to run.
Luckily the woman still alive and moaning for help, the monster turn around and continue to feast on her
The Woman
Agh..AGH.. IT’S HURT, SOMEONE HEL-
After that, the rest of the sound is so gruesome for anyone to listen
The chaotic screaming and the growling.. it’s too realistic
This is the worst horror game and Omi only have one life.
Omi
I have to get back home immediately!!
Omi
Please don’t run after me, please, almost there..
Omi suddenly bump to someone.
The landlord lady
“Oh my, what happened Omi?”
The landlord lady
“You look so pale, as if you seen a ghost”
Omi was being stunned for a moment, she carefully look behind her back to see that nothing there, she’s safe, after a sigh of relief she replies..
Omi
“I saw.. something horrible.”
Omi
I don’t know what to say, is it real just now or I just being delusional because of my empty stomach?
Omi
If I say I saw a person eaten alive, will she believe me?
The landlord lady look confused, offer to help Omi get up.
The landlord lady
“It’s rare to see you up so early in the morning?”
The landlord lady
“Normally your school start at 7:30a.m right? Is today a special day?”
Omi
“No, I’m just..hungry”
Omi
Maybe it was just my imagination, I’ve been watching a lot of horror movies lately
Omi
I can’t be sure if my brain playing tricks on me
Omi
but they felt so real..
Omi
let’s not think about it.
The landlord lady
“You’re hungry? In that case, here is some tuna fish, I got it for a good price this morning”
Omi
The seafood market usually open really early, but to go to the market this early..
Omi
“Umm.. could it be that your son coming back?”
The landlord lady
“Haha. You got me, that checky little boy finally come back to his mother after two years”
The landlord lady
“this time he bringing his wife and kids, finally I get to see my grandchild. Hahaha”
The landlord lady answer with excitement in her eyes, somehow make the horrible scene that Omi witnessed just a moment ago seem to be just a bad dream.
Omi
The landlord’s son..I met him two years ago before his departure for the southern city
Omi
I was helped a lot by him when I first come here for highschool.
Omi
He got married last year and this year they welcomed a little princess, I still remember the lady exciting told me the news months ago..
Omi
I can tell she’s genuinely happy for the newlyweds couple.
Omi
“I see..So that why you doing groceries this early”
The landlord lady
“Exactly, I’m going to make a grand lunch today, fancy to join us Omi? My son will definitely want to meet you”
Omi
“Oh no.. I don’t feel well today, perhaps I can stop by to say hello”
Omi
I don’t think I can keep up with this conversation after what just happened.
Omi
I hope I don’t appear too rude to this nice lady.
The landlord lady
“Sure! Take care of yourself better young lady”
The landlord lady
“Your pale complexion because you’re not eating properly again, aren’t you? I told you to stop eating those ramen cups, those are not nutritious for you!”
Omi
“I’m sorry, I will keep that in mind next time”
Omi
The landlord lady remind me of my mom, such an pleasant feeling.
Omi notice a red spot on the landlord lady, it appear to be a wound.
Omi
“Umm.. what is wrong with your hand?”
