In the eve of new year of 2010, and as his usual custom was, Mike hung out with some hommies to have some bottles of drink. Well, just as it was expected, few bottles turned out to be crates and everyone was pretty drunk. By midnight, Mike decided to go home to have some rest as his head was already aching due to excess liquor. Mike's house was quite far from the venue of the gathering and he could not get a connecting vehicle to get home, so he decided to trek.

The road was far simply because the short cut had been abandoned by locals because of cases of ghost-sighting that had been reported along the road. Well, Mike, acting under the influence of alcohol, decided to take the road. In his mind, he already concluded that "mehn, it's new year eve and the ghosts would be busy with other activities".
On progressing through the road, it was quite lonely and undulating, with slight drizzles hitting Mike. Well, he did not notice anything unusual about the road until the was half way through the road. He heard a little dimal noise with a small flash of light which fizzled out almost immediately. It did not cause much fear in Mike and he continued. "Well, I'm almost through", he reassured himself, but he was wrong this time.
As he moved, he discovered that the road got unusually longer and at that instance, the effect of the alcohol cleared from his eyes and a cold sensation rested on him like something bad was about to happen. At that moment, he began to hear noises inside the woods as if it was people trading inside the woods.
Unusual enough, how will people be trading by that odd hour of the day? More so, why would the trade be done inside the woods? Now, the one that sent shock waves down his spine was when the heard the language that they spoke. Mike, being a foreigner, he was surprised to hear the supposed traders speaking his dialect fluently.
This was when he knew something was very off. He was already trembling and to worsen the matter, he did not see the people that were making the noise but it was getting stronger and more distinct.

As Mike was almost finally at the edge of the road, he saw a little girl (if he would call the creature, girl) by the way side. At first, he thought she was scared and helpless but as he moved towards her, she lifted up her face and exposed the worst nightmare Mike has even seen. I mean, there was no facial feature on her face (no ears, eyes, mouth nor nose), but mysteriously, she spoke with a very monotonic voice: "RUN", and that was the least he could remember. What happened that night has remained a mystery to him and how he survived the ordeal is beyond explanation.
