I'm a full time housewife and i'm 5 months pregnant with my first child. One night, after spending some time at my parents' house, i decided to go home. My parents and i live in the same area. The time was about 2245 pm.
My mother suggested that i stay back till the next morning since i was going to be alone at home as my husband was working night shift and he will only be home around 8 am the next morning.
But i disagree because i didn't want to trouble my parents. My old room has now been occupied by my younger brother. How can i sleep on his bed and let him sleep on the sofa, right? I didn't want to trouble my family. So i left.
My house is about 10 minutes away from my parents' place by car. But because I love walking, so i decided to walk home that night. If i walk, it will take about 15-20 minutes. As i was about to approach the bus stop, i noticed that there is an old woman seating there. She looked at me and smile so i smiled back. This was the first connection. Then she started to ask me questions.
"Going home alone, dear?" she asked.
"Yes aunty," i replied.
"Pregnant with your first child?" she asked again.
"Yes aunty," i replied.
"How many months already?" she asked.
"I'm 5 months pregnant," i replied.
"Where is your husband, dear?" she asked again.
"Oh, he's working. Night shift," i replied.
What she said next gave me the creeps.
"Ohh, pregnant 5 months. Husband at work, home alone"
"Ohh, pregnant 5 months. Husband at work, home alone"
She repeated this twice. Then she started to hold my baby bump. While stroking my stomach she said,

"Be careful okay dear. It's not safe out here," she said.
I started to feel uncomfortable and left the bus stop. I walked away faster than usual. I walked straight and turned right to my block. When i turned right, i can still see the bus stop from where i stand. I saw that the old woman was no longer there.
This made me more uncomfortable because no bus had come. So where did the old woman go?? I looked right and left but she was nowhere to be found. I quickly went into the lift but inside the lift, i smelled something very sweet. I live on the 7th floor. As the lift goes up, level by level, the smell grew stronger. I knew that something wasn't right or maybe something had followed me back!
Luckily my house is near the lift. I walked as fast as i can, unlock my main door and close it back and just when i was about take a breath, someone knocked on my door.
"THUD THUD THUD! THUD THUD THUD!"
I asked myself questions like,
"It's already 2310 pm. Who could it be??"
I didn't want to open the door because i feel like whoever is outside isn't good.
"THUD THUD THUD! THUD THUD THUD!"
My house is so empty that if i were to even take a breath it will sound very loud. I tried my best to keep quiet and not do anything. When there's no more knocking, i went into my room and change into my pajamas.
"THUD THUD THUD! THUD THUD THUD!"
I sat up in bed, when i realized the knock was coming from my window! I live on the 7th floor, so who could possibly be knocking? I know that something is disturbing me. It wants to get into my house! I started reading all the prayers that i know. After a while, it stopped knocking.

I felt thirsty all of a sudden so i went into my kitchen. Just when i step into the kitchen, oh my LORD!! I saw someone's face on my window. Of course i freaked out!
I went back into my room. I couldn't sleep that night. I didn't want to call my husband so i stayed up all night and read all the prayers i know. Luckily, the disturbance stopped there. I should have listened to my mother earlier when she asked me to stay over. I guess this thing disturbed me because i was pregnant.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
