《Short Ghost Stories》7) Spirit Of The Coin
Advertisement
Location : Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Sender : Miss Hidayu
This happened at my school hostel which is located in Johor Bahru. I was studying far away from home and so i decided to live in the school's hostel to save money on transportation.
In every room there are 4 beds. I have 3 room mates. All girls because it's a girls' hostel. We became very close quickly and we did everything together.
One night, 3 of us (me and my friends Aliya and Hanis) decided to play a game called : Spirit of the Coin. I wish i could turn back time and not play the game at all. Spirit of the coin is something like the Ouija board. We had the board, you know the basic alphabets lined up neatly, and at the top corner of the board, left and right, there are the 'YES' and 'NO' words.
So when we first started playing it, we were like joking around and didn't take it seriously. Like come on, it's the 21st century. Do ghosts still exist? We were like pushing around the coin on our own. Then suddenly one of my friends decided to get serious about the game.
"Come on let's start playing it seriously. No more pushing around the coin on purpose," said Aliya.
"Alright," both me and Hanis agreed.
All of us placed one finger on the coin. I did the questioning.
"Is there any spirit in this room with us?" i asked.
Nothing happened. The coin didn't move. It was very quiet and the whole aura of the room became very tense.
"Is there any spirit of a small kid in this room?" i asked again.
Again nothing happened.
"Is there any spirit of an elderly in this room?" i continued the questions.

Suddenly, the coin moved towards the 'YES' sign!
"Hey! It's not funny!" Hanis shouted as she removed her finger off the coin.
"Who moved the coin?!" Aliya asked sternly.
All of us denied removing the coin.
"I'm not playing this game anymore. I'm done" Hanis said.
I know i did not move the coin. Both of my friends denied moving the coin. Both of them were looking very tense. I know my friends too well and i know that they're not lying. So we decided to call the night off and went to bed.
But the disturbance did not stop there. As you all know there are 4 beds in every dorm. My bed was right at the corner and usually i would face the wall when i sleep. Which means my back is facing the rest of the room and my friends slept facing my back.
As i was about to sleep, i heard someone singing behind me in a very low voice.
"Knock, knock, knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock on the door"
"Hey it's not funny!" i shouted back without turning my head.
I really thought it was either Hanis or Aliya trying to scare me. At that point of time, i didn't realize that both my friends were sound asleep. It sang again. This time it gave me goosebumps!
"Knock, knock, knock on the door. Knock, knock, knock on the door. Knock, knock, i'm behind you, my child"
When i heard that, i screamed my lungs out! I knew this isn't coming from any of my friends. It did sounded like one of them though. That voice alone freaked me out! I didn't have the guts to turn around to see what was standing behind me. I think after it knew that i had realize what's going on, it left me alone.
After that incident, i never played that game anymore, no matter how much my friends pester me to. That is one incident i will never forget.

Slime migration

With his friends dying left and right, what will happened to the humanity we knows as. Will Kip remain the same person he always was, or will he changed into something else? Hey guys, thank you for checking out my work. I've read so many novels on this site and it inspired me to write my own story. I've been studying English for about 2 years now and thought this would be a good opportunity to increase my writing skill at the same time. I am currently studying my degree at a University so I'll continue to edit and write more chapter whenever it's convenient for me to do so (which is like, all the times haha). My first work can turn out to be a bit crude, but I hope you guys will be patient and allow little small slime to grow. Thanks!!!

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.

Also this is my first novel, I wanna put all the ideas in my head into an actual story so I thought I'd give it a go, constructive criticism is welcome as long as it's helpful. P.s I'm not doing a prologue mainly because all you need to know about how he died is in the Synopsis, I might do a chapter with the council of God's if people want it.
