《Short Ghost Stories》21) Road trip to Kelantan
Advertisement
Location : Pahang, Malaysia
Sender : Mr Aiman
This happened 2 years ago. I will give you a background image first and then we will go on with the creepy part of the story. So me and 3 of my friends, Hakim, Zul and Alif decided to go on a short road trip to Kelantan by van from Singapore. We went out early in the morning and we followed the GPS to reach the location. We didn't have any map with us. Along the way, we did have pit stops in Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan to eat and refresh ourselves. We also saw old Japanese cemeteries and there was an abandoned airport site. Soon, we arrived at one spot which we found perfect for camping.
Unfortunately we didn't know which exact location it was but we know it was somewhere in Pahang. Our view was the beach and the rest of the area was covered with thick forest. Even though our camping area was quite a distance from the water, we could still feel the breeze. To us, it was perfect camping site. It was already past 7pm after we complete setting up our tent and the camp fire. Our van was parked on a good location in the woods just next to our campfire. The tent however was used to keep the camping stuff eg food and all that.
Our van was the resting place. The back door of the van, we left it open so that we don't feel hot while sleeping. We had pushed forward all the seats. The back part of the van was just nice for 4 people to lie down. We did set up a big anti-insect net at the back part of the van and its the only thing covering/protecting us when we sleep. It prevent insects from disturbing us at night.
Alright here comes the creepy part. So the driver, Zul had already gone to sleep because he was very tired and Alif on the other hand was busy calling his girl friend. Both of them were resting inside the van.

So left me and Hakim outside, just chilling near the camp fire. Hakim, the singer wannabe, brought along his guitar. He started strumming and singing at the same time.
"Hey hey...stop singing for a while.." I called out to him.
"What is it man..i just wanna sing.." he said while frowning at me.
The reason why I told him to stop was..i heard something creepy. So he started to sing again...and I heard it again.
"Aye, i'm serious. Just stop for a while..and listen.." I whispered to him, giving him a serious look.
Before he could respond, he froze and looked at me with a shock. He heard it too. It sounded like a woman crying or singing. We can't really tell. Earlier, it was very soft. But this time, it sounded really clear like as if its very near us. Quickly, we started cleaning everything. The sound became closer and now it sounds like a woman singing.
"Aiman..." Hakim hold my arm while his eyes was looking at something behind me.
I turned around and saw... a woman in white, her long hair was covering her face but her hands! They were so long that it touched the ground. The creepy sound was coming from her! We freaked out and quickly brought in all the necessary stuff into the van. All the way it didn't stop singing. We were really frightened at that point of time. We left the camp fire burning. We got into the van and pulled down the net to cover us.
"Oi...what is wrong with you two?" Alif shouted.
"Alif, put down the phone now!" I whispered to him.
"I'm talking to my girlfriend lah .... wait a minute...what's that?!" he asked. Now he too hears it.

"Just put down the phone first.." I whispered again.
"You, I call you back.." Alif told his gf.
"Oi..what's that sound?!" he whispered to me. He looks concerned.
"Just now we were just chilling near the camp fire and then we heard a sound ... then we saw a woman in white..right Hakim?" I explained.
"Yeah we heard it and we saw it.." Hakim said.
"Hmm... why are you guys making so much noise? I'm trying to sleep... omg...what's that?" Zul who was sleeping suddenly woke up and looked at us for some answers.
Our frightened looks was enough to give him the answer. The sound of a woman singing didn't stop at all. That night, just imagine. While lying down, we read prayers that we know non-stop until we fall asleep. We woke up the next morning and the sound was gone. We quickly cleaned up and left the place. We had done many camping trips but this was the first time we encountered the supernatural. It was a good lesson for us and one experience we will never forget.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
