《Short Ghost Stories》32) Something Happened During Video Call
Advertisement
Location : Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Sender : Mr Zaidi
This incident happened in one of the hotels in KL, Malaysia. I was there on work purposes. They had given me the apartment room, which is, quite frankly too big for a bachelor like me.
In the apartment room of this hotel, there are 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and the living hall. They had given me this room to stay for 4 days. I'm a lazy person when it comes to unpacking so i haven't unpack much since i arrived about 3pm earlier.
I am quite close to my mother. She had video called me on Whatsapp later that night while i was watching tv in my hotel room. So we were just chit chatting, the random talks. Then i told my Mum,
"Mum hold on for a bit. I want to make coffee for myself."
I needed both hands to make coffee so i left my phone on the table while my Mum still on the line. I had on loudspeaker while i video called my Mum. Okay so when i placed my handphone on my table in the hotel's living room, all my Mum could see on her phone screen was the living room's ceiling. I had gone to make my coffee when suddenly,
" ASTAGHFIRULLAH HAL AZIM!! YA ALLAH!! ASTAGHFIRULLAH HAL AZIM!! " my mother shouted some Islamic prayers.
I was so shocked when i heard she said that so loudly. I rushed back to the living room.
" Mum?! What happened?! "
I repeatedly asked my Mum about what happened but she kept on reading prayers and i had to wait for about 3 minutes long till she finally respond to me again.
" Zaidi, who is in the hotel room with you?! " my Mum panicked.
" Huh? I'm alone, Mum. What happened?? " i told her.

" Really you are all alone in that room?? Oh Lord! Please save my son! " her reply started to make me feel worried.
" You call me back. Normal voice call. I don't want to video call you anymore!" my Mum said.
She put down the phone but immediately gave me a voice call after that.
"Zaidi, Oh Lord! Zaidi, please request them to change your room. Please!" my Mum begged me.
" Why Mum? " i asked her but she wont gave me an answer for a few minutes.
"Just now.. when you placed your phone on the table, i saw something! I saw a woman.. looking at me through your phone! "
"HUH!?!!" i was in shock.
" Oh Lord! Zaidi, her face was so so scary!! " my Mum added.
" Mum you hold on for a while. Don't hang up. " i told Mum.
I went to check the whole apartment. Then, i told Mum,
" Mum.. i don't feel good. I can feel that something is not right. I felt goosebumps all over my body.."
"Zaidi you.. you go pack your things now and leave that room right away! Tell the hotel staff to switch you into another room! Or even switch to another hotel..later Mum will cover the payment. Please Zaidi! " my Mum sounded more panicked than before.
Suddenly...
' KREEEK! '
The thing had started playing with my bedroom door. At that moment, i felt so scared. Seems like the entity had made its presence more obvious to me. I was lucky i haven't unpack all my things. Quickly, i took away my luggage and left the room immediately and return to the lobby. It took them about an hour to finally find another room for me.
That was my very first experience with the supernatural and i hope not to encounter any of it again. Thank you.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
