An Apparition At My Bedroom

This very early morning, I had something terrific. Well, that really is terrifying that I still remember how minutes went so slowly and made me sick. Some of us are 'lucky' enough to see apparitions of metaphysical creatures, the creatures which the existence is hard to logically explain. And I'm probably one of those lucky people who can see apparitions, or at least have seen an apparition once in a life. How they control their fear is the key to cope with the apparitions, but some people are not good enough to control their fear, and I'm the one who cannot control my fear.

Well, here the story goes...

I woke up this morning at 4a.m. It was quite very early in the morning, even the sun hadn't risen yet. I was half-awake and I looked around my room. I didn't know what had gotten into my mind but suddenly I thought about a friend of mine who got her horror experience in her bedroom. She had seen "jumping bolster" (Indonesian should have known this term) in her bedroom, causing her not to sleep all night long. I was frightened but I had to cope with drowsiness so I tried to keep my eyes open.

Unfortunately, I slowly fell asleep and when I heard knocks on the door, I quickly opened my eyes. To my surprise, I saw something strange in the facing-side of my bed. My eyes couldn't see clearer, but my brain could predict what was happening. I suddenly remembered the story of my friend and guessed what I saw. That "jumping bolster" was right in front of me! I tried not to scream so I closed my eyes fearfully but it was so hard to close my eyes! While I prayed, I saw another apparition in the other side of my bedroom. That apparition was seen clearer, as a standing-deadman covered in white cloth. And the worse thing was, I saw two apparitions at the same time in my bedroom. I recited some prayers and closed my eyes. As I prayed that those apparition would disappear, I tried to open my eyes slowly. And, they were gone!

It was a hard dawn for me. Now I'm afraid I cannot sleep in my bedroom as usual tonight...
