Little Girl on a Street
Swing
Jeffrey Chia works as a Advertising Executive in Kuala Lumpur.
He spends most his weekends in Melaka, where he grew up, where his mother still
live. She stubbornly refused to moved to Kuala Lumpur live with Jeffrey in his
home. As such, Jeffrey still travelled to Melaka regularly to spend with her
mother.
After dinner that night with her mother, Jeffrey, got ready
for a night out with his friends to go out to the pubs or karaoke. He enjoy
going to the pubs with his friends chit-chatting until they are practically
drunk. (Yeah! ...booze) When he got back at about 3am from the pubs he decided
to take a walk (to clear his head…ark!) before going home. He decided to go to
a children’s playground near to her mother’s house. Jeffrey remembered the
story about the playground and how a mother and daughter was killed in a senselessly
murder a few years ago.
When he arrived at the playground, he found the ground was
dark and gloomy with only lights from lamps from the street lights. He was surprised
at the swirling mists that suddenly engulf the entire playground, thinking that
it must be the cold night there. Suddenly he rapidly turned his head, in the direction
of singing, from the swing set. A little girl was swinging on the swing and
happily singing alone. Jeffrey immediately went to the swing set and said, “Don’t
you realized the time… you should be at home”.
She turned and looked at her briefly before averting her
eyes away. Jeffrey was annoyed and was about to say something nasty, when the
little girl moved away from the swing…she did not walk away…she floated away. Not
only that, the little girl floated away but she slowly disappeared into the
night.
Dumbfounded and scared shitless he immediately ran home.
