Am I hearing something?!? I turned around and found no one. I surely heared a voice. Like from somebody who wants something out of me. But it’s Gibberish I couldn’t understand a thing. Who could it possibly be? Was it my inner conscience talking? An alter ego trying to keep me awake and stay focused? A whisperer? Or worst, a howling ghost asking for my help to do some of his unfinished business. Whoaaaaaah?? This is giving me goosebumps. Am I high on something or was it just a product of my wildest imagination? But it’s not enough to convince me. I’m sure I heared something. So I stilled there listening for a moment. And then went back to work as it suddenly stopped. But it freaked the hell out of me when the sound got louder again. Judging from the way I heared it, seems like it’s anywhere close to where I am sitting. But instead of getting stucked in paranoia, I decided to continue with what I am doing as I have lots of important things to catch up for the deadline and hoping it will just stop bothering by pretending I didn’t react to it.
But hearing those voices again has aggravated the pathetic side of me. Checked the area for a possible vantage point in an assumption somebody is just playing prank on me. While pretending to be busy, I conspiciously observed my surroundings. I jerked my eyes and took a quick glance around. On my left is a busy yet enthusiastic manager I admire trying to figure out a way to fix some patch error. At an 11th hour direction, a very responsible and reliable teamlead religiously checking everything is on track. And from my behind are my teamates, busy cranking up some codes. There was really no one. No signs of suspicion at all. But I was certain I really heared something. Is it my recently being in a melancholic mode the reason why these unexplained things are happening right now? Probably, having that emotional state awakens the clairvoyant side of me. Paranormal experts say that highly emotional people tend to emit spiritual aura that are thought to draw attention to some spiritual entities. Could this voice come from some Poltergeist or what is known as a “noisy spirit”? Oh please I hope not. I don’t want to see some things moving or like some apparitions materializing out of thin air. Or else I will really… end up a psycho. That’s a no-no. How can something like this be happening? I can hear some voices I could not understand what it was or where it came from. Am I losing some sense of sanity here? Whatever the message was, I could not decipher. I’m no psychic to do that whatsoever.
After a moment of spying, the alleged howling sound from a tormented soul suddenly disappears. So, I just continued with my work realizing it was all just an imagination. Delusions…This is what I get out of an exquisite stressful gaming sensation I’ve had over the past few nights. But my entire body was shock in fear upon hearing those sounds again. This time, it’s getting feircer and louder as if it tries to scare the hell out of me. Am I being haunted? What does it want from me? I’m sure whatever that entity was must have a very good reason why it gave me a damn freak. But why me? What does it have to do with me? What does it want from a person with such tremendous cowardice? His reasons must be super important I am being singled out. I am probably the only person who could help him from this bizarre situation. Oh yeah baby. In order to make a connection with this entity, I need to know where it exactly was. I looked upon the window. No, I didn’t find any noticeable thing. He’s probably up above the ceiling. Nope, it’s clean. Oh my gosh! The only place I haven’t checked was under my table. Thoughts suddenly rushed up to my mind. Could it be that Toshio boy from the Japanese horror film “The Grudge”? That croaking sound really scares me to death. I tried to keep still while listening again. The feircing voice emanated from somewhere below. The voice from within is getting so persistent I can’t wait to see what it really was. My body is trembling and my knees are shaking as I took all the courage to give it just one peek. This madness has got to stop to end my torment. Despite being petrified by fear, I bended over to check it out. It was.….. LUNCHTIME!!!. And I just ended up bursting myself into laughter.
