i was peacefully minding my own documents a couple of minutes ago when the fan turned itself off and there was some static coming out of my speakers. you know this feeling of dread that suddenly comes up to you when you get freaked out? well i was wrapped in it. i looked behind me and saw myself in the mirror. i faced the screen again for fear of seeing something else with my reflection. i noticed that my door was slightly opened so i kicked it shut just to avoid the possibility of seeing something unearthly outside my room. tangina, bad vibes na nga, super praning pa.
my parents tell me that ever since i was little, i never minded the darkness like most kids. but then , when one is young, we don't have much to fear. the bogeymen and the rest of the monsters did nothing for me. but now, at 23, i realized that a lot of things can be deathly scary.
my imagination included.
