I tried to stay calm as the strangers approached me "Who are you?" I asked trying to keep my voice steady.
The strangers smiled, their eyes glitches with amusement "My names are not important," they said at the same time, what the hell was going on.
"What's important is that you're receiving the messages" the said again.
I took a step back, trying to create some distance between us, it was obvious I had run into some phycho and god knows what the may do to me "Wah What do you know about the messages? I said as I tried to stop my words from shaking.
my mind racing with different thoughts, so it was does shit heads sending me does text and trying to scare me," wait! So it's been you sending does messages!" I said and this time the fear in me suddenly washed away, I was so pissed I could feel my blood boiling, i was being stalked, I carefully reached out to my pockets, the left pocket had my cigarette and lighter and the right had my phone, I couldn't take the two down and even if the where people around I didn't know what to do except to call the police.
The stranger chuckled to my reaction as if looking at a new born lion
"Just know, it's just the beginning," they said "You're being pulled into something much bigger than yourself"
I frowned giving dead stares to them, unsure what to make of this critical situation except that my phone was in my pocket but I didn't think it was okay to bring it out cause if did the will have time to run away, while my phone was in my pocket I carefully tried to call 911 while I kept them busy "What do you mean?" I said with a scared voice this time around, I needed to sound scared, if the police had received my calls then the should be listening to our conversations.
The stranger leaned in, their voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "The messages are a test," they said,
"get away from me" I said as I saw the leaned close, everything was perfect.
"A test to see if you're ready for the what is to happen, the truth" the said.
I felt a shiver run down my spine it was fear "What truth? What are you talking about stay away" I asked, my curiosity speaking faster than I could process before realising the call I was making.
The strangers smiled again "All in good time you will know" they said "For now, just know that you're being watched and soon you'll be expected to make a choice"
With that, the stranger turned around and I didn't wait for anyone to tell me, I brought out my phone.
"help the are getting away!" I shouted as I brought the phone to my face while looking at the two people walking away, I glanced on my phone with expectations but something was wrong, it was not the police I had dialled, it was Go hey shin.
"shit" I said as I quickly cut the call and saw that the strangers disappeared into the crowd, leaving me feeling more confused and more than a little frightened.
Out of everyone in my contact list I dialled my team leader number, the devil him self, somehow 911 managed to end up as figures in his phone number.
As I walked back home, I couldn't shake the feeling that my life had some mystery added which made me taste for more details my boring life was not helping "haaaa I most be going psycho like does idiot"I mumbled to myself as I seemed to be interested in something like that.
I couldn't shake off the stranger's words.
"You're being pulled into something much bigger than yourself huh !" There echoed in my mind like a warning bell, long after the mysterious Psychos disappeared into the crowd Annoying
As I walked home, I noticed strange symbols on the walls and buildings they seemed to pulse with an energy making it a bit blurry and I felt a chill run down my spine again just like the one does strangers gave me I tried to brush it off as mere paranoia, but the feeling still Stayed.
Was I enjoying this?
Why was this happening to me? Why now? I thought back to my ordinary life, my regular routines on my day off What had changed? The stranger's words had unsettled me, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was indeed caught up in something diabolic cause it was getting scary it seemed more than drugs or human trafficking, haaaa I laugh.
I finally arrived home, exhausted from what had happened to me, I made sure that I was not followed, I had thought of going to the police station and make a report but I just went back home, Sunday my only day off from work was supposed to be a time to relaxation peacefully and quietly even still I would have gotten a clear head to create an amazing AD for the company and maybe get promotion "hahaha optimistic ohh yes I am, But Instead, I felt like I was drowning in uncertainty, I could not think of anything, my brain was not going to be creative after what had happened today, I had to call go hey shin and apologise for earlier.
I took out my phone and everything in my jacket and dropped them on the table in the sitting room and then took off my jacket.
I dialled my team leader number, it rang and rang till finally he picked, at that moment I realised I had not planned on what to say exactly.
"hello" Go hey shin said.
As I head his deep voice I immediately came back to my senses I needed to say something.
"hi sorry I called earlier it was a mistake" I said with a nervous voice.
"Are I see" he said.
I was about to explain what had had but the the next thing I head was a loud beep, he had ended the call.
"He had obviously heard the conversation he would at least call the police or asked if I was okay, what an annoying piece of garbage" I said to my self as I threw my phone to the couch and walked upstairs.
I took a hot shower, trying to wash away the unease feeling and the annoyance I felt after talking to Go hey shin, I then collapsed on my bed Staring at the ceiling, I couldn't help but question my existence "What's happening to me?" I whispered aloud as I stretched my hands reaching for nothing,I was trying to remember my mother's face "Okasa" I said, it was what I called her.
The next day
I returned to work, and life seemed to return to normal, the stranger's words faded away as I settled into my daily life routine, Days passed without any unusual events or occurrence, obviously I tried to avoid Go hey shin.
I felt a sense of relief wash over me like i needed it so badly, i felt deep down i was running away from what was about to happen, or was i convincing my self that lie? I was happy, but it was a little happiness, a feeling of merely going through the motions, something that was going to change.
