"Count 1 to 10, and look for me. Come and find me" Kids running around happily, playing their hide and seek game. My cats seem to have their sweet time resting themselves on the soft red sofa. That was our daily routine in these neighbourhood.
Things were just fine as far I remember until we were shocked due to a loud scream followed by the sound of screeching.
Everything happened in a blink of eyes. It took me few seconds to search for the sound especially the scream just now.
Then I heard a loud cries "Noooooooooooo Johnyyyyyy" The boy that live next door to me was knocked badly by a huge black van. His body was full of blood. I rushed to the scene and his hand was barely recognize, all I saw was blood.
The dark tar of the road was splashed by blood. Some stain remains on the van number plate too. Then, I step on something. It was soft and round in shape that I thought it was a baseball. I wonder why nobody realized that white ball-like thing covered with blood.
I can feel my body shaking. My whole body was cold. Out of fear, I kicked it and I don't know it's whereabouts after that. That was the day when I started to hear a familiar voice out of my windows, sometimes under my bed, when I was in the shower, or my closet. It says "Can I have yours?"
