The Murder Case of Erika

She could only felt that her vision was slowly fainting. The event that had happened to her was beyond her control. She couldn't move, her feet, arms, body were all freezing in pain, all she ever remembered was she's slowly falling into the deep abyss and had seen the knot tangled to her legs.

Then, everything was slowly fading until she couldn't open her eyes anymore. There, her life was taken. Erika died.

She opened her eyes and saw that she's already riding in a truck van. She's sitting near to the open door facing the busy street as the truck was in its fast speed. She suddenly realized that she had the traces of the knots in her, then she remembered, she was fallen to a deep abyss. She thought she had survived and maybe someone helped her.

As soon as the van stopped, she hurriedly hopped out of the van. She decided to go home and would like to meet her parents and loved ones to tell them about what had happened. But as she's strolling towards her home, she wondered why everyone was so strange. They seemed cannot see her at all. She greeted them but no one responded. They could not hear her.

Finally, Erika came home. She was shocked, everyone was grieving. Her family was crying and missing someone. There she had heard that they're grieving because of her death. She wanted to talk to them that she's alive but no one could hear her.

And she kept on walking around her house like a ghost, though she was but she couldn't accept it. Until a little boy felt her presence and looked back as she called him.

She told the little boy, "I am alive. I am not dead. Please tell my parents, my family..."

The boy just nodded and left.
