A CASUAL NIGHT

"Ma'am nandito na po tayo." The driver told me. I looked outside and there it was,the biggest Hotel in the metro standing tall and proud. The busiest Hotel in the busiest streets of Manila.

I paid for my ride and gave a tip to the driver. Nag alangan pa akong i abot sakanya yun. I know that something is definitely wrong and I'm gonna find out exactly what it is. Whatever that glitch was, I know that it was not supposed to happen. Hindi ako mapakali habang ini-isip ko kung anong natunghayan ko kanina.

What's happening to me. Is it just in my head? Am I going crazy?? God, wag naman sana!

"Ma'am kailangan niyo ho ba ng tulong para sa mga bagahe niyo?" The driver asked me. I tried my hardest to keep my face calm,stoic and still.

"No need. I can handle it." I told him while getting my luggages out of his car's trunk. I saw in my peripheral view that for a few seconds he was just there staring at me as if I did something to offend him.

I don't need anybody's help. Mas marami pang mabibigat na bangkay ang nabuhat ko dito. This is a piece of cake, really.

The driver finally decided to let me do my thing and as if it was a cue, when I got all of my luggages out from his car he finally drove away.

I took a deep breathe and stared at the facade of the building for a few minutes while tightly gripping the handle of one of my luggages. Last minute contemplating.

Ughh! Whatever! I decided to give in. I can afford the luxury anyway. Para san ko paba gagamitin ang pera nato? And besides,malapit lang dito yung next target. Wala naman sigurong magiging problema diba? Let's see.

I went inside the hotel, there was a lot of people in the lobby. Matanda, bata, babae at lalaki sa ano mang edad, you name it. Parang melting pot ang lugar na ito. As I was walking in I was greeted by the guards and some of the building's staff. I went directly to the front desk to check in.

I asked the front desk if there was any available room and to my luck, there was! A lot of rooms actually.

I checked in in a room and before she could give me the keys to my room I noticed that she was eyeing my bags and luggages so I told the lady in the front desk that I won't be needing help with them. She was suspicious of me.

Not a good sign.

"Are you sure Ma'am? We would very much like to help you to ensure comfort in your whole stay here Ma'am." God, she talks too much. Just let me go to my room already!

"I said I'm fine! I don't need your help and please, if anybody tells you that I'm related with them and want to get my personal information,that's when you call for help. I have no one with me and no guests in my whole stay here." I told her and went straight inside an elevator.

I feel uncomfortable talking to her. Parang, she'll be a threat. And that's never a good thing. I need to be wary!

Hindi pa nga ako nakakatapak sa mismo kong kwarto ehh baka umalis na agad ako dito. This Hotel had a lot of CCTV cameras. What do you expect? This is probably the most famous hotel here, thus many tourists and high profiled personalities come here.

My room was in the 38th floor. Pretty low considering the height of this hotel,damn it. I wanted to be closer to the rooftop,what a bum.

The elevator door opened and I immediately went looking for my room,which was pretty close to the elevator and so I'didnt

really need to sweat finding my room in this floor.

I opened the door to my room and the foreign ambiance greeted my soul.

Nakakapanibago. Everything felt strange and new to me.

But it certainly is much bigger than my old place. And a lot more expensive I give you that. It's a five star Hotel, what do I except?

I closed the door and locked it. My eyes wondered inside my room. The exterior details felt very unusual. Maybe because I wasn't used to this kind of set up.

I'm used to just having plain and white painted room. This big, spacious and very intricate but well designed room is very new to my taste.

So unfamiliar yet so interesting.

I took a peak outside the big window in my room and it was a scenery I've never seen before. The sunset rays over hundreds of people just walking around and a lot of vehicles.

I don't know if it's just me or my mood is really changing. Weird.

I looked straight down and saw an empty alley right outside, compared to the scenery I just saw, it was dead. Probably because this part of the hotel is facing an abandoned factory.

I took a small tour around my hotel room and although the prize was too much, it looks good. Pretty reasonable . I walked inside the bathroom and it was pretty spacious, there was no kitchen in my room but the big tv and king sized bed made up for it.

I put my bags and luggages in one corner of my room and sat on my bed. I felt the softness of the matress and I immediately thought of sleeping.

This feels weird. Tinanggal ko ang sapatos ko at nahiga na sa kama.

Marami pa akong gagawin mamaya. But that can wait. I'm too comfortable to even move a muscle.

Random scenes suddenly appeared before my eyes.

I'm thinking about it again. My thirst for blood. My hands inside somebody's chest. Ripping their flesh. Dismembered limbs,torn ears,broken nose and sliced tongue. The agony in their faces. Their screams of pain.

I want it. I want it all.

Shit!

Napabangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga. I was gasping for air. I need to feel that sensation again otherwise I'm going mental.

My head was already spinning like bitch. I can't take this anymore!

Fuck the police. I'm planning my kill this night! I tilted my head and closed my eyes. Visions of me killing and torturing someone flooded. It kept flashing before my eyes.

"Aahhhh!!" I felt my knuckles hurt. Blood continued to flow from it. Tangina,ito yung hindi ko gustong mangyari.

I'll end up hurting myself kapag hindi ako nakakapatay ng tao. The thirst is just too much for me to handle. Fighting the urge is futile.

This one time that I almost took my own life because I couldn't kill someone for a week.

It'll drive me nuts and that's not what I intend to do. I need to plan now! Bahala na kung anong mangyayari,I just badly need to kill someone!

I looked at my right hand and it was bloody red. That's it!

Nagmadali akong halungkatin ang bag na dala ko at hinanap ang mapa ng isang subdivision and put it on the coffee table. I need geographic information in order for me to succeed. Know all the entrances and exits for possible emergencies that my occur.

Potential roads for escaping just in case something bad happens.

I plan my killings thoroughly and execute it without flaws. Leave no traces behind and be keen on being vigilant.

No room for mistakes and always strive for success. And yes this is turning into a motivational speech for serial killers.

I looked at the map of this subdivision. Five openings around it,four with gates and one with none, three are closed, two are being used. One of them was the main entrance and it's being guarded heavily  and the other one was for the drainage system of this subdivision.

Yep, there it is. My way inside.

Maraming bahay sa subdivision na ito since it was built many years ago. High profiled peeps are here since it's a pretty secure land plus the security is said to be the best. Now, i don't about that. A lot of CCTV cameras for sure. I have to go to the server room first then.

Disable everything from CCTV cameras and maybe sensors around the area. Marami ding CCTV sa mga bahay bahay but that's okay.

Atleast mas maliit ang chance to know who I'am and besides I'll be covering my whole face anyway.

Okay,so the house of the victims,400 m from where the entrance of the subdivision is. Two storey house with three main rooms and two for their household caretakers and drivers.

A family of five. A wife,the husband,two sons and a daughter and 5 other people in the house. Mga katulong at driver ng pamilya.

Masyado silang marami para i despose ko sa iisang lugar at itambak lang dun sa ilog.

It's too risky to get out of that damn subdivision without getting caught plus transporting their bodies back and forth would be a hassle.

What to do,what to do?

This is a good strategy actually. The police will never know that I'm behind this massacre. Very different from my emo of desposing bodies into a river.

But,still gonna tattoo and stitch their body up. I can almost feel the lingering sensation up my spine. I'm ecstatic.

I can't wait to kill them!

It's decided then. I will kill them inside their house. Alright,let's play this mother fucking game tonight.

I got my luggages and lay all of my things and tools on the coffee table above the map.

Some scalpel, kitchen knives sharp as fuck and others of the like, an axe,my trusty old baseball bat, syringes with pointy needles,a complete set of nails and hammer some gloves,some stitching shits,plastic bags and tattoo tools that I'd be needing later on but something caught my attention.

Ngayon ko lang ata napansin na meron akong ganito. Shit hindi ko pa to nagagamit!! Nakalimutan ko atang meron ako nito ah!

Itinaas ko ang mahabang bread knife na meron ako. And the endless ways of using it with human flesh are clogging my mind right now.

"AHA-HAHAHAHAHA" tawa ko. Well, they're so screwed. I was laughing so hard with the thought I have. This is gonna be a long painful death for them. It's a saw dupe. Wtf, just more painful I'm sure.

This is gonna be hella fun I'm sure!

I can't wait for tonight! I packed all of my tools and equipments and put them all inside a bag.

I wore a black loose-baggy jeans and a hoodie. I put my mask inside my pocket. Mamaya ko pa naman gagamitin yan. Kinuha ko na nag gloves at sinuot ang mga iyon.

Be cautious everytime, I can't afford having my fingerprints all over the crime scene. That's like the most basic thing a killer should know.

I'm not yet in the system,meaning I'm not yet convicted as a criminal and so they don't have my fingerprint but let's just say I don't plan on risking my free life anytime soon.

I wore my shoes and got my bag and hid my hands inside the front pocket of my hoodie.

Ahh,shit! Baka i-check ng ng security details ang laman ng bag komamaya paglabas ng hotel!

Paano nato? Wait.

Nagmadali akong pumunta sa bintana ng room ko at tinignan ang nasa labas. Bingo! A trash bin. I got my bag and checked if the tools are secured and in place.

Alright, I tossed my bag out of the window. It made a loud metal sound pero wala namang tao dun kaya walang makakarinig na may nahulog.

Okay,tools secured. Now all I've got to do is get out of this hotel. I got my room keys and went outside.

Nagmadali akong lumabas ng hotel at kailangan ko pang maglakad around the building to find my tools.

Thank god it was still there. I got the bag out of that trash bin and and wore it.

This weird electric current traveled in my body. I can't control my lust for bloodshed but I'm getting there.

Little by little,I'm suppressing my obsession with blood. Slow,but still an improvement.

Naglibot pa ulit ako para naman makahanap ng sasakyan ko papunta sa subdivision na iyon.

A taxi halted in front of me and I got in. I told him the address and he immediately drove away.

As we were nearing the place,I grinned. Finally, satisfaction will come! The excitement inside of me intensified. The blood I craved and slaughter I dreamt.

A massacre tonight that will surely be on the news tomorrow.

Let's fucking show them Isleen what hobby is really like!
