“Mother,” I said as I opened my eyes.
My throat was so dry that I couldn’t even speak. Everything around me is a haze. I gazed at the candlelight. It was wobbling from side to side. I noticed a woman seated near me, but everything was fuzzy.
I heard a voice unexpectedly.
“Max”.
It was a woman’s voice. Her voice was echoing in my ear.
That woman was singing a low-toned lullaby.
“Mother, is it you, mother?” I asked softly. The sound abruptly ceased, and I heard my name. “Maxilin, I am here, son.”
“Mother,” I said with a trembling voice. I do not know what’s wrong with me.
I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my reach.
“Where are you, mother?” I asked.
“Oh, my beloved son, try to hold me. Come here,“ I heard the sound once more.
“Mother,” I tried to stand up, but I was too weak.
“Maxi, my son, come here. Follow me.“ I narrowed my eyes to see her face clearly, but I couldn’t because everything was fuzzy. A woman in a white or blue outfit moved in front of my sight. I took a few steps forward while still gripping the chair. “Mother, don’t leave me,” I murmured, dizzily.
“I am not, my child.“ As soon as I heard it, I saw in a fuzzy vision that someone had opened the door. “Mother, please don’t leave me,” I pleaded.
I let go of the chair’s hold and dashed behind that woman. “Mother, don’t leave me. Wait.” In my frail state, I shouted and followed her.
“Huf” “Huf”
In the middle of my path, I came to a standstill. “Mother, you’ve left me here alone once again,” I murmured.
“Maxi,” I heard the woman’s voice unexpectedly.
I glanced up and looked around. It’s all clear now, but I was stuck in the midst of the woods. I gazed up at the sky. A giant moon was staring at me, and a horde of deadly, voracious creatures was roaring around me.
“Son,” someone touched my shoulder, and as I looked around, I saw a terrifying creature standing in front of me.
That creature grinned and said, “Hello, dear.”
