Silent Scream

"Hah ? n…impossible.” said Melisa hysterically. His heart felt like it was going to let go, his body was shaking uncontrollably when he saw a photo of a middle-aged woman who was a suspect in a sadistic murder, and the woman looked similar to the woman he met at the mini market. A woman carrying a small child.

"Sir, stop for a moment!" shouted Melisa.

"What's wrong Miss?"

"There is a small child who is going to be killed, we have to report it to the police!"

"Miss, you finished reading the newspaper, right? How could the murderer appear in the middle of the city?" said the taxi driver while laughing a little.

"But sir, I saw this woman at the mini market earlier. He was carrying a little girl in a school uniform.”

"Never mind Miss, it's better not to get involved, let someone else report it. If you are careless you could be the next victim!"

“Uh… ?” Melisa was shocked, she couldn't speak. He suddenly felt bad.

Along the way, Melisa remained silent, remembering the woman and girl she met earlier. If it was true that the woman did it, what would happen to the girl she brought with her? Will the child become a victim too? Melisa was really anxious.

Melisa has arrived at Rottenbir street, it won't be long before she arrives home. Melisa passed Jack's house. As usual, the house looked very haunted and deserted, suddenly Melisa really wanted to meet Jack.

The rain had stopped, leaving only small drops from the sky. It was already 09.00 at night. The taxi he was riding in suddenly broke down in front of Rottenbir park.

"Oh shit!" complained the taxi driver.

"What's the matter, sir ?"

"My taxi broke down, what do I do?"

"I wonder how ? I don't understand cars either."

"Then Miss, wait here for a moment, I'll check first."

"Eh...no need, sir, my house is close by. I'll just walk, here's the money?"

"No need, Miss, at this time of night it's not good to walk alone. It's better, miss, just wait inside. Just for a moment!"

"Okay."

Melisa was anxious, but she tried to wait. Maybe what this father said is true, at nights like this it is very dangerous to walk alone. Melisa opened the newspaper page she had read earlier, this time about a more terrifying case. A psychopath who escaped from a mental hospital 3 weeks ago.

Bang...brak...a loud sound startled Melisa, someone from outside threw a stone at the taxi she was riding in. Melisa was afraid but she tried to be brave.

"Sir...sir driver? Is that you?" Melisa asked nervously, goosebumps on her neck. Melisa slowly opened the taxi door.

The night breeze started to come in between the doors, Melisa swallowed hard because she was afraid something bad would happen to her. There was no one outside. The clock in the park continues to tick along with Melisa's heartbeat at this time.

"Driver? Where are you ?" Melisa shouted while looking around. There is no one in this place. What's more, this park is quite far from residential areas.

Melisa stepped forward slowly, she felt her blood flow freeze. Cold sweat flowed down his body. Melisa tried to keep her voice down. Suddenly there was the same sound as in the taxi earlier. The sound of objects falling or objects being thrown behind him.

"Who...who's behind...behind?" Melisa asked tremblingly. Slowly he turned his body backwards.

“Aah……… ! ” shouted Melisa with an incredible scream.

A man was hanging upside down from a big tree next to the yellow taxi. His head hit the roof of the taxi, his head covered in blood. His face was completely destroyed and his neck had a large tear so that the contents of his throat could be seen.

"N...no..." Melisa screamed, she couldn't move looking at the terrible scene in front of her. Melisa tried to step back, but her body hit something. A breath could be felt on his shoulder, a very cold breath, yes... there was someone standing right behind him at this time

"Dear Melisa, you finally came."

"No….. !" Melisa shouted hysterically.

Melisa opened her eyes slowly, her eyes were too hard to open. Pain struck his head, the pain felt like he had been hit with a hard object.

“Uh…!” Melisa groaned in pain. He couldn't hold his head, He couldn't even feel his own hands, he was still in a semi-conscious state.

Melisa tried to move her body little by little, and tried to open her eyes wide. But this was a really strange sight, at first it was blurry but over time the view ahead was now clearly visible, everything was upside down. Melisa sighed, now she realized that it wasn't the objects that were upside down but herself.

Melisa was hung upside down with her head down and her legs tied with a very strange rope. In front of him he saw a large man with his back to him, near the man were scattered half-decomposed corpses. Many of them are no longer intact.

Surprisingly, this place doesn't smell bad at all, you can't even smell the rancid smell of blood. Melisa writhed as hard as she could to fall, she threw her body against the wall repeatedly so that this strange rope would come undone.

“Brak….” A loud thud was heard, Melisa's body fell to the floor. The man looked back.

His eyes were now clear, scary red eyes. His body was tall and big and the worn shirt he was wearing had lots of bloodstains on it. The man smiled broadly, showing his sharp, brown teeth. A really scary face, his face looks like the taxi driver.
