October 22, 2012 Monday at 11:00 am. Everybody was about to take a break of work. My office mates went out first to the canteen to eat because I was still talking to somebody at the phone.

After taking my customer, I didn't feel hungry and has no interest to eat instead, I decided to go out at the parking area at the top floor to smoke.

When I arrived at the parking area, nobody was there. There was only 5 cars and is parked on different locations. Aside from that, the area is a bit dark. It's a bit scary to think but I'm used to it.

I tried to look for somebody whom I can talk to but I couldn't find any so I decided to go the guard house. When I arrived at the guard house, no one is also there. No guard is on-duty, I don't know why but its strange. It never happen before that there was no guard on duty, but it's alright.

I just smoke alone standing beside the guard house.

The silence at the parking area were shattered when all of the sudden, all five cars sound their horn simultaneously. That time, I felt so much fear, I don't know what to do, where to go. Because of my fear I went inside the guard house and locked myself.

I stayed inside the guard house for around 10-15 minutes and decided to come out when the surroundings seems quite again. Upon coming out, I felt like I stop breathing of what I found. I saw a coffin lying in front of the elevator.

I can't think of anything but to run back inside the guard. It is very unusual to see a coffin in that place. It's just so unnatural. I thought I could escape from such fear but running towards the guard house and open the door, I see a man wearing a black attire shedding in its own blood and suddenly hold my arms.

I could not remember what happens next. All I remember was I fainted after the man hold my arms. I just woke up with the help of my friends and office mates who was worried about me.

It was a very unforgettable experience I had in my entire life and it changes a lot in myself. I have grown a bit coward and could not sustain staying in the dark areas anymore. I could not afford to go out alone.
