I was suddenly confused about what I heard and asked “Are you joking Mister Tom?” before I smiled.
Mister Tom didn’t respond, his face suddenly wrinkled, his eyes turned red, his body grew hairy, and a sharp long tooth grew in his mouth seemingly smiling while staring at me with his saliva flowing in his mouth. Apart from that he suddenly moved his head closer to my face while he continued to stare at me. My body froze at what I saw and even my voice couldn't come out of my mouth. In this situation, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack, my clothes are even wet from my sweat and what's more embarrassing is that It seems like pee in my shorts. At that time I didn't know what to do I thought it was the end of the world for me, luckily Mark tapped me on the shoulder and asked “Are you alright?”
“Yeah I’m alright,” I said glancing at Mark.
When I glanced back to Mister his face went back to normal and says “It seems like you were traumatized when you first saw the meat ” before smiling as if nothing had happened.
“Ha me, ahh guess so”
“Let me tell you my experience with that as well”
Tom’s POV
It was around the late 1970s, it was a night at that time, and we were about to eat our dinner when an eerie sound came from an unknown bird passing by, accompanied by an unpleasant smell, my dad suddenly screamed at that bird and said “Can you bring us some as you pass by later”
I asked my dad “Dad what creature is that?”
“It's an aswang” he replied.
Three hours pass something fell on our roof, seemingly someone had purposely dropped something. Dad and Mom went outside with a ladder to check. Dad is the one who climbs the rooftop while Mom waits below, as dad reaches the rooftop he is shocked that he suddenly says: “I found some meat here”.
“Seriously?” My mom asked.
“Yeah let me show it to you”
I and my younger sister, Mark’s mom quietly awaits inside the house. As Dad and Mom went inside they showed us what meat they had found on the rooftop fresh raw meat and it looked similar to this one but much more than what you brought it was around five kilos.
I was so curious that I asked them what kind of meat it was, and then my mom and dad exchanged glances before dad suddenly said “It is human flesh”.
“Really?” I said frowning.
“Look, your dad is a well-known expert in terms of supernatural entities like aswang, and everyone here in our town knows him,” Mom said with a dead serious face.
“But how sure are you that this meat is human flesh?”
“Have you ever seen a beef as tender as this?” Mom said as she pierced the meat showing how tender it was.
“Ah No”
“Then do you think somebody will just throw a meat to his neighbors for fun?”
“Absolute not”
“Then there you go”
End of Tom’s POV
“After that night Mom and Dad buried the meat in the ground and never told anybody except you, Tim” Mister Tom said bringing his head closer to me.
“Wow that’s ah ah wonderful story I guess,” I said as lean my back to the chair.
“I’m just kidding,” Mister Tom said smiling as he leaned on the chair.
“What we should do with this meat Uncle Tom” Mark asked.
“Buried it on the ground”
“Oh before I forget can I get you a coffee or something?”
“I already had coffee earlier Uncle Tom, how about you Tim?”
“Same for me”
“Uncle, it looks like we won't be here for long. Perhaps the darkness will catch us soon on our way, given that it's already five.”
“Agree, you might even catch up with the aswang on your way home”
“Thanks again uncle for your time, we are now heading out,” Mark said waving his hand.
When we were far away from Mister Tom’s house I immediately asked Tom about his uncle “Have you noticed something peculiar about your uncle?”
“Nothing, why you ask?”
“Nevermind, I’m just feeling stressed I think”
“Can we walk much quicker, I suddenly sense something unsettling, like someone is watching over us” I added.
Narrator’s POV
As the two continued to walk little did they know someone was secretly watching them, a tall-looking man, his face wrinkled, his eyes red as blood, his body covered with hair, sharp claws, and noticeable long sharp teeth as he seemingly smiled at them while staring with his saliva flowing from his mouth. He was standing next to a towering mango tree when he suddenly produced an eerie creepy sound “Ek ek ek ek” before he disappeared.
Later that night, in the middle of the forest, a man in his mid-thirties is sitting in the immovable dried wood making a fire, behind him is a tent, and on his side is a flashlight. After making a fire he grabbed his phone from his left pocket and started recording himself.
“Hello there campers, it's your boy Wonder Camper, I’m currently in the middle of a forest, camping alone, in this video I will be challenging myself to see how far my guts will go”
“Did you know that this place was hunted, A long time ago they said there is a skinny hairy creature lurking around this place eating wild animals and even humans” Wonder Camper added.
As Wonder Camper continued to record a video of himself something from a three nearby fell alerted him. “Did you hear that fellow campers something fell off from the tree”
“Let's see what it is” Wonder Camper stood from the dried wood and started to walk towards where something fell off.
As he pointed his flashlight toward the acacia, he saw a familiar meat similar to what Tim had found. Curious he places his flashlight in his mouth and picks up the meat from the acacia tree while still recording. He then went back to where he sat and said “We are lucky today guys I’ve found meat it is like beef but much tender, plus it's a bit sticky but I’ll try to cook this and see what it tastes”
Wonder Camper washed the meat with his bottled water and sprinkled salt around it before he grilled it. Within just a minute the meat is cooked. “Let’s try it out, guys” As Wonder Camper starts to bite the meat, his phone turns off due to the low battery. “Uhm this meat tastes like pork”
While he deliciously chewed, Wonder Boy suddenly stopped and the grilled meat fell off in his hand. He grabbed his neck as if he was choking and all of a sudden his head blows for some unknown reason. Blood is scattered around his campsite and his body falls. After that, a liquid object with a life of its own appears to be emerging from this bloodied neck.
