the endless sleep

If there will be an award for the sleepyhead of the team, the most qualified would be Paolo...

An elite, party animal and technology savvy dude... He's addicted to night life and that's why he makes the office as his second room... (that's if he only have one home) If you'll count the number of hours of work he'd consume for the day 3 hours would be too much.

One rainy Saturday afternoon... He had to stay at the office afterwork, since he'll be meeting up with his gimmick buddies just near the vicinity so he killed time listening to some techno songs he downloaded on his pc... and sleeping!

It was past ten when he woke up... the lights are all turned off except for the pin lights on the hallway. The weird thing is there's no guard on sight. As he packed his things up and shut down his pc; a freaky thing happened... he heard someone crying... it's like a child who's been crying for quite some time... he tried to ignore it, for the only thing on his mind at that moment is to get out of the office and meet up with his friends. When he's a few meters away from the main entrance the child stopped crying and started calling his name... he was terrified and started to freak-out. He tried to reach for his cellphone on his backpack but it wasn't there... so he tried to peek at his cubicle since it's not that far from where he stands... his phone is ringing and he's baffled with the situation... a part of him wants to get his newly bought cell and the other part wanted to get the hell out. But he decided to have some balls to grab his cell... since he'll be needing it on his out-of-town vacation for two weeks. Just when he get a hold on to his phone a cold small hands suddenly pulled his legs... and he tripped over... a decaying face with eyes wide open popped-up under his table... He shouted as loud as he could...

"Sarap eh noh?!... Sarap eh noh?!..." that's a familiar ring tune for him... his phone was ringing... he was just dreaming, he's dripping with his sweat... he thanked God and made a sign of the cross... for the first time... It was his friend Carlo calling... His friend was pissed already, they should be meeting by 7pm and it's past ten already... after the call he checked on his phone, with 16 missed calls and 10 unread messages... the 10th message was all blank, that includes the number... he went to the pantry to drink some water, his dream still plays into his mind... after drinking he walked towards the door... suddenly all the lights went on and off... on the other side of the hallway a blurred shadow apppeared... but as the lights turns on it gets clearer and closer... and closer... it's that same girl on his dream... words don't come out this time... he tried to reach the knob of the fire exit and closed it... but a cold small hand have tapped his right shoulder... he was shocked and when he looks back the small girl was behind her. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
