âMother,â I said as I opened my eyes.
My throat was so dry that I couldnât 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.
âMaxâ.
It was a womanâs voice. Her voice was echoing in my ear.
That woman was singing a low-toned lullaby.
âMother, is it you, mother?â I asked softly. The sound abruptly ceased, and I heard my name. âMaxilin, I am here, son.â
âMother,â I said with a trembling voice. I do not know whatâs wrong with me.
I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my reach.
âWhere are you, mother?â I asked.
âOh, my beloved son, try to hold me. Come here,â I heard the sound once more.
âMother,â I tried to stand up, but I was too weak.
âMaxi, my son, come here. Follow me.â I narrowed my eyes to see her face clearly, but I couldnât 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. âMother, donât leave me,â I murmured, dizzily.
âI am not, my child.â As soon as I heard it, I saw in a fuzzy vision that someone had opened the door. âMother, please donât leave me,â I pleaded.
I let go of the chairâs hold and dashed behind that woman. âMother, donât leave me. Wait.â In my frail state, I shouted and followed her.
âHufâ âHufâ
In the middle of my path, I came to a standstill. âMother, youâve left me here alone once again,â I murmured.
âMaxi,â I heard the womanâs voice unexpectedly.
I glanced up and looked around. Itâs 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.
âSon,â someone touched my shoulder, and as I looked around, I saw a terrifying creature standing in front of me.
That creature grinned and said, âHello, dear.â
