Tonight at Turkmenistan forest a man was walking un straight his clothes were torn apart he had so many bruises and wounds on his face, he had a small book held on his left hand, his eyes were so weak, he wasn't strong enough to even walk. He walked a little and saw a phone station he hurried went inside to make a call, whenever he tries to call someone he hears a woman's voice repeating asking for help in Spanish Language. The network has been bounced not to allow any incoming or outgoing calls. "You can't escape me Moudrik your soul is mine to feed just like the others you will die alone." He was hearing the sound of woman behind him when he turned around his neck was slayed with a knife. He kneeled down, that ghost showed up in front of his sight, Moudrik started laughing and say "Remember this face Aysha you will rote in hell forever mark my words." That ghost took his soul Moudrki's body turned into ashes and that ghost turned around and left away. Within that ashes the book was still down there it was a title of "HILAYSH".

Early in the morning the other day a Van was passing by with loud of music when it reached the phone station it stopped, a man came out searching for usable trees to built chicken hatches he saw a small book under the front left tire, he picked it up and looked at it.

Man : "Well, well, well what do we got here, I could get enough money when I sell this" He throw that book in the car and left to go and cut the tree. After a while he left away and head straight to the City. He directly went to the Famous Library in Washington and sold it.
