Source text - English The Shadow in the Attic
On a stormy night in the quiet town of Blackwood, Sarah heard the familiar creak of the attic stairs. She was home alone, nestled on the couch with a book when the sound sent chills down her spine. The attic had always felt eerie, filled with forgotten memories and dust-laden boxes. Her parents warned her never to venture up there, but curiosity gnawed at her.
As lightning illuminated the room, she saw a fleeting shadow dart past the attic window. Heart pounding, she hesitated, then grabbed a flashlight and climbed the stairs. Each step echoed, amplifying her anxiety.
Reaching the attic door, she paused, catching her breath. “It’s just the wind,” she whispered to herself. Mustering her courage, she opened the door, the rusty hinges creaking in protest. The flashlight beam cut through the darkness, revealing old furniture and cobwebs.
But something felt off. A heavy silence hung in the air, interrupted only by the distant sound of rain. Then she heard it—a soft whisper, almost like a plea. “Help me.” It was faint but unmistakable.
Trembling, Sarah turned in the direction of the sound. Her heart raced as she approached a large trunk, half-hidden beneath a dusty tarp. As she reached for the lid, the whisper grew louder, more urgent. “Please… don’t leave me.”
Just as she was about to lift the trunk's lid, the attic door slammed shut behind her. Panic surged through her. She was trapped. The whisper turned into a chilling laugh, echoing through the darkness.
In that moment, Sarah realized she wasn’t alone. Something sinister was watching her, waiting.
Translation - Tagalog Ang Anino sa Attic
Sa isang maunos na gabi sa tahimik na lungsod ng Blackwood, nakarinig si Sarah ng karaniwang langitngit ng hagdan sa attic. Mag-isa lamang siya sa bahay, nakasuksok sa kutson na may libro nang kilabutan siya dahil sa tunog. Tuwina'y nakakatakot sa pakiramdam ang attic, puno ng mga limot na ala-ala at mga maalikabok na kahon. Binalaan na siya ng kaniyang mga magulang na kailanman ay huwag subukang umakyat doon, ngunit nilamon siya ng kaniyang pagiging mausisa.
Nang nasilawan ng kidlad ang silid, nakakita siya ng lumulutang na aninong matulin na lumampas sa bintana ng attic. Kumakabog ang dibdib, siya'y nag-alinlangan, tapos ay humablot ang flashlight at umakyat sa may hagdan. Ang bawat hakbang ay umalingawngaw na nagpasidhi ng kanyang pag-aalala.
Habang papalapit sa pinto ng attic, napahinto siya, hinahabol ang hininga. "Hangin lang ito,' bulong niya sa sarili. Nang makapag-ipon siya ng lakas ng loob, binuksan niya ang pinto, ang mga kalawanging bisagra ay humihiyaw sa pagtutol. Ang sinag ng flashlight ay tumagos sa kadiliman, sumambulat ang lumang muebles at mga sapot ng gagamba.
Ngunit may kakaiba. Ang nakabibinging katahimikan ay nanatili sa hangin, na naputol lamang sa tunog ng ulan sa kalayuan. Tapos ay narinig niya ito-isang mahinang bulong, halos parang nagmamakaawa. "Tulungan mo ako." Napakahina nito ngunit di maipagkakamali.
Sa takot, tumungo si Sarah sa pinanggalingan ng tunog. Bumilis ang kabog ng kanyang dibdib habang papalapit sa malaking baul, halos nakatago sa ilalim ng maalikabok na trapal. Habang inaabot ang takip, lalong lumakas ang bulong, mas bumilis.
"Pakiusap... huwag mo akong iwan."
Bago pa man niya maangat ang takip ng baul, biglang nagsara ang pinto sa kanyang likuran. Kinabahan siya ng husto. Naipit siya sa patibong. Ang bulong ay naging kahindik-hindik na halakhak na umaalingawngaw sa kadiliman.
Sa sandaling iyon, natuklasan ni Sarah na di siya nag-iisa. May nakakikilabot na nakamasid sa kanya, naghihintay.
