The Ugly Daughter: A Thrilling Real Life Journey to Self Discovery, Riches and Spirituality
Page 15
Afraid to move for fear she would hit me, I lay as stiff as a board.
Dad had a position against the wall where it was much cooler, with fewer bodies pressed into each other. I noted that he always had the best spot and always got the best of everything. That’s just the way it was.
“Loan, my baby girl. Come and sleep next to Dad. I’ll let you sleep right next to the wall.”
He knew I loved sleeping near the wall to avoid being kicked by my siblings. In a flash, I dashed over to his side.
“I love you, Dad; I can’t believe you would share your best corner with me. You’re the best.”
“Anything for you,” Dad said.
Before I fell asleep I felt my Dad’s body push against mine. We were in an uncomfortable position. I lay on my side, stuck to the wall, finding it difficult to breathe when Dad was this close. It was late and I was tired so I dozed off.
A short while later I heard a familiar voice and a hand pushed against my chest.
“Loan, darling, wake up, darling. Hurry, wake up. Something very bad is about to happen.”
I hurriedly sat up. On top of me was a lady, with long black hair split right in the middle, but I could not feel any weight from her body. Our heads almost collided. All I could see were her teeth sparkling in the night from her big smile. I collapsed back on the floor gasping for air because I knew she was not human. I closed my eyes tight, shivering with fright and praying to God to keep the lady away from me. I chanted incessantly in my head; ”Nam Mo A Di Da Phat. Nam Mo A Di Da Phat. Nam Mo A Di Da Phat.”
I begged her to leave me alone but I couldn’t shake off the eerie feeling that she was still lingering.
