1> The door of the door opens slowly, revealing a dead man body lying inside.
2> Ken opens the door to find himself facing a complete stranger.
3> The sky darkens and the thunder roars as the group of people move towards the haunted mansion.
4> Landy worries as she moves across the empty hallway.
5> Tears roll down Cindy’s cheeks as she stares at the blank paper.
6> Janice puts on her favourite outfit and dolls herself up for the special occasion.
7> Tommy stares at the phone, preparing himself for the bad news.
8> The group of friends gathers around each other, all eyes are on the centre of the circle.
9> Tin stares at himself in the mirror, wishing he is dead.
10> Johny walks out of the toilet, all wet with water still dripping from him.
Ken opens the door to find himself facing a complete stranger. He is expecting his parents to come back home instead. The complete stranger, John asks to go in the house and have a seat. Ken is too disappointed to think anymore and so let him in without second thoughts. John makes himself feel at home as if he has been to the house before and goes to the kitchen to help himself with the drinks in the refrigerator. Ken sits on the couch in the living room, thinking of his parents. They promised they will be back by this week, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday have already passed and they are nowhere to be seen. John goes back in the living room and takes a seat beside Ken. He asks Ken if he is expecting anyone because there was disappointment in his eyes when he opened the door and saw him. Ken nods his head and tears starts to flow. He cannot hold his tears back any longer. He yearns for his parents and all this while, he tells himself he have to stay strong so that his younger siblings will be well taken care of and not worry about him. He never told anyone about how he badly misses his parents after they left him 5 years ago. After a few moments of allowing his tears to run, Ken realizes and decides to pull himself together again. He apologises to John for pouring out his sorrows to him even when he does not know him and sees him crying as well. Ken is puzzled by John’s reaction and starts to question him about himself and the reason he is here. John takes awhile to calm himself down…..

As the train door opens, Melvin feels a cold gust of wind slaps across his face just as he raises his foot to step in. A chill goes down his spine and he shivers. Looking around him for empty seats, he sees the only one at the left of an old man. The old man’s skin is yellow and craggy, lines forming all around his faces as he snores. Melvin frowns and will himself towards the seat. As he plops down the seat, the old man suddenly pops open his eyes and stares at him. The old man was blind in the right eye. Melvin jumps in shocked but not wanting any embarrassments; he pretends not to see the old man and takes out a book to read. Suddenly, he feels a tap on his right shoulder. He ignores it at first but as the tapping goes on, he turns quickly, feeling annoyed. Melvin gasps as he saw the same old man, which was supposed to be sitting on his left. He quickly turns to his left and found the old man still sleeping. As he turns back, it was the aunty sitting beside him at the start. He cannot believe his eyes, thinking the incident was just his imagination. He shakes his head and continues to read his book. Then, the train reaches the station and opens the doors for a few minutes. Just as the door is closing, a huge man rushes in. He is about to sit down opposite Melvin when Melvin calls out to him.
“Excuse me, there is someone sitting there!”
The huge man gives him a weird expression and continues to sit down anyway. Melvin watches him sitting down onto the man in suit laps and through him! Melvin gasps and he continues watching the huge man putting his stuffs beside him, through a little boy!! He looks at the reflection of the train windows opposite him and saw himself as the only one on the long bench of seats.
