Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)
The Tree In Front of Pak Rt's House
The guava tree in front of Mr. RT's house always kept a scary secret. Little town legend has it that the tree is a link between the human world and a magical world filled with creepy creatures. Since childhood, the surrounding population always felt a dark aura emanating from the tree, as if hinting that something evil was hiding behind its grumbling trunks.
One dark and silent night, the streetlights began to fade and the wind blew violently. Unbeknownst to the residents, something evil is emerging from within the shadows of the guava tree. A sinister and gripping presence began to be felt by anyone around him.
As a teenager, a boy named Rendra moved to the city with his family. He was always curious about all the scary stories about the guava tree he heard from his neighbors. His family tried to ease his fear, but Rendra still felt something was calling him.
That night, as Rendra was walking home from school, he saw a guava tree with its hideous leaves. The moonlight did not seem to touch the tree, creating a dark and sinister shadow. Driven by curiosity and fear that merged into one, Rendra approached the tree with a thumping heart.
As Rendra entered the shadow of the guava tree, the world around him changed. The moonlight dimmed as if trapped, and darkness encompassed everything. Strange sounds and unseen gurgles of water rang out in his ears. A thick red cloud of mist thickened in front of the guava tree, pulling it like an invisible gravitational field. Rendra dared to face it, with fear and curiosity that merged into one.
As they look at Rendra, the creatures whisper words inaudible to human ears. Rendra felt his consciousness drifting and himself in a hurry to find the answer to the mystery of this guava tree.
Rendra traverses a road disruption fraught with deadly traps, grasping a handful of hopes for survival. He walked down the dark alleys of this magical world, not caring about the forms of threats that were in the corners. The further Rendra explored, the stronger he felt the presence of something very powerful, which was deep in the darkness.
Rendra felt his job was to free the guards trapped inside the guava tree. With a burning courage, he invited the people around to join him in this great effort. They help break the curse of the guava tree and repair the energy that has long been tainted by the evil spirit.
After a long and exhausting fight, finally the evil spirit was defeated and the guava tree returned to a beautiful view in front of Mr. RT's house. The townspeople thanked Rendra for his courage and determination.
In the end, Rendra and the townspeople learn that the guava tree is a form of struggle and strength to fight all the fear that haunts them. They took lessons from this experience and were grateful that the darkness that had previously ruled their area had disappeared.
From that moment, the guava tree in front of Mr. RT's house became a symbol of unity and courage for the citizens. They always remember the story of Rendra and his fearless struggle, and learn to never judge anything just from his sinister appearance.
The story of this guava tree continues from generation to generation, as a warning that sometimes the supernatural world can hide unexpected surprises. However, if we have courage and perseverance, we can overcome all fears and uncover the truth hidden behind the darkness.
