Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)

Rat and Warung Pak Widodo

For years, residents in a quiet and peaceful suburb lived in tranquility, without any disturbance. However, one dark night, when the full moon shines brightly in the sky, they bear witness to the terrible mystery unfolding behind the walls of their home. Unexplained strange sounds began to surround the entire area.

It all began when the Rat, a food stall famous for its delicious dishes, suddenly closed for no apparent reason. The owner, Mr. Widodo, just disappeared without giving an explanation to anyone. Her curious neighbors try to find information about her disappearance, but there is like a veil of mystery surrounding the case. Word circulated that Mr. Widodo had heard the sound of rats on his walls that threatened human life.

The rumors got bigger when some residents started confessing that they also heard the sound of rat rats in their own homes. Some even said that the voice sounded like an evil whisper, tricking them into doing unusual and dangerous things. No one knows how the sound of the rat can appear in various corners of the city without the rats visible physical facts.

A detective named Darmawan gets the task to unravel this mystery. He is an experienced person in uncovering spooky cases, but this time, there is reportedly a supernatural force involved in this incident. Although he initially doubted the news, the voices he had heard in his own home forced Darmawan to treat the matter more seriously.

Darmawan began to conduct investigations by visiting houses that experienced problems at night. In every house he visited, he always found traces of rat teeth that bite and damage things around. But the most worrisome thing was the appearance of strange, creepy notes found on some papers. The records show that something evil and vengeful was hiding behind the rat's voice.

As the night darkens and Darmawan's adventure deepens, he discovers horrifying traces. Behind the slum walls located on the side of the city, he found hidden dark caves. These caves are filled with rotting rat bones, and an altar made of stone seems to be used for dark ceremonies.

Darmawan suspects that there is a dark cult that has awakened evil forces and manipulated rat rats into becoming their tool. He began to theorize that the force was trying to take control of the city by using the creepy rat voice to control the minds of its citizens.

In his quest to defeat the evil force, Darmawan teams up with a famous local psychic, Ibu Sri. Sri's mother is a demon hunter who is skilled in dealing with supernatural forces. Together, they held a special ritual to confront the power behind the rat's voice.

Their investigation leads them to an ancient book that is believed to contain important information about the evil force. The book was kept in an ancient library in the middle of the city. Darmawan and Ibu Sri feel closer to the answer they are looking for when they discover that the key to destroying the evil force is to combine the ancient spell and the courage of the townspeople exposed to the sound the rat rat.

As they prepare to face the final battle against the evil forces hidden behind the rat's voice, the townspeople gather in the corners of the city, showing their courage and ready for battle. The sounds of rat rats turned into angry sounds from the evil temperature that was trying to overwhelm them.

In a very heavy struggle, Darmawan, Ibu Sri, and the townspeople managed to attack the evil force strongly. The evil temperature felt pinched and started to retreat, but he would not give up so easily. In a desperate state, he tried to attack Darmawan directly.

However, Darmawan's courage and strength are inseparable. With a loud shout, Darmawan defeated the evil temperature, ending his mastery of the terrifying rat voice. That night, the outskirts of the city were overwhelmed by an unwavering calm, and the citizens of the town returned to living in the calm as before.

The story of the creepy rat sound in the suburbs remains a mystery only remembered by the city residents who had experienced it. However, they will also always remember the courage and dedication of Darmawan and Ibu Sri who have faced the evil force to protect the city they love.

Since then, Rat Rat, Pak Widodo's food stall which was once the center of mystery, has been reopened. The townspeople gather there to celebrate the victory and cut down the rat sounds with delicious dishes and stories of their terrifying adventures. For all of them, the experience is a living proof that courage and unity are the keys to facing danger and maintaining peace in their beloved suburbs.
