Volume 1: The Lonely Town Chapter 22: Closure

"Martha! Is Martha you? ”

(Huh?) )

The voice was clear, loud, and very familiar to the ears, so familiar that it had been familiar to Martha for more than ten years.

Smith!

It's Smith's voice, it's her husband's voice!

As expected, if Martha had been in a state of fear earlier, then, when she heard her husband's voice again after a long time, she was slightly stunned, and the next moment, the woman's face changed suddenly as if she was grasping a life-saving straw, and she got up with her hands and feet off the ground, and immediately opened her eyes and looked around again.

Obviously, Martha heard who the owner of the voice was, and realized through the voice that her husband should be nearby, and she was only a woman after all, what she needed was protection at times like this, she needed someone to be around to protect herself, and who was the protector? I believe that no one is as reliable as her husband who has been with her for many years.

(My husband is nearby, my husband is nearby, Smith is calling me!) )

Thinking so, it is indeed true, just like the above action, sensing the existence of her husband, Matha suddenly felt a joy in her heart, and as soon as she got together, in addition to staring around with wide eyes, she also hurriedly shouted in her mouth:

"Is Smith you? I'm here! I'm here! I'm right down the street, where are you? Where are you? ”

"I'm so scared, that murderous maniac is chasing me, Smith, where are you? Woowoo woo ......"

Between the shouts, Martha can be said to reveal her true feelings, just like a missing person who has been away from home for a long time, crying and shouting, wantonly venting the pressure in her heart, and frantically venting her inner fear.

Oddly enough......

In the following time, no matter how she shouted or how she cried, her husband, who had always loved her in the impression, never showed up, so he didn't move or respond after calling herself.

All that was left was the sound of the wind.

Sand, sand.

The cold wind, covering the town, blows everything, rustling the maple trees on both sides and blowing Martha's hair in the wind.

The whole street was left with the increasingly rapid cries of women.

"Smith, are you talking? Why don't you speak? Where are you? Come out, get out ......"

"Martha, I'm here!"

Suddenly, just as the woman was becoming more and more impatient and surprised by her husband's silence and unwillingness to floor, her husband's voice came again from a certain direction, not only that, but this time the voice was clearer and louder than just now, and even Martha could hear where the voice was.

"Martha, I'm here! Come here, I'm safe here, come here! ”

Sure enough, finding that her husband's voice sounded and did not listen, Martha, who was surprised and uneasy before, landed on a big stone in her heart, and her eyes immediately followed the direction of the sound, looking at the left side of the street, and at an abandoned house with intact doors and windows on the left.

(The husband is in that house, 100 percent there!) )

"Hey, Martha, what's wrong with you? Come on in! I'm in there! ”

Da-da-da-da!

Then, Martha moved, and ran straight to the house on the left side under the successive urging of her husband, and ran to the house with great joy, no doubt, it was not easy to find her husband, and what could make her more happy than finding her husband for the long-feared Martha?

It's just that......

Squeak.

When she pushed open the door and entered the living room of the house, Martha, who was still excited just now, was slightly stunned.

In the field of vision, although the living room full of clutter is as dim and dilapidated as expected, but when you look around, you don't find your husband?

Fortunately, this doubt did not last long, and before Martha could open her mouth to ask, the next second, in front of her, the bedroom with the door closed had re-heard her husband's clearer words to remind: "I'm in the bedroom, you come in quickly." ”

The rest of the matter is very simple, confirm that the other party is in the bedroom, although he is a little puzzled why Smith has to hide in the bedroom, but in the long-suppressed panic mentality, Martha, who is eager to meet her husband, still ran over without hesitation, pushed open the door, and immediately entered this small bedroom that was dark because the doors and windows were closed.

"Smith, are you in there? It's so dark here, where are you? ”

It was almost the same as imagined, when she came to the bedroom, she found that the environment was dark, and she didn't see her husband at first sight, Martha, who was a little suspicious, immediately asked, and at the same time of asking, in order to see her husband as soon as possible, she also subconsciously reached into her pocket while walking forward, seemingly wanting to see the surroundings clearly with the help of mobile phone light.

However, at this moment, as soon as the mobile phone was taken out, and before even pressing the lighting button, behind him, the bedroom door that had not been closed because of the haste in the door closed by itself, so that the closing force was too strong to make a dull crashing sound.

Bang knock!

"Ahh

Sure enough, the sudden closure of the door made Martha scream in fright, her heart suddenly lifted, cold sweat spread all over her back in an instant, her body couldn't help shaking, and her mobile phone fell to the ground.

Because she was too frightened, and she didn't understand why the door closed by itself inexplicably, finally, frightened by this, in addition to cold sweat, the woman's long-lost fear also covered her whole body again, making her tremble, making him chill, and even making her faintly aware of a chill, a cold chill that was several times stronger than when she was chased by a murderous madman!

And as the seconds passed, before she knew it, Martha found ...... The chill that originally shrouded only the heart slowly turned into an external chill, and it became a real cold that the body could directly feel!

Cold! It's cold, it's really cold!

Yes, just now, just as the door was abruptly closed, a rising low temperature swept over the bedroom, covering the room, filling the small, dark room in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, I don't know if it was caused by excessive fear or low temperature, she suddenly turned back at the sound of the closing door, in addition to trembling all over her body, Martha also lost the courage to look in the past, but stared at the door that was blocked by the darkness and could not be seen clearly, she felt that there was something in front of her, there was something terrible, so she desperately opened her eyes wide, trying to see everything clearly, trying to find things ahead.

Pity......

She couldn't see, she couldn't see anything, no matter how wide she opened her eyes, no matter how she trembled, in her vision, it was still black, and there was nothing but black.

Gradually, Martha began to retreat, driven by the trembling to retreat subconsciously, towards the interior of the bedroom, her face full of fear, and her mouth whispered in a distinctly trembling voice: "Smith, yes...... Is that you? You, where are you? Where the hell are you...... You're ......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Martha, who was still talking to herself just now, stopped talking in an instant, and even stopped retreating.

Here's why......

In the process of retreating, my back spine, I touched something, something cold in the dark.
