CW: Hiking by Wei Long (unedited)

The hike started out fine, until I got stunned by the object that flew by me at high velocity.

I wondered what was that, and stole a glance at the direction of where it came from. There was nothing. Maybe the object is just an animal, so I carried on with the hike, keeping mum of what I saw to my classmates.

All of a sudden I got an illusion in my mind that the object was from a arisoka with a bayonet, which is … a Japanese weapon ! All I could think of is “Tell my friends, tell my friends ! “. So I did.

I beckoned then to stop for awhile. So Cloudia, Cynthia and Jin crowed around me as I told them about my illusion. Cynthia, a sharpshooter, gave me a convinced yet annoyed look, while the other two ignored me.

Then I got the illusion again. It was clearer this time, showing a Japanese man wielding the arisoka, aiming at a buliding, then the illusion faded away again. I was damn sure I saw the arisoka now. But what was the building ?

I went on hiking and expectedly, I got another illusion after some monets. It showed the Istana, the President’s house. I froze in my tracks.

Once again I told my friends about the illusion. We discussed that we better descend the hill, as we were risking our lives.

I said,”Maybe the President offended someone, or even people.” Upon reaching home I immediately surfed the net for latest news for any criminal escape or Japanese invasion. I saw a article about a Japanese man on a killing spree. I almost screamed.

I grabbed the telephone and dialled ‘999’ for the police to tell them about my illusions. Just then I got yet another illusion. It showed the trigger close-up, and someone pulling it. It made my heart beat doubly faster. Then I saw the explosion of the shot, then the full picture. It was actually lego. I blushed and told the police to take back what I said. Ohboy, what kind of illusion is that …

The next week, I received a phone call from the police. They said that I will be rewarded as because of the words I said saved the president’s life. So, was the illusion true, or not ?
