Once upon a time, there was a very religious woman. An illustration 01 (All rights reserved) She went to church every day and prayed for her happiness. An illustration 02 (All rights reserved) One day, she went to bed soon after dinner because she would have an early morning gathering at church the next day. An illustration 03 (All rights reserved) At midnight, she happened to awake and noticed that moonlight was shining through the window. An illustration 04 (All rights reserved) She looked at a clock and found that it stopped and was pointing at 12 o’clock. An illustration 05 (All rights reserved) (Actually, what time is it now?) An illustration 06 (All rights reserved) She found the church’s windows filled with light. An illustration 07 (All rights reserved) She got dressed quickly, threw her cape on, and hurried to the church with her prayers book. An illustration 08 (All rights reserved) Curiously, however, the streets were quiet. An illustration 09 (All rights reserved) No one went to church. An illustration 10 (All rights reserved) “Something strange…” An illustration 11 (All rights reserved) Anyway, she went into the church and saw many people in the hall. An illustration 12 (All rights reserved) She took a seat in a hurry. An illustration 13 (All rights reserved) Again, she felt something wrong. An illustration 14 (All rights reserved) Moreover, all people around her turned white and looked like the dead. An illustration 15 (All rights reserved) Moreover, she didn’t know any of them. An illustration 16 (All rights reserved) Some of them seemed vaguely familiar to, though, she had no idea where she met. An illustration 17 (All rights reserved) After a while, a minister came into, but he was also a stranger and had a creepy pale face. An illustration 18 (All rights reserved) He started preaching. An illustration 19 (All rights reserved) She became scared little by little. An illustration 20 (All rights reserved) “You had better get out of here soon before the ceremony ends. Otherwise, you would be killed! An illustration 21 (All rights reserved) This is the gathering of dead people!“ An illustration 22 (All rights reserved) (Oh well, all people here I’ve seen are those who have died long ago… ) An illustration 23 (All rights reserved) Her body suddenly began to tremble. An illustration 24 (All rights reserved) Getting her advice, the woman put her cape on and tried to go out of the hall sneakily. An illustration 25 (All rights reserved) Everyone seemed to notice her escaping, they were singing the hymn and glared at the housewife. An illustration 27 (All rights reserved) They kept still now, though, soon after finishing the hymn, they would be sure to attack. An illustration 28 (All rights reserved) Eventually, she got to the exit and they finished the song. An illustration 30 (All rights reserved) At the moment, they stood up all at once. An illustration 31 (All rights reserved) They surrounded the woman and reached their hand to her cape. An illustration 32 (All rights reserved) (Oh my god!) An illustration 33 (All rights reserved) She struggled to throw her cape and got out of the church. An illustration 34 (All rights reserved) Only to run away without looking back. An illustration 36 (All rights reserved) Finally, she got to home, looked back toward to the church and saw the church without the light. An illustration 37 (All rights reserved) It must have stopped, though, it was working. It pointed just one o’clock. An illustration 38 (All rights reserved) The woman felt so scared that she couldn’t go to church in the coming morning. An illustration 40 (All rights reserved) When people came to the church in the morning, they became puzzled to find the cape tore into pieces that the woman had left. The End |
