The Short Horror Story
Maghrib & 3 A.m

Sleeping Before the Maghrib

The sound of the Adhan was heard echoing from speakers in the mosque near my kosan. It was still five o'clock in the afternoon. I rushed to ablution and prepared myself for the Maghrib prayer. But something came to my mind. A legend developed in this area. The story of the dangers of sleeping before Maghrib. The local people consider this to be a very dangerous ancient belief.

I tried to dispel those thoughts and rushed to the mosque. Arriving there, I saw a grandfather sitting under a date tree. He nodded towards me and smiled. However, his smile was very strange. It looked like he was smiling but his eyes were staring blankly at me.

I quickly entered the mosque and prayed. However, during prayer I felt that someone was watching me. I was goosebumps, but tried to stay focused on prayer. When I finished, I immediately left the mosque.

As I walked back to the inn, I felt like someone was following me. But when I looked, there was nothing. I kept walking, but it was getting darker. Suddenly, I saw a shadow in front of me.

I paused for a moment and looked at the shadow. I can't believe what I saw. The shadow was similar to the figure of the grandfather I had seen under the date palm tree. I tried to retreat, but the grandfather was getting closer.

I ran to the door and the front door was open. I ran into my room and locked the door. I felt safe after I entered the room, but then I heard a whisper.

"Have you prayed maghrib?"

I shuddered and could not speak. I just pray and hope that all this is just an illusion. After a while, the sound of whispers disappeared. I felt relieved and immediately fell asleep.

The next day, I felt very tired and sleepy. I felt like I didn't get enough sleep last night. I also feel very anxious and anxious. I decided to go home for a few days, so that I could get rid of the anxiety I felt.

When I returned, I heard a shocking story. It turned out that there was an old grandmother who often kidnapped children in the area. The local people consider the grandmother to be a very evil and very dangerous ghost.

3 In the Morning

One night, a woman living in an old apartment felt an unusual unease. He felt something was wrong, even though nothing was seen or heard around him. However, after looking at the wall clock, he realized that it was already 3am.

Uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping, the woman decided to sit on the sofa and watch television. However, after a few minutes, he felt an ominous presence nearby.

The woman felt the room temperature cool and the atmosphere darken. He felt someone watching him from the darkness. Without a second thought, he immediately turned off the television and tried to sleep.

However, he still felt that presence and it was even more intense. He felt that someone was calling his name from the darkness. The woman was frightened and tried to ignore the voice.

However, as he looked towards the window, he saw a black shadow standing behind the glass. The shadow looked at him with empty and horrible eyes.

The woman felt an overwhelming panic and immediately got out of bed. However, the shadow did not move and continued to stare at him with its empty eyes.

After a few minutes, the shadow finally went away on its own. The woman was relieved and soon found out about the history of the apartment where she lived.

It turns out, in the past, there was once a great tragedy that caused some lives to be lost. The woman realized that what she experienced that night were the souls of the victims who were still living there.

From then on, he began to be cautious and avoid sleeping before the hour of Maghrib. He also always prayed and read holy verses before going to bed, as a sign of respect for the spirits who still live in the apartment.
