EDWARD CULLIN ONLINE

Through the net, making friends and sometimes end up as lovers to someone who lives afar has become so easy these days. It also becomes a dream-come-true for women to be married and lived with a guy in another part of the world, a thousand miles from home, assuming to have a better life to start a family in a new environment and people.

That is what Edna was hoping for when she met her English boyfriend, Charlie. Edna like the guy so much because he was very thoughtful, in a way that he wouldn’t let Edna stayed a night to talk to him online. He would sacrifice his sleeping hours to talk to Edna, she knew by then that he is sweetest thing ever. So when the guy asked her to marry him, Edna was on the bliss of happiness. Thus, she wants it in the Philippines wherein her family could attend the once-in-a-lifetime celebration. But Charlie don’t want to, since he said, he has problem in dealing with tropical countries. He hates hot weather. So Edna, who was so much in love with him, didn’t mind. “It’s ok. This is my way of paying your sleepless night talking to me” she told him.

Months later, Edna finally got to England. She arrived two in the morning in the airport and Charlie fetched her. Then they immediately drove to his house. When they got into the place, she noticed that it was in the middle of the woods. The house was big. It’s a three story structure that has big windows in it with big curtains on them causing the house to be quite dimmed inside. She was a little bit scared, but what the heck, she's with the guy she love in a big house, that’s sweet not scary. The next day, when she woke up Charlie was nowhere to be found. So she just spent the whole day touring herself inside the mansion-like house. There were a lot of rooms and furniture, most of which were dull colored or if not made of aged wood. Eventually she got hungry roaming around inside the big house. Helping herself out with the foods in the kitchen, she noticed a huge curtain hung on the wall. Having a thought that it was just another window, she opened it. But it wasn’t, instead it was a huge unusual looking door. When she was about to open it, someone took a grip of her arm. She turned around and saw Charlie. He smiled at her and told her not to open the door because it has something for their wedding.

Night fall came, swallowing the entire woods into darkness. Edna was on her nightie, ready to sleep with her husband-to-be. Pass midnight, she noticed Charlie was gone. Where could he be? She waited for him until half an hour but still he didn’t come. Worried of what might happen to him, she came down, looking him. She went to the kitchen thinking that Charlie might have had his midnight snacks but still no one was there. She had a glimpsed on the curtain again. “Charlie must be working on my surprise gift” she thought. She called him through the closed door but no one answered. So she opened it and felt disgusted by the awful smell that the room had. Can’t see what’s inside, she switched on the light and to her surprise, it was a basement. She slowly came down and was horrified by what her eyes saw, hundreds of corpses were hanging on the wall. Panicking as she made her way out of the basement and went straight to her room, took her passport and money for there was no time packing the other things. She took Charlie's car keys and zoomed out the house. She immediately, jumped into the car, drove herself away from the house. But it wasn’t easy escaping the woods for she was going in circles, then she knew the woods itself is a prison. Moments later, she heard someone jumped on the top of her car. There he was, Charlie, turning his head upside-down on the windshield, smiling out his fangs. Right then and there, the dream she knew was ended by a frightful nightmare.
