30 Years Orphan--Recording#1


Sarah, it’s me, Ben. Your beloving Ben Cooper. Please forgive for my disappearance, I believed you were worried about my disappearance, most possibly you are angry too, right? But please listen this, I’m now back at Stepperd’s Orphan House. Yes, the orphanage that I stayed 30 years ago. You must be wondering how. The orphanage was burned down 30 years ago after the case that everyone there was murdered and now I’m telling you that I’m back there. I know you will be thinking that “Ben are you out of your minds? It’s gone” But hey, it’s true. I’m at Stepperd’s Orphan House now. Even me myself is confused about how this can be true. Okay, listen I’m now gonna tell you what happened that day. If I’m not mistaken, it’s about seven days ago, right?

That day everything was normal in the morning, until when I was on my way home from the office. I was driving home at 5.04p.m. after work. When I reaches the T junction 2 miles away from the office, I had an urge to turn right, which I never go through that path before and had no idea where will it lead to. But there’s something weird, there was like something guiding me from no where. I’m able to drive through the road all the way long, it’s like I knew where am I going. But the problem is, I don’t.

I tried to find a junction or a way that I’m able to make u turn back. But the road was starting to get narrow, only one car was able to go through the way. And it’s just exactly for one car all the way, can u believe that? When I was driving, I was wondering where am I and where am I supposed to reach. I was being squeeze between two forests with big, tall trees. I kept on felt that there was something or someone watching me from nowhere, goose bumps starting to rise all over my hands. Creepy. But after 20 minutes of no-idea-where-am-I-going journey, I thought I saw hope. I reached at a split road, both roads look alike and I have no idea which to take. Suddenly, I heard a voice came from my back telling, “take east”. I was shocked and turned around to see who or what told me that. You must be thinking that I maybe just too tired and got some illustration. But I swear, that’s not an illustration, I heard it loudly and clearly.

I was scared and had no idea whether follow or not to follow what “it” told me to. And that’s when I was confused, I saw a weak glimp of light at the far side of the east road. I starting to feel that maybe that “thing” was trying to help me, there may be a house or a town at far side of the road. And so, I pushed down my handbrake and turned my car steering wheel to the left, accelerate. My heart was in a 50-50 condition that time, 50% scared 50% graceful. But that’s until I saw something that made me stopped and made a conclusion that I had reach the end of the road.

It was a mansion lying in front of my eyes, the surrounding was the same, all trees. I hopped down of the car and tried to see if there’s any life in that big house. What I saw was nothing, pitch dark in all the windows, not even a single shadow can be seen. But there’s one thing that made up my mind of where am I. standing beside me was sign board written “Welcome To The Home of Love, Stepperd’s Orphan House”. I can’t believe my eyes, I tried to rephrase back and realized that the mansion is the same as the big house I stayed in 30 years ago. This is impossible, but still it’s there in front of my eyes. I’m back to Stepperd’s Orphan House.
