The screams of Midnight
The Poor Eman

Eman sat quietly in one corner of the room that was used as a temporary place to stay for him. Since he acted in front of the police, Eman was not allowed out of the restroom next to the village office.

Usually, the room that Eman occupied functioned as a storage warehouse either the crops during harvest or when having to store so many important files during the election.

Eman's lack of sane condition makes Pak kades lock him temporarily until the police finish the investigation. Of course, with some considerations including preventing Eman from damaging the CPI.

A small wind blew into the room occupied by Eman. Something strange is starting to happen. A distinctive floral scent penetrates Eman's sense of smell.

The black shadow walked on the wall, creeping like a lizard and approaching Eman's body. Eman's eyes were still tightly shut not realizing what was going on. The presence of invisible creatures sneaking in did not bother him. Haven't.

A whisper slowly sounded calling his name.

Npb …,

Eman was still unmoved, for the second time the whisper was again heard.

Parmaan …,

A line of Eman's smile was present, but his eyes were still closing. "You're the baby's owner, aren't you?" He asked without opening his eyes.

Emaaaan ..., the greeting this time felt long and brushed all the feathers on his body.

The creeping black shadow, stopped approaching Eman. A long hand with black fingernails emerged from the wall preparing to strangle Eman who was still closing his eyes.

But Eman opened his eyes just as the pale bluish hand was about to touch the skin of his neck. He quickly caught the hand of the demon that was about to strangle him, drawing out the shadow and conjuring up the original form of the female demon with a terrible grin.

The sound of giggling laughter resounded in the small room. Eman was not afraid at all. He was getting stronger gripping the cold hand that now his flesh began to peel because of the strength of Eman's hand grip.

The female demon giggled, a huge flame burning suddenly from her body. Get Eman away immediately. The female demon disappeared, but not with her laughter. 

"Death .. You must die!" A threatening voice sounded in between the odd laughter.

The prowess of the shadows re-emerged, this time not just one but quite a lot. The temperature of the room was getting hotter, Eman took a deep breath, his brain that was less sane suddenly just turned a little normal.

His eyes were wary of the dark shadows that alternately appeared in the corner of the room or on the walls of the room. 

"Get out you ugly creature!" challenge him out loud.

The laughter of the little boy was heard running around here and there. Eman started to get dizzy and sweat. One black shadow accidentally struck Eman's body shadow on the floor, Eman bouncing against the wall. 

Eman's body ached and a crushing blow hit his heart. The black shadow did not attack Eman directly but attacked the shadow of him that fell on the floor. Eman was thrown again to the left side, the temple was right on the edge of the table until it released a lot of fresh blood.

Laughter giggled again, the female demon with a piercing stench appeared from the corner of the room with seven uncluttered babies who walked limp like a toddler who had just learned to step foot.

Eman, surprised this time the brain is not sane huh kumat. He chuckled at the sudden appearance of the occult. The laughter that was originally small turned even louder.

"I'm ora wedi, forward kabeh!" Eman is challenging again.

The babies grinned at Eman, then in one jump they clung to the body of the man less sane. Eman tried to rebel and release himself from seven baby shadows that stick strong like mouse glue on his body. But unfortunately Eman's efforts were in vain.

The little figure stuck and bit Eman's body with its sharp teeth. Many times Eman tried to escape the sharp bite of the babies but it did not work either. Eman screamed, he lost. The seven naked babies sucked his blood to the end. It all happened so fast.

Slowly Eman's body squeezed, Eman's eyes twitched stiffly, his body cold and paled. Eman was killed, just before the rooster crowed in the morning.

"Man, Eman .. eat first!" Mr. Karwita, the janitor at the village office, knocked on Eman's room door.

In his hand there is a tray containing a glass of coffee and a plate of white rice with vegetable stir-fried kale and tempe fried.

There is no answer from Eman, Mr. Karwita a little surprised. Eman doesn't usually act like that.

"Any, is she still sleeping?" mumbling itself. 

He then placed the tray on a small table and opened the door with his key. A strange smell rippled out, Karwita hurriedly covered her nose.

Mr. Karwita was surprised, curiosity made him want to look inside. With his nose closed, Karwita stepped in.

"Astaghfirullah al adziim, Man .. Eman!" Pak kawita was surprised to see Eman lying stiff near the bed.

His thin misty eyes, wounds on the temples, and on some parts of the body made him shudder in horror. Not to mention the stench that came out of nowhere, making Mr. Karwita could not withstand the turmoil in his stomach.

Mr. Karwita ran out of the room spewing out his entrails. He then ran in haste, grabbed a fart and hit it hard.

"Please .. please, there's a corpse!"

That morning the small village at the foot of the mountain was back. This time the villagers were the victims. The village hall was again crowded, the residents were huddled with curiosity about Eman's sudden death.

"Well yeah, Eman how can you die ngenes that way?!" One of the villagers asked another.

"Yes, weirdo! Denger-denger, that's the door even though in the key you know! Eman is probably suicidal!" tell the others in a whisper.

"Astaghfirullah, who really is? Our village can get this shit!"

"Well danger, the more seremp our village! Semalem also I heard mbok Ratem ngadepin a giggling demon on the village road there!" One of the boxed residents pointed towards the street in question.

"Eh, seriously? The devil?"

"Yes, mr. kades, mr. sekdes, mas Hansip, Bagyo and Rohman are witness!"

"Say the hell girl bring a little baby!" 

Residents shuddered in horror, rumors were circulating again. The ghostly terror of terror began to be echoed from mouth to mouth. Makes people more nervous.

Mr. Kades' face was still pale when accompanying the police. Last night he was found lying unconscious on one of the village streets, as a result now pak kades high fever because of the fear that has not disappeared also from him.

"Sir kades, you better take a break. Let's get this case handled." Said one of the plainclothes officers after asking for information kades sir in his room.

"Where can I rest sir, if this concerns the death of my villagers. Where did it die!"

 Mr. Kades is moody, he doesn't think Eman died under his watch. There was a guilt that he could not express.

"Give us this case completely, hopefully there's a bright spot." A police officer named Arman calms down Mr. Kades.

Mr. Kades was silent for a moment and asked again, "Sir, what has Eman's death to do with the discovery of two bodies yesterday? You remember Eman was the only one who screamed at that time?!"

Arman frowned, "Hmm, that's still me investigating. For a while let us work according to procedure. The problem of the naked baby mentioned by Eman …,"

Arman's words were cut off by the screams of one of the residents outside who was so excited.

"May again .. kades sir, kades sir! There's another body in the woods!"

Mr. Kades was aghast, he and Arman looked at each other. "Corpse?"

Mr. Kades hastily exited the room at Arman's tail. "What's up, man? Corpse again? Whose body?"

Apparently Rohman who shouted called for the kades sir. With a breath of breath Rohman answered.

"Yes, sir, kades! Corpse in the forest, I'm the same way Bagyo wants to find wood. Tau-tau there is a male corpse, his chest hollow hiiii ..., my horror sir!"

The sound of muttering sounds of the residents was heard again. They are confused, scared, and curious. Pak kades' mind was complicated, he could feel his body getting hotter.

"Where is this sir?" ask Mr. Kades to Arman.

"Show me where it is!" Arman immediately acts quickly and asks Rohman to show him where the body was found.
