Japanese Horror: The phone call

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

 

Creepy Person

 

There was a high school freshman girl who used to live in a pretty rural area. Her parents bought her a cellphone as a birthday present for her.

She was overjoyed by it. But the problem was that cellphones were not widespread during those days, so she couldn't use it to call her neighboring friends.



However, one day, she received a text message on her cellphone.
It read.
"I want a penpal, so I entered random number and sent it. If it's okay with you, would you like to be my penpal?"

That sudden message delighted her and she soon sent an affirmative reply.

From that day on, she started messaging that person on a daily basis. She learned a few things about that person.

That person was a guy and a sophomore at high school. She grew more attracted to him when she found that he was nearly the same age as her.

However, that guy mostly talked about TV shows or school. Never once did he talk about the place where he lived. Whenever asked, he refused to talk about that.

One day, the girl made up her mind and sent this message to the guy.
"I want to hear your voice. I want to talk about various things directly."


The guy replied after a while.
"I, too, want to talk with you. I'll call you tonight at 8."

The girl got very happy. She thought about various things that she wanted to talk to the guy. Soon it became 8:00 PM.

A few minutes later, her phone rang. It was the call from the guy.
The girl, thinking she might want to listen to the conversation again, decided to put the call on recording mode.

She was too happy to talk to him that she didn't realize the clock had struck 9:30.

"Ah! Look at the time. It's already late. Let's talk again next time," the girl said. Then she ended the call.

She thought back about the phone call she had just now. But oddly enough, she couldn't remember about it clearly.

She could only remember being very happy.

In the midst of that, sleep fell upon her. Call it tiredness from her first phone call.

It was already beyond 10, so she decided to cal it a night.

Suddenly,

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

She opened her eyes to her mom shouting at her.

At that instant, she found that she was on the verge of falling from her window on the 2nd floor.
The clock was pointing at 2.

Her mom had heard abrupt sounds from her room, so she had come to check on her.

The girl didn't understand why she was in such  a situation.

Out of blue, she though of her conversation with the guy. She replayed the recorded phone call and heard only this.

"You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2. You will die by jumping out of the window at 2."

I don't know what to say. Do people really do this? You just don't become friends with any random person who messages you. On the top of that he's was doing this creepy hypnosis thing.
