"DON'T LOOK BACK"

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb7FUMTjyM

Growing up in the village...There was one rule.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaAYEKpOWh

If you hear somebody whistling behind you after midnight...

Don't turn around.

Ever.Nobody explained why.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp6vdDxonj

They just repeated the warning.Again and again.

One night...

I was walking home from a friend's house.

Then I heard it.

A whistle.

Behind me.

I kept walking.

The whistle came again.

Closer.

Then a voice whispered.

"Masimba..."

My blood froze.

Because only one person used to call me that.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOy0jvN17c

My grandfather.

And he had been buried three days earlier.
