The Unseeable Page #2

Do as I say.

Come to think about it,

I begin to feel sorry for the Madame.

What she's been through...

isn't so different from what I have.

Listen, Choy.

This afternoon Miss Somjit told me some

creepy stories.

She really spooked me out.

She got you all worked up with her ghost

stories, didn't she?

She'd say the same thing to just about anyone.

She'd go like:

They do exist, you must accept that as a fact.

They're here with us all the time.

Maybe...

they're right behind us...

in front of us...

or on our left...

or our right.

They're with us when we sleep,

when we're awake.

They're here as we're talking right now.

They might even want to gossip with us.

Choy!

You scared me!

Don't do that to a pregnant woman!

You're such a chicken, Nual.

You didn't piss yourself did you?

Hey,

who are you?

Want to play with me?

Do you live here?

Come play with me.

Wait for me.

Can you find me?

Come find me.

Come find me.

Don't run. Wait!

Come find me.

I told you not to show your face around here!

You want to test me?

Is that what you want?

Let me go!

Get out!

Let me go!

Get out!

Nualjan, let's go find something to eat.

Hey where're you going?

What happened?

Tell me what happened!

I'm going home.

I can't stand this place any longer.

Calm down. Don't be too rash.

Calm down.

You can tell me what happened.

Let me go!

Please! Please! Stay here and keep me

company.

Nualjan, please. Let me get that.

I'm looking for my husband, not for company.

I don't want any company.

What's the matter?

Nualjan, sit down first.

Is it your labor?

Breathe, Nualjan.

Breathe!

Push! Push!

A little more.

Breathe!

Just a little more.

Breath Nualjan, breathe.

Good, this is good.

Whose beautiful baby is this?

I didn't know you're such a good midwife.

I'm not bragging,

but I've had so much experience...

delivering puppies. You're my first human

case.

Choy...

Thank you so much.

Without you I couldn't have made it.

Sorry I spoke harshly to you earlier.

I haven't...

Forget it.

But now that you have a baby...

you aren't thinking about moving out, are you?

Take a rest.

I'll take care of the baby's umbilical cord.

Where are you dumping it?

You can't just dump it.

Old people say that...

you have to put a baby's umbilical cord in an

urn and bury it.

If you throw it away...

the gut-sucking vampire will come and eat the

bloody mess.

Take a rest.

I'll take care of the baby's umbilical cord.

What?

You saw that man with your own eyes?

Yes, last night.

I saw him disappear into the Madame's house.

This is why Miss Somjit forbids anyone to go

near the main house.

Remember the Madame's secret I told you

about?

Yes, you told me that the Madame still grieves

for her husband,

and she wants nobody to disturb her.

There are more juicy details.

You're curious, aren't you?

If you want to know the whole story, follow

me.

I'll tell you everything.

Madame Ranjuan in her youth was said to be

a gorgeous lady.

So gorgeous that she resembled...

an angel who'd come down to grace the earth.

Her husband was also very handsome and

elegant,

so they were a perfect match.

Madame loved him more than anything in her

life.

But when he died,

she became a different person.

She locked herself in the room and refused to

go out.

Rumor had it that...

actually...

she kept a young man as her secret lover,

hiding him in her boudoir.

People gossiped that...

that man gratified her with such ecstatic

pleasure every night.

So pleasurable was their erotic escapade...

that sometimes you could hear the Madame's

delirious moaning...

like a whisper in the night wind.

Yes, Madame, I'm coming.

Yes, ma'm.

Heaven forbid!

Nualjan... look at this.

See, it's on this one.

This one too.

What is it Choy?

Old people say the vampire wipes her bloody

mouth...

on baby's diapers after she's gobbled up their

intestines.

I knew it... Grandma Erb is the gut-sucking

vampire.

Nonsense, she's just as human as we are.

I'm not kidding.

Look, at night she never sleeps,

but comes out to scavenge around the garden.

She must be looking for something to eat.

You don't have to believe me...

but the vampire has an appetite

for a newborn baby like yours.

Consider that you've been warned.

Nualjan, I'm done.

Hand me...

Madame wants to see you and your baby at

the main house.

Now?

Yes, now.

Miss Somjit, well...

Shut up! Does it look like I'm talking to you?

Mind your own business.

Look,

if you still want to stay here,

bring your baby and follow me.

Right now.

They're here, ma'm.

Tell her to wait outside.

Somjit,

bring the baby to me.

Yes ma'm.

Give me the child.

Give it to me!

So your name is Nualjan?

Yes, ma'm.

I...

I just came from Cholburi.

I'm here to...

There's no need to tell me.

I've heard enough of your story.

Do you know that...

for a woman...

what's more painful...

than losing the man you love?

It's losing your faith in love.

I envy you...

that you can still have a baby.

He's so lovely.

I'd like you to bring him to me every day, can

you do that?

Yes.

Somjit,

make sure you take care of the mother and her

child.

You can go now.

Yes ma'm.

That girl...

She may be a hick, but she's luckier than I am.

She has a lovely child.

Too bad the father has abandoned them.

How long can we keep our secret trysts going?

One day...

you'll leave me to face my loneliness...

as I always do.

I...

I want to have a child...

Nualjan, It's me!

Choy, what's up with you now?

Nualjan, let me stay with you tonight.

I'm too scared to sleep alone.

What tricks are you up to now?

You know you can't spook me with your ghost

stories.

No, I'm not.

Grandma Erb's shack is right next to my room.

A moment ago...

I heard a weird noise coming out from there

just now.

Where?

I can't believe a wild girl like you is afraid of

ghosts.

I'm a bona fide chicken when it comes to

unseeable things.

I'm scared shitless of ghosts!

I'll prove to you that Grandma Erb is a human,

not a vampire or any blood-sucking ghoul.

Wait, where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Don't leave me here.

I don't want to stay here.

Grandma Erb.

Grandma Erb.

Girl.

Come play with me.

Wait.

Little girl!

Don't run away.

Wait.

Girl, wait.

Hey.

Find me.

Come find me.

Come find me.

Come find me.

What are you doing?

Choy!

You scared me!

You were away for so long,

so I came to look for you.

What are you doing here?

I was following a little girl.

What girl are you talking about?

There's not any girl living here.

But I really saw her.

A little girl in old-fashioned clothes wearing

anklets.

I've seen her running around here before.

Haven't you?

No...

and I don't want to.

This is giving me goosebumps.

Let's get out of here, Nualjan.

Give me a minute.

No, let's go.

Can you please calm down!

Close it.

Why did you do that?

Let's get going.

Can you find me?

Come and find me.

Come.

Come on.

I don't think we should go in there.
