Another Ghost Story

Ko'ah

A man, writing, sits on the edge of his bed. He is about twenty-three years old, thin and muscular. The recurring dreams that haunt him every night compelled him to start writing a journal of recent happenings. He has become so paranoid that he cannot look in the mirror without seeing faces... They swirl and fade in his mind from day to sleepless nights. His name is Marcos Rivera. Marcos has been living in the Fantasma colony ever since he was rescued from the cybrids. Before that he lived in a small house in Caloris Basin. He has always had a feeling that something... something unseen... has been trailing him all his life. His parents were killed when Marcos was only a child. He blew off the feeling as being their prescence. He had seemed to have been freed for a short time before the cybrids invaded his small colony. But, they were back...

Mercury-Log, 2834
It seems that my freedom was short lived. I figured that after the dreams stopped I would be free of their constant hauntings. But, I fear that I was too hasty in getting used to the quiet. First, when I moved into my room in the Colonies I felt a HEAVY feeling as i entered the room. Then, when I fell asleep I dreamt of a form entering my room... and walking to my bedside. The cold hands wrapped around my neck and started to constrict... I woke up..and I couldn't breathe. I tried to scream for help but as if THEY read my mind and anticipated my every move seconds before I acted a cold hand clamped over my face. I came to the conclusion that... I was going to die. After all I had ben through... I, Marcos Rivera-survivor of the dreaded cybrid opression, was going to be killed in silence. I could not give up... I wouldn't... so i struggled... but something pushed as i tried to sit up and i was glued to the bed. Then, I awoke... gasping for breath. As I awoke... I noticed through blurry vision... that my door was slightly ajar. I sat up straight, rubbed my eyes... and opened them once more. Everything was the same as it was before I had gone to sleep... I guess i better get some sleep... I feel my time in this life may be running out...
