A Frightful Story 

The CD

Rancy

     We dashed through the sudden pouring rain, one of those rains where you couldn』t have seen it coming.  The sky had turned dark and gray in the middle of our meal followed by the instant heavy rain.  My roommate and I had waited but it didn』t seem to be letting up so we decided to make a run for it.  Funny as it was, it stopped just as abruptly as it had started just as soon as we stepped foot inside our dorm.  It was Friday night and the school was getting deserted, everyone had gone home for the weekend except for the ones who wanted to catch up on some work or activities like us.

     While we dried up and put some dry clothes on, the sky outside was still dark even after the rain had strangely let up.  Well, of course it was darker, it was getting later and later by the minute.  We were supposed to pick up a CD from a friend so we would have the song for a dance we were working on.  We packed our things and were about to leave, when out of nowhere came what seemed to be a faint scream.    All it took was one glance at each other and we jumped and clutched tightly to the other』s arm.  It was no mistake, we had both heard.  There was no one around, it seemed as if we were the only two girls left on the third floor, maybe even the whole dorm.  It couldn』t have been someone screaming.  We froze and let the dead silence fill up the room.  The noise came again, only this time we listened closer.  It was no scream.  The lady』s voice had a beat that went along with it, 「 This is grandma fuck you all for giving me nasty dollars………」  I became even stiffer when I realized what it was.  It was the song we were just about to pick up, but what was it doing playing by itself when we were certain the CD never even got into our hands?

     We slowly let go and started to search in the direction of the sound.  It didn』t take long for me to realize where it was coming from.  I took small and quiet steps towards my bag, the bag I was ready to take out with me.  Flipping off the top, I peered inside see to where the song seemed to be coming from.  My cell phone.  It was coming out of my cell phone.  I shrieked and jumped back dropping it on the floor with it still playing that freaking song.  Without further hesitation, I grabbed my roommate and darted out of our room, flinging downstairs and out of the deserted dorm. 

     We never figured out why or how a thing like this could happen.  But we eventually got that CD and listened to it.  There were supposed to be sixteen songs on the track but no matter how many times we repeatedly listened to the album, there were always only fifteen tracks.  The fourth song was forever missing.  It sent chills down my spine just to think about it.  The forth track was the only one we really needed, and the beginning lyrics supposedly are, 「This is grandma fuck you all for giving me nasty dollars.」  And we never heard it again.
