“Are you free?”
Father's voice calling in the morning
“Yes, father, what is the matter?”
The person sitting at the computer turned around.
“Son, please come print out this funeral card. Dad has a lot of work. Father will go build the coffin first. Please help me. There are a lot of people dying these days."
Dad said, tossing him a sketch of a card written in pencil. Then father walked away.
Baan Korn normally works in death-related businesses, whether it be selling coffins, wreaths, putting on funeral makeup, printing funeral cards, or anything else related to death. But there are still some auspicious ceremonies held. My father and mother are very big believers in ghosts. But Korn is a modern person and doesn't believe in any ghost stories. He thought it was superstitious.
As father walks away Korn got up and stretched.
“Again?”
After a while, there was a phone call from my father, it was P'Kan's number. Korn's older brother who went to study in Bangkok.
" hello! What's up, son? How are you studying?"
Dad talked about something and his expression changed. When he hung up the phone, his father looked serious.
“Korn, tonight my father and mother will be going out of the country. Please leave the house with me. The teacher said that P'Kan is sick and must go to the hospital. Don't play any pranks."
“Yes, father.”
Then along with my mother I packed up the car and went to Bangkok. Left alone at home But he's not afraid to call friends in the gang to play as friends at home. Mipan Muk is delighted.
The four of them invited each other to play a game, whether it was
ROV , Free Fire
Or other games like teenage gamers until the four of them got bored.
“Sigh! I'm bored after playing the game. What else is there to play with?”
Pan complained. He played until his phone battery ran out.
“That is really boring.”
“Actually, I haven't printed any cards yet.”
Korn realized this and immediately went to print the funeral card.
“ Panida Songwang, Sinat Decho, Sayan Arunkaew... ”
Because my father's computer has fonts The funeral invitation card is already framed. Korn just put in the name of the dead person. Soon all the items were printed out.
“Sigh! When finished, there was a lot of paper left. Wouldn't it be nice to draw some with me, friend?"
Korn lay down on the floor in exhaustion. Pan, my mischievous friend, suddenly thought of something.
“Oh! Yes, everyone, come here. I want to know. What will our funeral card be like? Let's try typing, shall we?"
“Bring it, come on.”
Korn agrees.
The four of them crowded around looking at the computer screen. Korn was the one trying to print out a funeral card for fun. along with looking at the calendar
“Today is the 10th day, 26 will die, pray for 3 nights, that's enough, 29 will be cremated. If we burn on a holiday, you guys won't come. Please come and I'll treat you to a luxurious meal, haha.”
“Hey! Now that you're dead, are you going to get up and go to your own funeral? Not easy at all, my friend. Haha.”
Pan laughed happily.
"I'll take it too. I'll die on the 17th. Pray for 5 nights and burn 22, haha."
“Oh! These two are not light at all.”
A joke from the only girl in the gang spoke up.
"For me, I want to die on the 22nd. Pray for 5 nights and burn on the 27th. I want to try hanging myself, haha."
The three of them then turned to admire the neatest young man in the group.
"What do you say? Do you want to play for a bit? What day should I die?"
I was delighted and even stunned by what my friends had done.
“I…I think you guys better not play like this. He's really going to die right now."
Pleum said while trembling.
“Oh! You can pretend to be afraid. Just typing for fun.”
“No, I'm not playing, let me go home first.”
Pleum finished speaking and walked home.
The three of them talked.
"I'm really annoyed. You're really pleased. I'm afraid you might go away."
“Actually, it's better to write for that guy. If you die tomorrow, the 11th, it's better to pray for 3 nights and burn for 14. Haha, it's really fun to say."
After speaking, Korn printed out each person's funeral card. The three of them then dispersed and went home. The next day, everyone was speechless.
“D…does the prince know the news yet? You are delighted that your little grandchild was hit by a car this morning.”
Grandpa Chuay, the village undertaker, ran to tell Korn and his friend who were guarding the coffin shop.
" what!!!!!!!!!!!! ”
The three of them were shocked and speechless. Everyone looked at each other in fear.
"Y...Little Grandma, please print a funeral card for me. Die at 11, pray for 3 nights, cremate at 14. I'll go first, I'll go do the funeral first."
When my grandfather leaves Muk is crying.
“It…isn't it true? We…we were just teasing that guy for fun.”
“It…it must have been a coincidence.”
That afternoon, Korn's parents returned home to arrange a funeral for Grandma Noi's family. At Grandma Noi's house
"Hee hee hee, why are you so proud of such a short lifespan? It's not worth it, Grandma's grandchild. Hee hee."
“It's okay, little grandma. I'm pleased that it will go well. While he was here, wasn't he a good kid?"
Korn, Pan, and Muk passed by and heard them and felt guilty. The three went to light incense and pay respects to the corpse.
“I…I'm sorry, friend. We shouldn't have teased you. I'm sorry. Haha.”
Mook cried until other uncles and aunts came to watch.
“What's wrong with these three people?”
“M…nothing. P…Let's go now, Muk.”
Korn and Pan hurriedly brought Muk out from the place where the funeral was held. That night, Korn, Pan and Muk listened to the Abhidhamma chant and got goosebumps.
“Kusala dhamma, akusala dhamma, apyakata dhamma…”
After that day, 6 days is Saturday. Pan and Mook arranged to meet at Korn's house.
“W…What? How are you?”
Korn greeted Mook with a bad expression on his face.
“A…that's good.”
Muk spoke in a trembling voice.
“I…I feel sore all over. I didn't see anything like this the other day.”
Korn and Mook turned to look at Pan following the sound. He looked very tired now. It was like I had just run around the field.
“Where did you go running? Take a break, friend. No need to say.”
It wasn't until Korn finished speaking. Pan was shocked and immediately lost consciousness in front of him.
"P...Pan, is something wrong? P...Dad, I don't know what's wrong with Pan."
Father Korn came to see. And immediately took Pan to the hospital, but not before the doctor said that Pan had acute heart failure. Even though I don't have any congenital diseases like high blood pressure or blood vessels.
“Oh! It's really unbelievable. Why didn't you leave your mother so quickly? Hahaha."
Mother Pan couldn't stop crying. Korn and Muk looked at each other, trembling. I'm glad I just burned it recently. Korn was startled when he turned to look at the calendar. Today was exactly the 17th. After that, Mae Pan planned the funeral. which is exactly as Pan printed.
“L…just kidding, m…not true, right?”
Now there are only two people left, Korn and Muk. After attending Pan's funeral that evening Muknatkorn meets face to face.
“W…is this story true? We're just typing for fun. Y…don't tell me I'm the next person. Hahaha.”
Muk cries nonstop. She shouldn't have done this.
“Y…don't be afraid. It…it was just a coincidence.”
“Where is the coincidence? It's because of you. Causing those two people to die, hahaha.”
Mook both cried and felt sad. That Korn was the one who started this dangerous thing. Then Mook ran home.
While I was returning home He heard the two aunts talking.
“Two children have already died. What is this?”
“That, or the widow ghost came and took it away.”
“No, I heard that people, if they haven't gotten there yet. But go talk and write on the day of your own death. It's really going to die. And the spirit stays around here until it reaches the age of rebirth.”
Uncle helped the village undertaker to join the group as well.
Hearing this, he turned pale.
“L…and about this matter. Is there a way to solve it?”
Go in and ask another person.
“Yes, it is. Just delete or tear up the message from the day of your own death. Oh…oh, don't tell me you guys played what I said.”
Uncle turned around and asked. He didn't answer and immediately ran home.
He hurriedly found the funeral card he had printed.
“Y…where are you? At that time, I actually put it here.”
Searching for your own funeral card But no matter how I look, I can't find it.
The next day, Sunday Mook comes to the house
“K...Korn, what should I do? Last night I dreamed that Pan and Pleum came to me. Those two said they would take me to live with them. I…I'm really scared. Haha.”
Muk started to cry. Korn couldn't say anything.
Over the next several days, Korn began to forget some of his fears. Until he almost lived a normal life
But one morning before Korn went to school as usual. He glanced at the calendar. Today is the 21st, so I'm going to invite Muk to walk to school together. But when he passed in front of every house He saw people gathered to watch.
“M…Mook, why are you doing this? Why are you stressed out? Please tell me.”
Break through the crowd to take a look. Mook hanged himself from the railing of the house's stairs early in the morning. Fortunately, Father Muk saw this and came to help in time. Muk is unconscious. The villagers who saw it immediately rushed Muk into a car and sent him to the hospital.
Korn's face turned completely pale. That day, he studied and was so afraid that he could not learn.
When you come home He walked past the market and heard the villagers talking.
“Auntie, have you heard about Teacher Chok's daughter Muk?”
" oh! The person who hanged himself when he entered? What a pity. He was only 16, and he was stressed out and thought short. Good thing I didn't die. Really not worth it.”
“This is it, I heard Teacher Chok tell me. Grandma Muk cries. My nerves disappeared so I said, "Don't come in." Pan and Pleum will come and take me to live with them. He invited me to hang myself, but I didn't go and I cried a lot.”
“Oh! Those two children who were just cremated the other day? It's true, Muk is friends with these two. You must be shocked that your friend died to the point of losing your mind.”
“I'm just like that. I really feel sorry for Teacher Chok. My daughter is crazy like this.”
“Actually, besides these two people, There are four people in the Mook gang.”
Then that aunt turned to look at her. Korn immediately ran away and went home.
That night, Korn could hardly sleep. The next day Korn woke up in a drowsy state.
“Is it morning already?”
Today is the 22nd, so I'm going to go pay a little visit to Muk who is in the hospital.
But when he dressed to go to school
Uncle Chuay ran up and saw Father Korn early in the morning.
“Y...that's too bad. Father Si told this guy too. That Mook hanged himself at the hospital last night. I saw that it was tied at 3:00 a.m. Next to it was a farewell letter. Said that Pan and Pleum Chuan Pue And tell him to be careful.”
Both Father Korn and Korn were shocked and their faces turned pale.
That day Korn was so scared that he didn't dare go to school. So his father took him to the temple to have Luangta help ward off bad luck.
“L…Luangta, please help my child. Three friends died one after the other. Please help ward off misfortune and raise morale for him.”
Father hurriedly took the monk to pay respect to Luangta.
“Chareonphonyom, be mindful first. My son's friend dies. Your son must be conscious first.”
“K…Yes, Father. Please...please pray to ward off his misfortune. It's all scary.”
“Father, Father, Luangta, I have something to tell you.”
Korn decided to tell his story to his friends. Print your own funeral card for fun. Dad was shocked. Luangta was silent for a moment.
“W…why are you pulling a prank like this? Dad told you, right? Don't play tricks like this."
“I…I'm sorry, Dad. L…Luangta, what should I do?”
The monk closed his eyes and picked up the rosary beads and counted them.
“What has been done If it hasn't happened yet, it can be prevented. Take it like this. Let's go find that card paper. Then tear it up and throw it away. That message will have no effect. I can only tell you this much.”
Then Luangta prayed to call on Kwan. Dispel bad luck for your friends.
When you come home He was trying to find the funeral card he had printed that day. But no matter how I look, I can't find it. Until he fell asleep
Time passed until the 26th, when the whole house was looking for funeral cards for themselves. Until he finally found it in the evening. Father and mother were not at home to listen to MPs go to the area to campaign for by-elections.
“I…found it. Just tear it up and throw it away.”
Korn immediately tore it up and threw it away. He tore it until it turned into small pieces of paper. Suddenly he heard the laughter of his friends ringing in the house.
Hahaha, Korn, we've come to take you to live with us.
The figures of three friends appeared in front of him.
“What are you saying? You guys are dead. The ghost is in the ghost's side. Don't mess with people."
The three of them grinned and then faded away. Suddenly he smelled something burning.
“What…what is this smell?”
Searching for the source of the smell He saw smoke coming from the ground floor.
“Y…that's bad. There's a fire. I have to hurry down.”
But when Korn was about to go downstairs He found that the fire spread very quickly because his house was made of wood. The door was filled with fire.
“Ah...can't get out. Someone help me. There's a fire!!! ”
Korn shouted for help. and ran up to the second floor hoping to jump out of the window But the windows of his house were made of burglar-proof bars and couldn't be removed.
“Help me! help! I'm stuck in the house.”
Now there is no one around Korn's house. Everyone went to listen to MPs vote.
Korn realized this and immediately went to the bathroom rooftop. But the door wouldn't open.
"W...why can't I open it? What's wrong with it?"
Korn tried to open the door but it couldn't open. The fire kept spreading. Until he was burned.
“Oh…oh!!!!!!! hot!!!!!!!!!"
Dad told you, right? Don't play tricks like this.
His father's warnings sounded in Korn's head before he died.
