In the serene and lush town of Miri, Malaysia, amid the whispering trees and misty nights, peculiar tales waft through the air, inducing shivers more potent than the evening chill. It was here where legends danced between the frequent stories exchanged among locals. Cheeky fears echoed through the voices of generations, connecting Miri to a haunting mother — the Pontianak. Oh yes, in these quiet streets filled with laughter, lurked a fear that no one dared to casually dismiss.

Amir, a 30-year-old taxi driver with kindly brown eyes, was known for more than just his unfaltering generosity. He layered his drives with ghost stories and folklore that enchanted those who found themselves in the backseat of his trusty yellow cab. Though Amir carried a demeanor of warmth and empathy, tales like that of the Pontianak always felt like myths of old, useful perhaps for children late after the fires died. It was one hastily rendered evening, while lounging at the local café, that he inevitably retread paths of caution when overhearing familiar voices. Friends around him recounted the eerie lore of her — a girl once adored, wronged by the love of her life. A female entity marked with long hair trailing behind her like drifting smoke on the wind. Traipsing nights wrapped in a haunting white dress, they recalled not knowing if it was the maliciousness that shrouded the Pontianak or if she was instead tormented by her own tragic ending.
Eventually, absorbing faint laughter among the dense sips of coffee, Amir found thoughts heavy on the heart of those ghostly warnings murmured through time. He too clasped the invigorating hopes accompanying long luminous nights, but a remnant feeling of specialty loomed with every flushed call announcing an imminent ride to nowhere familiar as darkness crept closely around.
Later that night, as Amir made his way home, mist clung to the roads like the fingers of long-departed souls reaching to grab his attention. Suddenly, near an old banyan tree, a ghostly sight emerged — a woman draped in pure white, illuminated by nothing but drifting moonlight. The shawl of sheer cloth managed to tenuously frame her figure so intangibly. The island’s local complaints weighed strongly as she gestured silently to catch a cab — with disheveled strands of hair that paled against the night glow. As fear corroded habitual thoughts, just this once, he hesitated and opened the door.

“Where to?” he casually asked. The woman, her voice fluttering like leaves falling, simply replied with tremors longing to reach the cherry blossoms that lay near the old burial grounds. With contradictions knotting his gut, curiosity blackened his sense of safety, but he rationalized that he must trust things that hold carelessly intertwined like wisps of string straining against gravity alone.
Upon driving further into darkness, whispers buzzed in the cab, but fright had yet to cross Amir’s mind. Faint giggles followed behind them as if he had entered a space swallowed by more than memories. The autumn air brought the faint aroma of frangipani, beautifying horrors layered beyond threads of deep festoon. Yet tension arched nervously sad; accompanying tales headed old along with derisive chirps wrapped mean through tenderness broadcast along blind service clues hinted along!
Arriving at his destination—an untouched graveyard lined with stories requited long before—Amir yearned to turn and shout though the fright tingled darker than any scare would invoke. Maybe this magical mist birthed stones housing restless beings? As they approached the site, she glided toward one particular tombstone — clearly imbued. Gone was the charm; rather looming terror came rushing at him multiplied—an unraveling blanket of horror spilling the moment she finally faded out toward Amir burgeoned deceptively close unveiled childhood gossip fiercely.

Oh! Her eyes were eclipsed by a blood-red glare that set fire inside of him. Surely, run!
