The Card

When I was just a little boy, 'bout five or something, I picked up a card-shaped packet that had been left on my doorstep.

When I held it, it was heavier than I thought. Turns out, the packet had a card in it. I really enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh cards those days, and I thought it was a monster from Yu-Gi-Oh.

The description? A Vampire-like woman, with two, spiky teeth. REALLY light-purple skin and dark-purple hair, with human-eyes, but with a yellow-y glare - it resembled this character I once saw, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I decided to keep both the packet and the mysterious card.

So anyway, that day, mum returned to England; dad and big brother and me were all alone in our flat.

Then, after four weeks of waiting for mum, I got fed up, so dad left for England with us.

It was my birthday last week; I turned thirteen. And guess what? The most peculiar thing happened... here's how it goes.

I took the bus '341' to go to school, and as I went to the back seats, I saw the exact woman that the card showed, except the skin colour and the hair colour were different.

And I think that she deliberately opened her mouth to yawn, and that was when things turned fishy: her two teeth were the exact that of the card (even with the damaged gums, as I noticed when I looked at the card two weeks ago).

I scuffled my pocket to find my card. Once I grabbed hold of it (USB and stuff were inside) she stared at me, and smiled.

And smiled.

And smiled.

Since then, I am now able to do the same thing with her, but each time I do, a part of me disappears.
