Pale moonlight spans on a jaundiced book, Anna’s quivering hands go limp as soon as she reads the name of these nonfiction–history papers… (P.S. This is still a fiction you are reading)

Thunder claps and flashes the shock on her face. She would have jumped but this news to her, coming from her friend who seemed worried about their tarot card reading yesterday…she immediately tried to fish out her phone from who knows where she put it. On the desk? In the cupboard? In her coochie? Oh…it is on the back page of the book–serving as a bookmark for—she grabs it immediately, calling her friend. “HYUNDEEE!”

The phone call hangs up. And Anna ends up staring down at this book for another ten minutes, reading through the account of what has happened to this Anna Whistlewhite who is probably not even her. And she wearily sleeps, wondering if she should attend school tomorrow or not.
143Please respect copyright.PENANAe7qhjvIvO1
“Yes, yes, dieee”
143Please respect copyright.PENANAk00NM34du3

“Come to me and dieeee!”
143Please respect copyright.PENANAOIzyQdgXbH
“GAAAAAH!” Anna jumps off her bed, “oof”ing on the carpet floor. She sits up, cold sweat from the wrinkly old man in her dreams, “that old man must be Anna’s doctor!” She thinks surely, before changing her clothes and charging for the nearest hospital like a bull. Not even bothering to go up to the front desk as she made her way to the emergency room and brought herself on a hospital bed. “Doctor!” Chickenly screaming for one.
143Please respect copyright.PENANAGVCMVeGeif
“M-ma’am, uhm, you should get off there…that is for patients” a nurse says,
143Please respect copyright.PENANA45Hv8HQ7YV
But Anna is sure of himself as a patient and demands to see the doctor as if she is demanding to see the manager. The book clutched against her chest. Finally, after calling out like a dying pig for 5 times, an old doctor who looks exactly like the one in her dream comes up to her and asks what’s wrong. She is already spooked by the nightmare and now this, it seems as if she is reliving Anna Whistlewhite in the book when she tells the doctor “this is me!”. But the doctors and nurses do not believe her and ask the guard to send this crazy woman out.
143Please respect copyright.PENANArOcFBz7FBf
In her struggles against the bulked up men, she preaches about Anna Whistlewhite in the book being her. Which can only be sideglanced by the professionals as absurd and psychotic behavior. Anna Whistlewhite gets thrown out of the hospital because nobody believes her.
143Please respect copyright.PENANAW8JKNiRmDb
But Anna Whistlwhite does not give up even if she was scratched by a cat which only fueled her to find more hospitals. Three then six hospitals claimed her to be a wild psycho, rejecting her. As night dawns, her stomach complains about her not eating breakfast, lunch and dinner which she only thinks are symptoms of her illness. The first day of the first book ends with Anna Whistlewhite dehydrated, malnourished and paranoid.

“Ghurl, you really won’t believe me?” She asks her friend on the phone, after hearing some things in her room. “I think there is a murderer outside my door. They keep knocking…”

“Umm, then good luck i guess…amma be busy studying.” And she hangs up again just like that.

Anna grits her teeth, tears the final page of the first day that leads her to day two. Entailing the first symptom as madness and insanity. “T-that’s me…this is me again…Anna Whistlewhite proceeds to read her favorite book of the night to relieve her of the pain from her tummy, and worms crawling under her skin. She does not stop because she believes that that is the only cure for her against the Bubonic Bat. She even started to pluck the leaves off her neighbor’s tree–” in her case, a cacti, “and brewed a tea with it to keep her awake” literally spiking her tongue to bleed and her eyes wide awake.
143Please respect copyright.PENANAQRrCdC4PwA
“Whistlewhite then began to contact overseas doctors and quacks for their solutions but they cannot suggest anything since the bubonic bat plague has been never heard of before. This imaginary plague eventually became a social hoot hoot trend where people think they have the bubonic bat by exhibiting the same symptoms as the black plague. Anne Whistlewhite, became obsessed” and she does so, “obsessed by these patients like her that she begins contacting them as well. Once again, they all think of her as crazy.” As the sun rises, “Anne Whistlewhite then start her day by doing yoga that helps for digestion, thinking that she already ate and slept when in fact she hasn’t.”

She wants to find out more about her illness. Saturday is 4 days later and that only made her freak out into going to school, announcing to all with a loudspeaker that she is going to die this saturday. Which only made her look crazy in front of everyone except, when at the female restroom, a man knocks into her cubicle where she is taking the air dookie. She doesn't even sound surprised anymore in fact, she invites him in.
143Please respect copyright.PENANAXzH4X73zQS
“What’s wrong with you?” He asks with a worried tone,
143Please respect copyright.PENANABKYuEjKShJ
“I’m sick…sick in the head because the bubonic bat infects the mind of its victims!”
143Please respect copyright.PENANA9eNpSSeAHm
“Have you gone to the clinic? I can help you there?”
143Please respect copyright.PENANAyDK1MM3nSo
“T-the clinic! Yes! I have to go to the clinic!” And Anna Whistlewhite runs to the clinic, leaving the mystery helper in the cubicle. She goes to the school clinic for a diagnosis, properly this time, and the results come immediately that she has nothing wrong in her system except the lack of vitamins and nutrients as well as water. Her cells are almost shriveled to their core, with uer body almost also shriveled to the bone. Leading the nurses and the clinician to forcefully feed her. But this only made her think that they are experimenting with her, and Anna Whistlewhite ends day two throwing up in her bathroom and self diagnosed herself with severe Bulmillia

Two days left until her fateful day. Anne Whistlewhite is said to confine herself, which she does so and grabs her laptop to start typing out a story. Believing that writing is her only solution to escape this madness and that everyone can be made aware. She writes using another name, Kelly Hustlethorne, and administers the same illness–the bubonic bat. The date Kelly Hustlethorne will have this illness is the day after this saturday. Anne Whistlewhite is said to spend her whole third day, writing and recording, with the occasional visits from her experimenters. They give her the needed ‘supplements’. She vomits out their liquids shortly after they leave. Her friend was among them, thinking that indeed, Anne Whistlewhite, is mentally ill and she blames how the exam absences and expected failure led her to this–simply because, in her words “Anne did not study.”

Then, the day before Saturday, her body cannot move from the bed. She is stone stuck and her defecation and urine stain the bed sheets. Someone’s footsteps can be heard from the living room and the old doctor who spoke with her in the first hospital she checked for help appeared with a suitcase. Anne Whistlewhite is said to be visited by the grim reaper himself, brought with him is a sickle that he uses to check the condition of her body and organs. He does not leave her, in fact, he starts experimenting with her. And Anne Whistlewhite is horrified by what she sees and starts spasming. Throughout the evening until the fated midnight, she spasms. Her body excretes out every liquid it has before creaking unalive.

The old man takes Anne Whistlewhite’s laptop and delivers the story of Kelly Hustlethorn to a publisher that gets immediately delivered to the apartment unit of a mother of four children with all their names as Kelly Hustlethorn. Then, their mother starts reading it and thinks she is the one in the book, convincing her other children except for the eldest. Who calls a mental health specialist to check up on his mother and siblings, diagnosing them with severe hypochondriasis. That which had many victims since the past year, and all of them recover after a “climax day” and they forget all that happened when they were thinking like the main character in the book.
