Hello Readers! My Name is Putu Nita Nugraha Dewi (E1D021115) I am from the English teaching department University of Mataram I'm taking Creative Literary Writing course therefore I am presenting my short story "Yolanda Town Urban Legend"
Jude and Adam have been best friends for years but not even once did Jude visit Adam's hometown so in summer vacation Jude decided to spend time with Adam in Adam's house in a small town that only called Yolanda town. At first, Jude was pleased because Adam's family welcomed him so well, they spent time talking about everything from school to Jude's family, and there was no sign of awkwardness between them Jude was having the best time with them.
But when they clocked hit midnight the situation got weirder Adam's father covered their window with many sheets of cloth and they locked their house door from the inside Adam's younger brother Kevin began to cry and Adam's mother's face turned pale.
Adam noticed a confusing face on his best friend's face and he spoke with a shallow voice almost like whispering "There is a legend about a granny that eats human liver, she walks down the road at midnight, and" he stopped in the middle of his answer before he continued "if she listens to any kind of voice that comes from a neighborhood don't expect to survive"
Hearing his friend answer Jude began to think about how ridiculous that idea but he not saying a word to respect Adam's family, after a few minutes there was a sound coming from the road in front of Adam's house it was like a bell ringing it sounds it was very loud. Adam's mother covered his younger son's mouth, the atmosphere was tense even Adam and his father's bodies were trembling in fear after a few minutes the sound of the bell ring was slowly no longer heard Adam's family began to calm down and they decided to end the day and sleeping but Jude can't sleep at all his thought still lingering at the tense situation earlier.
"Hey about earlier have you seen her for real?" Jude asks Adam with a gentle voice.
Adam lying on the bed answered with a hoarse voice "It's real, there was a victim 10 years ago a woman and her child"
Jude answered, "What happened?"
Adam shook his head and answered "I don't know what exactly happened because I'm still young but I see my parents' terrified expression and that still haunts me"
 "I'm sorry for that" Jude apologizes.
 "Forget about it let's just sleep"
