Report: A night guard

A night guard
A night of guard
I was a soldier, performing military duty in North Vietnam.
It was a stormy and rainy night. I was sitting on a tall tree near the guard camp
as usual. That day, it was my turn to guard the night shift.
It was a foggy night and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, I heard a nice ute sound. I took up my binocular and looked around
for the sound.
I only saw a mysterious red colour in my binocular. I cleaned and adjusted it to
see through again. However, it was still that colour. Again and again and again,
the only thing I saw through was still that colour. I put it down and I thought the
binocular was broken so I stopped looking at it.
In the morning, I reported to my leader that the binocular had broken. He
checked it but it still worked.
The next day, it was my friend's turn to guard the night shift. When I woke up I
asked him what happened yesterday and he said there was nothing strange.
But I was still obsessed with that mystery, scary colour.
A week later, it was my turn again. I decided to nd out the answer to my
obsession. At that midnight, I followed the ute sound, that led me to go deep
inside the forest. There, I could see a girl in a white dress playing her ute. Her
hair was long covering her face. She was quite a lovely girl. I asked her if she
could play me a melody. She was willing to do it. I was sitting quietly next to her,
attractively enjoying her song. All days later, I went to her place for a melody.
One day, like the other day, I still asked her to play a melody. But when she
played in the middle of the melody, she stopped and suddenly, raised her head

closely near my face. I could see her… her eyes.

Exactly, that……… mystery colour. The colour…… in my binocular. The colour…….
obsessed me all the time.
I nearly lost my mind. I ran as fast that I could to escape from her and screamed
2
all the way to my guard camp.
I didn't remember how could I come back. I was sick and slept for two days. I
kept having a nightmare.
Many days after, the colour, the girl, the ute sound was still in my mind. I
couldn't stop thinking about it. That made me always feel frightened. I asked if I
could move to another guard camp and my leader allowed me. But until now, I
still remember that terrible experience.
Who was her? And how could I see her eyes through the binocular? It's still a
mystery.
