Ali sat at the study table in his room, unable to concentrate.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoO4ukDHkn
He leaned back, then a moment later, leaned forward again. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQXvXrbDie
The chair wasn't uncomfortable; his thoughts were.
Sajjad's account refused to leave his mind, closely followed by his mother's. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FuARLc37j
Two people, entirely unrelated and separated by decades, had described the exact same impossible encounter. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKT2TOgBbk
That was what truly unsettled him.
Fear could distort memory, time could alter details, and stories usually grew with every retelling. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QQaB2lO88
But not this one. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzo0vqQYu
The deserted road, the drifting head, even the whispered name—everything matched perfectly.
Ali rubbed the stubble along his jaw. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFVigKdL5G
Except for one thing: the train horn.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSihxjOY7f
His mother had heard it, but Sajjad hadn't mentioned it. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4puYeQsP
How could two people who had never met describe almost the identical supernatural event, yet differ on that one vital detail?42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM7027Q9mR
Ali refused to dismiss it as a mere coincidence.
He walked over to the water dispenser, poured a glass, and emptied it in one long gulp. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKaRhYn0Va
It did nothing to quiet his mind. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5wMNzqOjD
Another thought struck him: 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPH9yXvS9F
What if there were others? 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC59UqhLE2
Other people who had traveled that lonely road after dark, seen something terrifying, and chosen to stay silent.
He returned to his desk and opened his laptop, the screen illuminating the dark room with a pale blue glow. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPRQ6hnG1T
His fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, typing out queries: 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65qiQceC8x
Old Airport Road hauntings42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScMnsEJVvT
Old Airport Area paranormal sightings42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKucITygXqh
1980–1989 unexplained incidents.
Search after search produced next to nothing.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViI1bt4Oeo
There were only a few anonymous forum discussions and old warnings advising people not to drive through the area after midnight. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtapnVCVLe
Nothing more. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnFNudyD7M
No drifting head, no impossible train horn, no whispered name.
Ali frowned and changed the keywords, trying different years and combinations. Still, nothing. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHqCp0WD9a
It was almost as though the incident had never existed—or perhaps it only revealed itself to a chosen few. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAaQilCp3O
His mother, and now, Sajjad.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2xojmFJ2H
Sajjad's name flashed on the screen. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDesESpAj
Ali answered immediately. "Sajjad?"
"Ali..." Sajjad sounded completely exhausted.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxJ3XOUKeb
"I've been thinking about what you asked me in the cafeteria."
Ali remained silent, listening intently.
"You asked whether I heard anything else out there," Sajjad whispered.
Ali straightened in his chair, nodding instinctively. "And you said you hadn't."
"I remembered something," Sajjad said, his voice trembling as the memory resurfaced.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Dopj8mIg
"There was a train horn."
Ali’s grip tightened around the phone.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRfRpfdNo0
For one uncanny second, he could almost hear the blare himself.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jwzw27OnZ
His sea-green eyes drifted toward the bedroom window.
"It was so loud," Sajjad whispered. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk4eyed0F0
"It felt as though it was blasting right inside my head. It just kept screeching. But there isn't even a railway track anywhere near that road. I'm certain of it. My breathing went entirely uneven... I don't know whether it was the sound or that drifting head keeping pace right beside my car, but I nearly lost control."
Ali slowly closed his eyes. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE5jY0FodW
The missing piece was no longer missing.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zsdGbudE3
Sajjad had heard it too—the impossible train horn on the same deserted road.
Perhaps it wasn't really a train horn. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvDhBppDoI
Perhaps the human mind simply interpreted it that way. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLySAB1XJAD
He had once read about strange atmospheric sounds, low-frequency vibrations, and acoustic anomalies, but those scientific explanations belonged elsewhere.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDj13Sr0H
Not here. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30K7HMUYhf
Not on an ordinary road in the middle of the city.
"Sajjad..." Ali finally broke out of his thoughts, realizing his friend was still waiting on the line. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhCtuPeCP
"I asked you another question."
Silence lingered on the line. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS7sGLaQhk
"Are you there, Sajjad?" Ali asked, impatience creeping into his voice.
Sajjad replied slowly, "You asked whether... whether the phantom head called my name three times."
"Did it?" Ali asked, holding his breath.
"Yes." Sajjad swallowed hard. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJdakVd3z
"But... it didn't call me by the name everyone knows."
Ali's pulse quickened.
"It called another name."
"What name?"
After another agonizing pause, Sajjad whispered, "Raza."
Ali froze, his sea-green eyes widening. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcCGKkq9Ou
Raza. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoqVcmKQt9
His uncle's name.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdrYlFnT4
The exact same name his mother had heard all those years ago.
"But..." Ali murmured, "that isn't your name."
"No," Sajjad’s voice trembled. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwlHekhgL
"My mother used to call me Raza when I was little. No one else knew. And I've been hearing someone call that name ever since she passed away."
The line fell dead silent.
Ali slowly lowered the phone.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8CbII5ybc
His gaze drifted toward the glowing laptop screen as cold perspiration broke out across his forehead.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNKiGETNEZ
Sajjad wasn't Raza—not officially.42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMJ6VoostU
Yet, whatever haunted that deserted road had called him by the one private name almost nobody knew.
Why?42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FRrx3J6vd
Ali's mind raced. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn2tas2Bmg
Ali walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water over his face. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mllGCnoH9
When he raised his head, his reflection stared back at him. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOsncadAHF
Sea-green eyes—restless, searching, and filled with questions the mirror couldn't answer.
He returned to his room, closed the laptop, and lay down on his bed. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEexuBDcJk
Sleep refused to come. 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDLNtq5XA2
Only one question echoed relentlessly in the darkness: 42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMc3nXbjN8
If that voice has been calling out for Raza all these years... which Raza is it actually searching for?
