The Singaporean Candidate

Something strange happened to me in camp last week. Really. I know it happened, it's just that noone believes me. They say i'm psychotic but I'm not.

Wenli called me. He was from my Secondary School. We were friends all the way up to JC. After that we never had any contact and then that day last week, he just called me up. When I saw his number, I knew something wasn't quite right.

You see, I keep having these dreams. Where scientists implant some microchip in your brain and then brainwash you. They hypnotise you even; alter your memory,make you remember things that did not happen.

I picked up the call.

"Hello," I said but there was no reply.

All I heard was someone breathing. Hard. He sounded like Darth Varder.

"Hello," I said again, somewhat louder.

The call goes dead.

Something strange happened to me last week.

p.s. OK, so this was the product of an over-active imgination. I just watched manchuria Candidate on VCD . The call was true though.
