The tunnel – Epilogue It has been almost 15 years since I went to that creepy tunnel. I am now 31 years old and a general office worker at Samsung; a little different than what I expected to become when I was young. Speaking of my childhood, I still seldom think about what happened with the tunnel and Elizabeth and all…but it’s only one piece of my memory now. The big news these days is that those paranormal investigators are trying to reveal the secret of the tunnel. Surprisingly enough, the area they’re talking about turned out to be the same place I used to be afraid of. They are now gathering people who have witnessed or experienced the supernatural, unique event of the tunnel, I decided to go, just to see what really is inside that thing. “Hey Kenneth, you alright? It’s almost time to go. Pack up now so we can go and get some sushi and sake.” My co-worker cheerfully wakes me. I have to go now. Well, this is the day I am visiting that creepy tunnel again. I get dressed up as I think about my past experience and then decide not to, because it would just make me feel even more scared. As I drive to the place, all the memories hit me like a wave. It was sure was a good place to live. I arrived 20 minutes before the announced time but I guess I’ll take a look around and see how much it changed; all the trees and stuff. Then I see a young lady who kind of seems familiar. ‘Where have I seen her… where…wait, tunnel… witnesses…is that Ib?!’ I thought. “IB!” I called, doubtfully. She turns and looks at me. She recognizes me too. Now isn’t this a great reunion. I chuckled. We talked about our childhood until the investigation team arrived. It turns out that the things we saw was just psychological hallucination caused by the fear. Now if you all would excuse me, I want to have some tea with little Ib; recalling some more reminiscence of my childhood. - The Tunnel
