"The Pedestrian"
The Sirens Call Issue #47
October 22, 2019
"The Pedestrian" is based on an urban legend in Hong Kong in the late 1980s. A female ghostly spirit is rumored to roam near the Hong Kong Cemetery at night, looking for a ride; a taxi driver alleged that she tried to get into his car, and left five long fingernail scratches on the door.
The details and circumstances have been changed a bit in "The Pedestrian" in this reimagined version of that urban legend.
"The Umbrella"
The Sirens Call Issue #47
October 22, 2019
A selfish action an accountant thinks is harmless ends up bringing her an unwanted guest who follows her everywhere. "The Umbrella" is based on a pagan belief in Hong Kong that one must never steal or borrow someone else's umbrella.
