DARK CITY

 The island of Samar, 150 miles long, is home, to the hidden city of Biringan. Well-known to the Filippino citizens there, and located somewhere in the northeast quarter of the isle.

The province of Samar is rich in cultures and beliefs so it has become the center of religious wonders. This is one of the most mysterious places in the "City of the Night". Its name is derived from the Waray word "Birilngan" which means "the search for people who are missing." The mysterious people who live in Biringan take life and bring them to their place in the Waray word called "daay."

 

This is what the is said to look like.

The residents of Biringen, sometimes called "the Engkantos", are human. With one cosmetic difference. Their faces do not have a philtrum. 

The philtrum, or medial cleft, is a vertical groove in the middle area of the upper lip, common to many mammals, extending in humans from the nasal septum to the tubercle of the upper lip. Together with a glandular rhinarium and slit-like nostrils, it is believed to constitute the primitive condition for mammals in general.

The Engkantos have a comfortable, futuristic lifestyle. High-tech dwellings with automatic environmental controls. Luxury cars that drive themselves. And small machines can be seen flying above the streets, carrying_ messages or deliveries. And apparently, it takes a lot of resources from the outside world to sustain their high standard of living.

 

 A cargo ship from Manila docked at the Tacloban Port of Samar. The shipment consisted of heavy equipment. Bulldozers, payloaders, graders and dump trucks. When customs examined the bill of lading, the official was surprised to see the destination listed as Biringan City. The_ whole cargo was sent back to the shipper. But it never returned, to Manila. Unofficially, customs expects this equipment was delivered to its intended destination.

   

The Engkantos sometimes take outsiders as mates.  In order that the kidnapping will never be discovered, the death of the victim, will be staged, by way of "accident", or by a fatal illness that takes only a few hours. In reality, the person never genuinely dies, but instead is replaced. The grieving family is left with a dead body, manufactured to look and feel like the victim. 

                There are three reasons why they take human life. First is to love you, secondly they have pity on you and third is having your arrears on them.

 

There's a couple ways for normal humans, to reach the Hidden City. Number one. You may enter through agate ways . gate ways are said to exist in the cities of San Jorge, Gandara, Calbayog and Catarman. A gate way may coincide with a certain rock or tree. Or the gate ways may be without landmark, in the middle of a field. Number two.You can drive there. But only if you are lost.

A taxi was following its route from Gandara to San Jorge. At about the halfway point, it had already discharged its passenger. That's when the driver stopped to pick up two young ladies. Their destination was off the main route, but they offered to pay three times the amount of his usual fare, so he agreed. The girls climbed into the back seat. They di_rected him down a road he did not know. In due time he was passing by a strange city. He turned his head to ask the girls about it, but they were gone. When he looked back out the window, and the city too had disappeared.

I'm not sure what the point of down voting and repirting this post is. R+ as you put a lot into this and I don't think you believe the Wakanda inspired story.

Why Tornites have such a hateon for imagination?

They all have FAS? no philtrum is one of the easily enough noticed symptoms..

This is a very intrepid spam but sadly i dont have time to read it tonight. Maybe tomorrow!

It will probably be in the squeaking forum by then AKA the graveyard.

Be Brave!
