Deal With The Dead

Story told by:

A man was greedy and desperate. He wanted to be rich quick, so he resorted to help from "the other side". He summoned a pontianak (widely known as a female vampire) through certain methods and asked to win the upcoming lottery. The pontianak agreed with a measly payment, that she be offered 7 watermelons of different shapes, sizes and weight by the evening of him winning the lottery.

Sure enough, the following day he struck first prize. As promised, he brought the offerings to her later that evening. When she was done, she asked him to please take the watermelons away and dispose of them properly. But, being a little drunk (as he was having a celebration drinking session with his buddies), he just said "Fuck it, just leave it there for all I care".

Then, he left. As he was driving home (which was around 20 minutes away) a sudden wave of fatigue hit him, and he knew he'd get into an accident if he continued driving. So he parked by the side of the road and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, he woke up to the sound of his hand phone ringing. It was the police. Apparently there was a murder in his house. He quickly rushed home.
What he saw was clearly horrifying. There, lying on his bed was his wife, 2 children, parents in-law, father and uncle dead, with their heads rotated 180 degrees. All 7 of them.

A week later, he was found trying to destroy a tomb in a cemetery. He was caught and brought to a mental institute for rehabilitation.

And the moral of the story is: do not resort to help from the dead.
