This is a short horror story presented as a case file from the Department of Metaphysical Sciences (DMS). It is written for readers who enjoy supernatural fiction, folklore-based horror, and narrative twists. The story is framed by a detective who claims to know the true identity of the creature terrorizing Ormoc City, Leyte.
The detective reveals that the creature is an Aswang, a mythical creature from Philippine folklore, and that it is actually a senior high school boy named Miguel. The narrative describes Miguel's daily routine: attending school impatiently, then transforming at night to fly from house to house, devouring everyone inside. The police are unable to catch him.
The story includes a flashback to Miguel's middle school years, where he was bullied by a boy named Renz. After crying himself to sleep, a voice told him to awaken and remember his true nature. He decided humans deserved no mercy and swore to find and devour Renz, who had moved away.
In the present, Miguel learns Renz has joined S.W.A.T. He plans an ambush at the S.W.A.T. base but instead attacks the RedDoorz hotel. The S.W.A.T. arrives and raids the hotel. Miguel spots Renz but flees to avoid exposure, then secretly follows Renz through the city before losing sight of him.
The story concludes with the detective asking how he knew Miguel's thoughts and actions, implying he was present during the events. The final line suggests the detective himself is the Aswang, leaving the mystery unresolved.
