...Human Headed Dog...
...Citizen Livestock Eaters...
My name is Jamal. Now, I am 20 years old and live in the village of Anjir Serapat Tengah Km.12.5 Kuala Kapuas.
Because of what happened last night. I did not sleep well thinking about the fate of my chickens, but thank God only two were eaten and it seemed like it was a ferret.
That morning I wrapped the ashes that would be sold. It's quite profitable because a lot of ash from the burning container comes from the rice mill next to my house.
“Ka Jamal! Request a response!” yelled Pihan calling me.
“That's the guy,” show Akmal approaching soon with Fazri and Ipul.
“Begging kataapi Ka,” said Pihan to me.
“Putik ja buhan kam, there is ai kakajuknya there (Just pick you yourself, there is a pole there).” I was busy wrapping the ashes.
“For what to use the pole, there will be Fazri ready to climb,” said Ipul.
“Just fuck you this Pul. If one of you falls, I will be blamed,” scold me.
“Ipul-ipul,” sahut Akmal while quoting fallen fruit.
“Situ Han, there are many!” fazri shouted at Pihan who was trying to pick with bamboo pole.
After a long time. Suddenly, Ipul and Fazri are heard fighting. “That's mine Pul, right the part is flat!” shout Fazri.
“Ai also buhankam anam, napa pusku five (your six, my time is five),” replied Ipul did not accept.
“Kan already you eat first than us,” reply Fazri began to be upset.
“Roll Pul. Napa kam nih assorted yes (Return Pul. What the fuck are you, all sorts of things,” said Pihan.
“Aduh Ipul-Ipul. Could be tonight you were visited by a human-headed dog because of your behavior,” said Akmal even make me curious.
I approached them too. “This let me quote again.” I immediately told them to stop fighting.
“Is my ghost (there are such rich ghosts)?” ask Pihan.
“Serious language. My charity chased him last night to eat my grandfather's chicken. Abis three tail because of him,” he replied a little loud.
“In his karamputinya hakun (in lie would)” said Ipul.
“This continues,” reply Akmal looks stare annoyed.
“Emang how was it originally?” askaku while giving fruit to each one.
“At that time said Amang Sahid, he just came home from the post. Well, just want to enter the house, suddenly even hear the sound of krauk-krauk that, rich people are eating. Pas seen to the side of the house, it turns out there are human-headed dogs eating ravenous chicken my grandfather,” Akmal said.
“Luckily there was a machete that seemed to have forgotten to be brought in. Then Amang Sahid shouted for help while chasing humans so-called machete. Unfortunately he went to the rubber garden behind the house, so it came off!” continued.
“Emang only his head is rich in hadupan (dog)?” ask Fazri.
“Just his head. And his mouth was covered with blood flowing to his body that was not wearing clothes. He also only wears shorts,” replied Akmal.
Hearing her story made me a little horrified. “There are only rich people,” said Pihan felt astonished and afraid.

In the afternoon I went to the substation to talk together. It has become a habit to just relax and chat with other residents. From far away it looked silent, and sure enough, there was only Agus and Zainal.
It has become commonplace to see Agus with his holster and white peci, as well as Zainal who always invited him to play chess. “Manaan again this person (Where else are the people)?” my many.
“Most sleep with his wife,” replied Zainal who was in his 30s.
“Ha ha .. The atmosphere is cold so it is getting better," said Agus laughing.
“How is your chicken cattle Mal?” ask Zainal.
“Alhamdulillah just fine, but last night eaten by a weasel two tails.”
“Do not human-headed dogs that eat!” agus Sahut.
“Fear too, what else said Akmal, his grandfather's chicken at the meal, Sahid who lehat then chasing with machetes.”
“Di Handil Gardu already happened first to appear and make a stir. Now they will tighten guard night,” said Zainal.
“He said in our handlers already two nights, people so-the incident was seen by residents who often go home to work when they were late. Some see, he walks casually in the middle of the street without a shirt and only wears shorts."
"Think of an ordinary person, fitting called he immediately ran to the side leading to the rubber garden opposite handil. He immediately jumped across,” said Agus telling a story.
“People who saw earlier immediately ran away, after seeing his head that was in the shape of a dog with longer ears,”.
“My chicken just suddenly reduced this morning. The person next to me is the same. Not only us, it turns out, other residents also experienced similar things. It could have been the same person,” said Zainal.
“Pun kam that weed base eaten (punyamu it was eaten by a ferret huh)?” ask Agus.
“Ease the base of the civet amun because of manusiatu, be ready if this bebulik again (Hopefully it is a ferret, if it is because of the man, just be ready if he returns again),” replied Zainal making me feel scared if that would happen. If so, then what should I do.

It was already magrib. I also went home. After that I went to the shop to buy necessities.
“Mang buy sugar equal coffee.”
"Just a moment, yes" he answered.
“Akmal Teach, Dahid manyasahi menage-headed dog jar, good luck (said Akmal, Sahid chasing human-headed dog, really?” ask amang stall while giving what I ask.
“In fact Mang, humans so-called events do exist, even already stirring the residents of handil substations said amang Zainal.”
“She also ate chicken. Got a kai Rusdi yesterday also there's a dead with the remaining leg equal head. Fortunately only one tail,” replied amang warung.
“Means we need to be careful-ha-” Not finished I talk, suddenly heard the sound of a dog howling, and worse again when we saw the dog was in the middle of the road in a straight direction to my house.
“Well what's up Mal. Hurry you'll be home soon. If he calls his friends, later you can not go home because in their care ha ha ha ..” said amang warung manakutiku. I just laughed too.

Towards Isya I went to the hangar for congregational prayer. When berwudu on the faucet, again heard a dog barking. This time his voice sounded earthy with monkeys in the darkness of the rubber garden behind the house. For some reason, when they hear their voices, it makes them feel more uncomfortable.
“It looks like they are fighting,” said Haji Sabran when he just came out of his house next to the breach.
“Upload, now many stray dogs in our place.”
“Sumalam there are only how many bikung ja, wahini babanyak (yesterday there are only a few ekur only, now more and more),” answer walked up to me.
We both listened quietly to their voices. I don't know why the more I hear it the more it gives me goosebumps.
“Let's go to the hangar,” hajj Sabran. I nodded and followed him behind.

That night I lived alone in the house because my mother was there and spent the night at the brother's house. I felt free to watch tv until late at night.
As I watched, it felt like a faint sound was heard beside my house, like someone accidentally stepped on a plastic glass trash.
I immediately turned down the volume of the TV. Sure enough, the sound was now heard loudly scavenging for garbage beside my house, right near the chicken coop. I don't know the power from which I even dared to see what really happened.
I went to the front door and immediately opened without a second thought, until it was shocked to see a goat-sized dog right in the yard, when I immediately slammed the door.
While calming down by leaning against the door, the dog barked. I was wondering who he was barking at, so I saw it from the windshield of the house.
As I looked, the dog kept barking up to the top of the tree in the yard, and to make matters worse, there was no one there.
I immediately locked the door, running towards the lit TV. Turn off all outside lights and immediately enter the room. Covering yourself with a blanket, forget what happened by trying to sleep in the middle of the night that continues to dissolve.
I also managed to sleep even though it felt like it was only a short while. The sound of the chicken woke me up. I was annoyed I ignored him too. But they did not stop continuing to sound louder. Because I can't sleep anymore, I feel really upset.
I quickly got up and opened the window. I was so sure it must have been a weasel yesterday, that I planned to hit him with the stick I was wearing locking the window.
Without a flashlight I looked around very dark. Suddenly a strange smell pierced my nose, and this time mixed with the fishy smell of blood.
I also tried to see more clearly and badly, I was surprised by a human being crouched not wearing clothes, only wearing short black pants.
Realizing my presence she stood up slowly and turned to face me. At that time I could do nothing but remain terrified. He walked up to me without taking off the raw chicken piece in his hand.
His whole body and face covered in blood made the stomach nauseous to see him. He looked at me and groaned, showing sharp teeth with the face of a yellow-haired dog to the brown.
I just lay down and scream. “Please-please!”
“Please ... Help u! There's a human being so-genesis!” that's what I keep shouting.
Man so-called events immediately ran towards the pile of ash from the rice mill, and also bamboo fields and banana trees behind my house. I immediately closed the window and went out of the house to ask the people for help.
I felt lucky because at that time it turned out that there were people who got a guard turn on patrol. People next to my house came out with machetes, some even carrying air rifles.
“Where does he go Mal?” ask Haji Sabran who came out.
“She's towards the ash field behind the house, straight to the rubber garden.”
“Then it seems like it can no longer be pursued. If you have entered the rubber garden we have certainly lost track,” Sahid said who took part in the night vigil.
Me and the other residents also looked at my chicken coop that had been damaged. When I calculated it turned out that he had managed to eat three tails. I don't want to just let it go.
Because almost in the morning I decided to come with Sahid to patrol the village.
Next day. From then on RT and other residents tightened the night watch, and from then on the dog-headed man was not heard anymore. Both in Handil Mantat and Handil next door.
The human-headed cattle-eating dog was lost to be swallowed over time, until all that remained was just an ordinary horror story.
