The Tracks and the Mystery Trainer
POV 1 – Pak Udin
The next day, I installed a tiny CCTV at my fritter stall. Not for safety—but to capture the goat on video.
But when it passed by, the footage… was blurry. Like in a horror movie. A chicken walks past—clear as day. But the goat? A shadowy blur.
Weird. I tried playing it in slow motion: there was another shadow beside the goat. It looked like… a small human. Like a child. But its movements weren't quite human.
Since then, I've had strange dreams. The goat sits at my stall, buys fritters… then says, "One stuffed tofu, two bakwans. Your life is bland, Pak."

POV 2 – Rara
On the third day, I brought a carrot to give to the goat if it passed by. But it just zoomed past and suddenly… made a "ting-ting!" sound—like an ice cream bell.
I'm sure it was a signal.
Now my classmates believe me. We started "KPKR"—The Roller-Goat Investigators Club.
Our mission? Discover its origin. No way a goat like that was born in a regular barn.

POV 3 – Bu Darmi
One resident, Bu Sumarni, swore she saw the goat enter an old abandoned house that hadn't been touched in years.
When we checked… nothing. But there were wheel marks in the dirt.
We called a cleric, a priest, even a shaman. The results?
The cleric said: "Could be a jinn." The priest said: "Maybe a restless spirit." The shaman said: "Ah, this is a sign. The village will go viral this year."
And they were right. Reporters started showing up. Even a paranormal reality show team got involved.

POV 4 – Agung
My friends and I used a drone to track the goat's path. But our drone crashed every time it got close. Like there was a magnetic field.
We also analyzed the wheel tracks with infrared sensors. But the temperature? Cold—not hot.
Logic couldn't explain it.
One of my friends—Dani—started believing the goat is an interdimensional being. He said he saw something similar on a conspiracy subreddit.
And honestly… I'm starting to believe it too.

POV 5 – Mbah Kromo
When I was young, I saw Topel too. But back then, he didn't wear roller skates. He jumped from rooftop to rooftop like a thief, but… he was a goat.
They say if Topel returns, it's because the balance of the world is cracking. Too many people being serious—forgetting to laugh, to play.
The goat doesn't appear to be caught, but to remind us:
"Life is not about chasing—it's about gliding."

Interesting Fact:
Strange animal behaviors (like dancing chickens or stair-climbing cows) often appear in global folklore as signs of reality bending. In modern culture, "weird but real" creatures often become viral symbols that unite bored or restless communities.
Philosophy:
In a life full of routine, sometimes the silliest things are exactly what we need to feel alive. We laugh at the goat—but maybe… it's really holding up a mirror to us.
Local Rumor:
Legend says, anyone who manages to touch the goat will receive 77 days of good luck. But… no one has succeeded. Yet.
