Terry was right. He was as dead as a dinosaur in a few hours. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't aware yet. The first few moments as a spirit are always very disconcerting. Your mind, unaware of the state change, still believes everything is the way it used to be. Subconsciously, you try to force physics into the spirit world. How can I be flying down a vast tunnel and still look at myself lying spread-eagled close to the riverbank? Practically impossible. Conclusion: I'm dreaming. Terry told himself he was dreaming. A nice dream, for a change. No abusive stepfather waiting for him with a leather whip, no sick mother to blame him for everything that ever goes wrong, or some bullies stalking him at school. He was free. Free at last. So he decided to relax. The tunnel was big and boundless, and it was full of floating dots. Dots that Terry soon realized were humans.People floating in the tunnel? Damn crazy?...no! He surely must have heard something like that before. Something about t

The island of Eldo was populated by the first and dominant Irish settlers, then the Muslim settlers from Asia, and later by African traditional worshipers. Yet, despite the fusion of different religions and personalities, Eldo's settlers believe in living and letting others live. A few months ago, the peace of the whole island was shattered by the murder of a nineteen-year-old student of Anderson College. Investigations were made, suspects were arrested and a trial began. Finally, all the suspects were discharged and acquitted as a result of lack of evidence, and Terry's case was swept under the carpet.Kaul was among the earthbound demons that ruled the earth for five thousand years before they were cast into a ghoul. Today, the memories of his glorious days flashed through his mind as he barreled down the pulsating corridor at a quickened pace. The apartment was a mess, but getting good accommodation in this neighborhood was sheer hell. Why on earth would they choose this old aband

I want to leave this body, Terry thought. I want to just float out the same way I came in. And that's what he did, detached himself like a wet Band-Aid, flopping to the ground beside a suddenly exhausted Jimmy. Jimmy's lungs were pumped to bursting, and his legs shook like reeds, "Oh! You have not only broken my mother's favorite chair, but now you have made me break our television. What have you gotten me into, Terry?""It's okay, Jimmy," Terry mumbled to pacify his near-to-tears friend."You know, for a second there..." Jimmy puffed. "For a second there, I was scared and thought I was dying.""It's kinda eerie to me as well.""So, why are you back, Terry?""You won't believe it?""Try me.""I'm back to capture some earthbound demons and then send them back to Ghoul."Jimmy snorted. He had believed Terry came to haunt those who killed him, and anything besides that wasn't welcome in his ear. "What about Bobby and his gang of hyenas?""Well," Terry said. "I may pay them a visit sinc

Blue sits beside the television and watches as his colleague possesses Bobby. It was all fun, and he was laughing hysterically. Suddenly, he heard a knock. Out of curiosity, Blue slipped through the room wall and appeared beside Terry and Jimmy. Terry's hologram instantly screamed out. "That's one of the earthbound demons, Terry. He is standing in front of you. Pull out your gun and shoot him back to Ghoul.""Oh, no," Blue screamed and tried to vanish into the thin air, but Terry was faster than he had imagined. Terry immediately pointed the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. A puff...puff sound was heard, and the earthbound demon instantly turned to smoke.Terry who just shoots blindly to a space in front of him asks, "Is the demon dead?"Jimmy wasn't aware of the presence of the supernatural, but he saw Terry pulling out his banana and then pointing it at a space. And out of fear, he leaped out of the pointed banana"You just killed your first demon, Terry. Congratulations

Judas dragged his feet through the lonely church. Not that the church was deserted or Judas was alone, it was filled to the brim with demons. But the supernatural was unseen by Judas' human eyes. Judas has no reason to be here. Why here when he could get what he needs elsewhere? He can get it from a place that is not as scary as here. But then, something had been beckoning him to come here, and he wasn't the type who shied away from summoning. The echoes of his shoes made an eerie sound as he walked towards the end of the church. Judas was scared, not because of the eerie sound from his footsteps, but because of this strange and nauseating smell. He had been smelling it since he stepped inside. Like a mixture of sulfur and some unknown chemicals. Moments later, Judas' boldness leaves him and he feels like running out of there. If only his feet would obey the command from his brain. Coming here was a bad idea after all. But what's the point in going back since he was here? The best he
