John was having a nice dream. The kind of dream you hate to be woken up from. So when he heard a noise inside his room, John woke with anger and glared around. A moment later, his eyes became huge when he discovered the source of the noise.

"I hate killing people in their sleep," the man standing in front of John with a pointed gun said. "And did you know why?" He asked and then resumed his speech without waiting for John's response, "because I would hate to be killed in my sleep as well. And the reason is because I would love to see the face of my killer so that I can haunt him or her in my next life."

John stared at the invader. Apart from his eyes and nose, all his body parts were paralyzed and his brain refused to give any command to wake them up.

After a growl-kind of a laugh, the assassin asked, "Won't you ask me who am I, who sent me, or how I gained access to your well-guarded house?"

John stammered back, "I...I may not...not know how you entered, but I know..know who you ar

    The first visitors to the abandoned church were the cleaning agency, and before the truck from the Shoplift store arrived, the dirty church was swept, washed, and then sprayed with nice fragrances. In a few hours, everywhere was as clean as the road to heaven. The goods delivered consist of pieces of audio equipment, sets of drums, speakers, microphones, sets of furniture, a video projector, and lightning. Based on Judas' instructions, everything was packed inside the room attached to the church. As soon as the Shoplift store's truck drove out of the compound, another truck drove in, it consisted of the builders that were assigned to renovate the church, their workers, and the materials needed to get their work done. Throughout the time humans spend in the church, Ale and the rest of the demons sit as quietly as a demon can, and their eyes watch the ongoing project. After making sure everything needed was available, Judas gestured to Ale to come with him to a deserted part of the chu

  • THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS    THE JOKES OF THE SEASON

    Apart from the new paint on the wall, the house was exactly the way Terry remembered it. Same furniture, same electronics, same tiles, and the same stench of alcohol and medicines. His stepdad was sitting at his favorite position before the television, his eyes red as a result of excessive alcohol, and saliva was drooling out of the corner of his mouth as he screamed at the rugby player who missed a golden chance. As for his mother, she was sitting on a chair at the end of the sitting room. Her face was pale and soft moaning occasionally escaped from her partly close mouth. "This is where I grew up," Terry informed Holo as they stepped into the well-furnished sitting room.The ball of light turned around and then offered a smile, "except for the dirtiness and the nauseating smell, this is not bad for a room.""Well, it wasn't like this in the beginning," Terry said as the memory of his childhood flowed into his mind. His mother was a strong and energetic woman, and his father was a l

    The renovation of the abandoned church continued the following day. And sound of hammers can be heard as they hit the nails on the heads. By midday, the workers all gathered in front of the church gate for their break. Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared and walked towards the men. The man was short and thin with a wide nose, while the woman was plumpy and had a habit of picking her nose with the middle finger of her left hand."Who is in charge here?" The man asked. His voice was extraordinarily loud for his stature."Are you asking for our boss or the one in charge of this church?" The foreman asked back. He was a tall and good-looking man, and always had a smile on his face. It was the woman who answered back, "the one in charge of the church, of course. What did we need your boss for?""That is Mr. Judas. You will see him inside the church premises," the foreman replied. The two visitors both nodded their heads and then walked towards the church premises. Just as they were tol

    Ale had finally allowed Tulip to go. An action he hated doing but did nevertheless. As the only suspected member of the church who may have informed the police about Danny's presence inside the cell in the church underground, Ale had tortured Tulip, made him pull out his front tooth, and then forced him to chop off the last finger on his left leg. All through the pain and torture, Tulip maintains his innocence. He wasn't the one who called the cops. He had no reason to. Unfortunately for Ale, he no longer has access to Tulip's memory because the host has now grown immune to the parasite. No way to prove Tulip's crime, or innocence.Even though Ale vowed to get to the root of this, he had no choice but to let Tulip go. "I will search for you when I have needs of you.

  • THE DEAD DON'T SPEAK

    Several questions raced through Danny's mind as he glared at the officers in front of him. Had the officers known about any of his recent crimes? Is that why they are here? It must be his recent robbery...or, maybe the kidnapping. No, it was his last money laundering mission!But Danny's confusion was put to rest when an officer smiled at him and then stretched his arm towards him. They won't smile at me if they believe I'm guilty of any crime. I think I'm the victim here, Danny thought and was able to breathe easily after. "Your wounds were bad, lad. You need to see the doctor immediately. Don't worry, these men will be punished for abducting and torturing you."Judas and Tulip appeared at the back of the cops, and their presence made Danny skip his breath and then push the officer's arm away."Nobody abducted me, officer. I am here on my own free will."The officers were shocked. What did he mean when he said he was here on his own free will? Danny was locked up in a cell. A well-f

Something needs to be done." Terry said.While Jimmy informed Holo to tell Saint Peter to send more ghosts, Holo would not take any of that. According to the body of light, the saint is already taking a great risk by sending Terry. A risk that can cost him his job if it gets to the wrong ears. Why should he add more?Terry suggests going to the police, but Jimmy disagrees. He hates the police. His hatred started from their handling of Terry's murder. Holo's suggestion was the craziest of all, but what were you expecting?"Let's put fire on the church and burn it to the ground.

  • BLIND FAITH

    Thomas and Maria were happy again. They have every reason to be. Thomas was no longer bitter and sour-looking, he had quit smoking and no longer drink. As for Maria, she had suddenly been healed of all her mysterious sickness. Unknown to her, her narcissistic husband had been feeding her drugs to get sick and not to heal her. Her sickness was a result of an abused use of drugs. In other words, Maria was healthy until Thomas started telling her she was sick and then started feeding her with drugs. But since their return from the church, Thomas had either forgotten his vengeance against his wife or was too preoccupied to embark on it. Either way, Maria was as strong as a bull, and flesh could be seen where bones were previously sticking out. Her yellow eyeballs had turned back to white, and her skin now shone instead of wrinkling. She was a pleasant sight to behold. Today, Maria was seen playing a virtual game on her newly bought phone when a car drove into their compound and a man

  • ADVANTAGE OF BEING HUMAN

That's one of the advantages of being human. After attending to his morning chores, which involved a brief meeting with the teaching and non-teaching staff, a short meeting with the vice president, and then attending to some teacher's and students' complaints, Druid was free at last. Free to attend to his personal needs, and surfing the web was a priority. Druid pulled his laptop closer and began to type on the keyboards. He soon found what he wanted, and a kind of smile began to grow on his lips as he checked the men's profiles one by one. Among the profiles checked, only one stands out. They were called the Doom twins, and they specialized in assassination, armed robbery, and kidnapping. Craig loves one thing about them, their high rate of successful operations. Unfortunately, this means their fee w

Instead of running through the compound, out of the gate, into her car parked outside, she did the opposite. Betty emerged inside the vast compound, turned left, began to circle the building, and then stopped at the direct opposite of her starting point. Here was where the garage was located, and inside the garage was Betty's favorite car. A mustang. It was a limited edition. Gave to her by her father on her eighteen years old birthday. The car started immediately she pressed the green button, and she was out of the garage after. She drove straight, towards the area of the fence covered with molasses. As soon as her Mustang hit the spot, pieces of wood shattered. It was the family's secret escape route. Betty placed the back of her right palm on her head, her left hand on the steering wheel, and h

  • AN EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION

For this, Tulip will forever be grateful to him. Tulip had a bigger smile when Thomasville gestured to him to hop on the bike and go. "Call me if he ever bothers you again," Thomasville had said in the presence of the officer. Tulip could still remember the officer's face when he realized he had been curtail. A face full of defeat and anger. He didn't feel sorry for him.
