The Old Church - #1
"Many people wondered why scary things happen when it's dark, especially when there is an unexplainable blackout. Why do thieves' devices plan and think that it's best carried out at night? Why do most people die at night? I have spent the night in a hospital when most of the patients died before daybreak. I have also gone to numerous fetish festivals that perform sacrifices. Why perform this sacrifice at night? One thing is for certain. The dark is one symbolic entity where bad, strange, and dangerous things happen. Though some love the night because they could see the moon in its full glory-"
Gbam! Sholay fidgeted as the chief editor slammed the manuscript on the table. He is known for this physical demonstration of vexation particularly when things don't go his way. He doesn't care about the process or the research one has gone through but the finished product.
ayGaiusDon't ask me how I came about the story because I can't remember how. Maybe it was a dream I once dreamt about and had haunted me throughout the years or maybe it was a story my Grandmama told me as a little child when she wanted me to learn a lesson. She could have said so because I needed to learn to mind my own business especially when I told her I intended to be a journalist. I had loved the Cruise that came with it and lived but most times the fear was a great tool, or tool that had knocked out my courage. But some special people seem to withstand the emotion and contend with the consequences. Did they scale through? Did she?

Tramping slowly as if intoxicated through a maze of wall dry creeping growth hang on the wall. She walked barefooted to hide away the sounds her footstep may give. Her heavy sign echoed through the wall. Walking aimlessly with no sense of direction, a faint cry alerted her of impending danger. A little girl appeared in the shadows. She stretched forth her tiny hands. She saw that they were stained with blood."Where are your parents?" She asked moving cautiously towards her."Helpme," she said moving backward into the shadow creating a means to make her a bit as she follows. Hearing the heavy stump of feet behind her was not enough to divert her attention."Sholay, I'm here don't go" Laura dressed in a bright blue pantsuit shouted to get her attention but it was of no help.Finally, Sholay got close to the little girl.

The sun had sunk behind the distant mountaintops and a purple glow of the sunset remained in the sky. The guests are beginning to arrive from long queues of limousines and beautiful expensive cars. The vehicles waited for a moment in the driveway for their occupants to step out. From a black vehicle, Sholay stepped out in an extremely feminine and romantic red dress shimmered with silver floral patterns that framed and enhanced her hidden beauty. Although she wasn't feeling anywhere near as cheerful as she should. She had hoped to enjoy the night.Marcus also emerged, an average height in a black tuxedo though a little plump on the stomach. He held out his hands and guided her to the stairs. He had carried his camera on his neck.

She parked the car. The gentle rippling click of the key turning away from the ignition was crisp into the silence. For a brief moment, she waited feeling at the stillness. Clustered on the summit of the towering mound, the fractured rooftop of the old church hovered on the hill. Poised in the cloud-like a rubbled dust-drenched lighthouse beacon. She stood watching, puzzled by a heart-stopping sense of loss vaguely troubled. She saw the house adjacent to the old church, the one Mr. Joe had told her was his. Grabbing her luggage, she paused outside for a moment to take in the cool breeze. From somewhere in the old church, a bell began to toll on. She glanced towards the sound. The bell had a tower above it. It made the church look like an ancient house with a chimney. Remembering she had come with a camera, she took out from her car and began to snap pictures. The melancholy resonance echoed through the hills. Seeping through her tired body.The overcast of rolling clouds

The blaze of the sun wrung pops of sweat from Sholay's forehead, yet she drew the comforter over her body. The fragrance smell of coffee filled the room. Laura emerged with, a sartorial vision of elegant grooming in a black striped designer blouse. The sleeves of which she had pushed up her arms and well-cut black trousers. The jacket of a business suit lay on her arm. Carrying a teacup filled with coffee, she laid her jacket on the back of a chair close to her dressing table. "Sholay, wake up!" Laurel moved over and flip the comforter away from her body. She grumbled as she became awake. Yawning to her content "When did you get back?" "I called but didn't pick I sent you a voice message."

"We need protection" "There's no need, I want you now" she ordered grabbing his hands away from my waist as she held them above his held in hostage. She began to ride him rubbing her ass against his balls, dancing to an unknown beat only she could hear. As the drums in her head began to beat, she increased her pace. Panting heavily, their moans and groans were overshadowed by the music playing from the club. "I'm going to -" he forced out. He couldn't help himself. She's too good, just too good. He hasn't felt anything like this before. Staring down at his dilate,d her eyes suddenly became darkly clouded. Overwhelmed by the zeal to touch the vein on his neck. She grasped it.

After Doctor Kane had given her an overdose of Librium, he excused himself from the ward and spoke with Laura in his office."It appears she has a hyperkinetic disorder" he declared."A what?""At least we think it is. We have to examine her by running some other tests," He explained.A confused Laura glared at the doctor."You know a disorder with the nerves. For a fact, I'm assuming she is pretty much ill hence the vomit. We've already sent the samples to the lab. I should get the sample soon""She going to be okay, right?" Standing to her feet her forehead gave out cracked lines as she asked worriedly."We will try our best. One more please, fill in her health history on the form provided at the reception"The doctor excused himself and gave Sholay a complete examination which included taking a blood sample as a urine sample had been taken earlier and sent to the lab with the vomit samples.

The aura around her felt like something was burning. "Can you smell it?" She asked."The cleaning agent? Yes. You will get used to it" Nurse D replied.It wasn't a detergent she had smelled but rather something organic like burning flesh. Like a lump of burnt meat."Is there a kitchen?""Yes, it's down the hall""Oh"It seemed it's from the kitchen. She thought.On getting to the Lab, they entered an examination room where she was told to strip naked.

She could feel all her nerves. She felt abnormally strange, her senses seemed elevated. Her heart beats fast as if pumped with Adrenaline. She was scared. Afraid of what she might become. "I can't go back there" She had thought of going back to Bloomfield Psychiatry. She thought of Nurse D and what he had said as they dispersed. "Anyone close to me ends up dying." She couldn't bear for that to happen again. She came across a red light and stopped before the traffic light. Suddenly, a church door by the road opened. People busted through the road on the zebra line. She glanced at the big church, then a thought dropped on her mind and her worried face was transformed into a smile. Gone were the weary lines.
