Twenty Eight
It was almost as if life had gone back to normal.
Darkness crept in that Sunday night and with it a mild chill as the moon dangled in the sky; a miscellany of milky white and pale blue, encompassed with silvery stars.Crickets carolled in their chappy voice seeking mates. Millipedes and centipedes built small holes that they snuck in to keep themselves warm and in the morning, when they were out to go about their business - which was primarily being a marvel to school kids, birds of the sky and fowls of the Earth had them for breakfast.
Rabbits hopped around with the bushy tails, feeding on Conifer needles, twigs, buds, wildflowers and greenplants whilst hoping and taking glances at the bright blue sky which was getting brighter as the sun emerged, that no hawk swooped down on them.
Even those living on No. 3, Atholl Esplanade weren't left out of the Sunday miracle which hopefully, will extend all through Monday and

As Eallric knocked on the iron gate that had a couple of black, gleaming tridents separated from each other by few inches at its top - to forestall petty burglars that might want to climb over the gate and into the institute's vicinity, the husky gate let out a soft cry like a hawk's chirrup from afar, and opened a little, giving way for Eallric to go in whilst slightly revealing a polished ground that had a dull white hue and about fifty metres from it, one of the two buildings of the Calgibrie Forensic Pathology Institute.Eallric cautiously stepped through the gates and into its vicinity. It was empty - at least, from the outside.The two buildings which were about the same size, both with a creamy hue - elegantly modelled, thoroughly ornamented and about three storeys each with cloud-blue spiky decors cutting up their edge from up to down, stood side by side from the other like two celebrities that had worked their way to stardom, meeting each other

Eallric tried hard to hide his jittery hands and stammering lips and to keep his over-analyzing brain stable by the incredible piece of information he'd gotten.It was absolutely no mistake that the scientist - Yurio Reqapeu, had said what he did. At least, not to Eallric Hancey of the Police Department located in Mariners Spur, Ingfalls. It was a miracle!Eallric's brain swapped images in his heads rapidly like a pack of cards being shuffled - from young, naive soldiers as strong as three white stallions being injected with the Pathogen Enhancers, to the soldiers slumping and dying - perhaps coughing out blood and with an intense migraine - a few hours later, for the only reason that they love their country.“Isn't there any other way the government can tackle those - creatures and keep us safe without losing soldiers?”Yurio continued with his present task like he hadn't heard what he was told. He

“What do you do?” Gerey asked Jeyrin, the four feet tall creature which was absurd and unearthly.He wished all of it was a dream, a trance, mere hallucination and he'll wake up soon to realize that they'd just been fantasies, but Jeyrin, with its large pale eyes like a child severly infected with apollo stood before Eallric, answering his questions, as real as life.“I help around.”“Do you know any spells? As in, magic?”“Uhm - no? Is that a problem?” It leaped off his bed onto the ground with much ease and expertise. Gerey leaned forward on his warm bed to see it.It was lithe, swift and lively.“Nah - I guess not. And how are you able to speak - English?”“I - don't know. I can just speak it. Let's call it my magic.” Jeyrin winked at Gerey with its yellow ey

As Gerey dropped his leather bag on a shelf - the fifth row when counted from below, he noticed that his bag was opened wide and Jeyrin wasn't in it which came as a rude shock leading to the visibility of his green veins as his arms hardened.Jeyrin was somewhere in the library, of course. Gerey was very sure of that but couldn't say where he was exactly which was a huge bother and definitely not what he wanted.Jeyrin was no ordinary pet. No. He could walk on both legs and communicate verbally with humans and communicate his emotions undoubtedly, too. So far, on earth, it was its only kind of its specie - making its worth beyond price; a treasure, a gem and a breakthrough in nature. Definitely, Gerey couldn't lose it just like that.He turned back to look at the Librarian who was flipping through a book with crisp, dusty, yellow pages with a crammed expression on her face which gave her th

Eallric grabbed a firm hold of the blue spiral binded that appeared even bluer as the blue light bulb that hang below from the center of the plastered ceiling immersed it and everyone else - Artin Dane, Eallric Hancey, Sir. Oswic Osbald and the two scientists whom Eallric couldn't see because they had their back to him, in it.He wanted to leave the classy Calgibrie Forensic Pathology Institute with all its new, shiny equipments and head over to the Police Department at Mariners Spur to study the document in his hands - Artin and Oswic had their own copies with them, too, but he was awestruck, in a trance - hypnotic, and couldn't take his eyes off the black, muddy, slime - which was the portal to the other universe; the devil's abode, that danced around a particular spot.“Behold! The future is now upon us!” One of the scientists announced, clapped his hands loudly, and turned back before a look of surprise came over him as he

Chief Inspector Eallric Hancey walked down Mariners Spur with the warm wind pushing in his opposite direction as he passed by white marbled high rising buildings with splendid gardens and peaceful patios, to seedy bungalows that screamed ‘Penury’ and ‘Paucity’ in silence; side by side one another.This was one of the moments Eallric wished his Peugeot 404 was with him - and not in the slothful hands of his mechanic whom Eallric could bet wasn't half done with his vehicle.Withheld anger swept through him at the thought for he was not being as mobile as he wanted because of his lazy repairman, then, sequences of memories in quick successions played in his subconscious and the source of his anger gradually shifted from his machinist to the Calgibrie Forensic Pathology Institute on Bart Row.He walked on still, down Mariners Spur, with the document in his hand; a few pages flipping with the wind, and came

“What'd you say?”Gerey asked, fully diverting his attention to the Jeyrin - the brownie whose eyes were wide and shining from below the table.“A tyronimic. It's coming - fast. In my world, we are trained to use our acute smell detection to keep safe. We can tell tyronimics from, Certoana, Xaryan and other - beasts, to the ones that crawl to ones that fly.”A tyronimic was coming. Gerey heard Jeyrin perfectly well this time around. He turned to survey the vicinity.A woman - who was getting frustrated, was pointing at a colour book to her daughter who had no interest, “I said pink.” Not far from the woman and her daughter was a family - the mother and two daughters having ridiculously large dotted bows hanging from their light brown hair making them look like gifts waiting to be unwrapped. The father was picking books on arithmetic for them with a scowl on his face.

Suddenly, the cheers, applauds and gaiety showered on Gerey felt irking and irritating, too, like tasting the slime of a slug.He pushed the happy chants of the ‘Ingfallers’ which were in hundreds out of his mind as he gripped his black bag firmly, and turned his head side ways in a frenzy, searching for Jeyrin.He didn't mind that he had to get out of there before the cops came - for his sake, no. He was bothered about something - or someone who was just as important to him as he was to himself.His eyes expanded, pupils dilated, heart trembled over his ribcage and he was beginning to feel unwell as the scenes around him danced in an haze.The people who were beginning to leave the site for two reasons; One being that they had to go about there business - and avoid the cops, the second being that they scurried away in fright before another ‘of those beasts’ came, caused the chants
