Hey!, ever seen a Grim ripper before?
I decided to have a solemn night vigil in my church today. It was I alone. I wanted to enjoy the serenity of talking to God in tranquility.
"The lord be with you brother Joshua". The Deacon said making a sign of the cross.
I sighed and stood, admiring my black ironed trouser, I skimmed the office with my eye before whispering
"Am-amen Deacon. Amen!" And then I exited the room.
Lost in thoughts, my friend called out to me from behind, but I couldn't hear him until he tapped me on the shoulder then I jolted back to reality.
"Bro Joshua, i heard you want to spend an alone time today in church. Like a night vigil just for only you". He said trying to clarify his assumptions.
"Yes my brother. As a matter of fact I'd sleep in church till five in the morning before going home". I responded half mindedly.
He took a deep sigh, patted me on my shoulder before saying
"Be prepared my brother!"
I squinted in awe.
"Prepare for what? Prepare for whom? Robbers?" Those rhetorical questions swayed my thoughts, I needed answers but he just shook his head in contempt and left me to unravel the puzzle myself.
"God be with me!. After all, all I sought for was purification of my mind and a gift from God which I wished was tranquility- peace of mind.
11:58PM
On my knees muttering prayers. Praying earnestly for God to give me peace of mind. I really needed it, but why did I?.
12:00AM
Suddenly, just too sudden, as in at the double "Tick" of the clock, serving as the affirmation that I crossed over to the next day, the white fluorescent bulbs in the main large auditorium began to fluctuate as though someone was messing with the switches.
Still on my knees, I raised my head relinquishing my thoughts, fear and hope to the black wooden cross above my head. Then unimaginably, It turned swiftly upside down.
With the gruēsome sight I withheld, I gasped for breath, my hand making the sign of the cross clinging the bible to my breast.
(Clock ticks)
12:02AM,
There was a blackout, I mean a total blackout, no inkling or sign of light anywhere. The darkness was dense till the extent I could not see beyond my nose. The auditorium was so silent that I could hear myself breath.
12:09AM,
Fear had gripped me that I was so scared to look sideways let alone, to talk more of standing and trying to inquire what was the cause of the abrupt malfunction.
"Mmmh" I sighed muttering prayers to God to come deliver me or send his angel to come rescue me in his place.
Prayers being answered, the fluorescent bulbs came on one after the other, just like you turned on the bulbs In a navy store house.
I sighed a sigh of relief, but the cross was still upside down. Preparing to sit and brace myself mentally, my ear twitched to the sound of
"Hello Joshua!"
Looking agape and in shōck, I slowly turned and looking with fear and my shrunk heart.
"Surprised to see me?" The figure asked and letting out an evil chortle with his head bent side west...
"Noooooooooo" I screamed with my mouth letting out all the carbon dioxide that cared to flow out freely.
Guess I'm going to have a SQUIDY EXPERIENCE this morning.........
(Watch out for part 2)
