AND NIGHT CAME .......


Prologue.


It was midnight when horror looms …….
For a second time the knock was ringing at the door again with a cold shrilled voice. Down from my thoughts I could figure it coming below my ear. Phillip Duros at once hopped out of the bed. Taking a glance at the wall clock hanging East of the room, it could be boldly seen in his eyes, a wave of Confusion it was already an hour pass twelve of midnight. Phillip without much pondering made to the door. To him it could be a friend.…. a friend at the door at such dead night.
For a third time the knock rang again, he still maintained his pace ranting within. He opened the door wide but no one was standing next to it. He began at once to feel a sensation … a deep band of spirits approaching him: though his eyes were blind to seeing any. The noise grew louder and force as it approached. He was by now frightened to the marrow, there was whispering in the band like someone is communicating to him. He tried to bolt the door at once but alas it was too late; he was on the floor already and maybe it was the force that got him reeling to the ground. His legs would not bear him again standing. And the same noise was whirling up again.
He struggling, drew back as fast as he his hands could count backwards to avoid what has not come plain. “why do you hide yourself? Show yourself if you dare!  He taunted as if he feared no death peril or danger. The force began demystifying itself and gradually it had taken the challenge of revealing itself. It was like a breakthrough to the darkness that pervaded.  He made fast moves again like someone trying to grab something most important at that very moment but it seemed the demystifying band had noticed and made forward to take him down. Phillip still drew back now more gently gaining control of himself a little, he was actually making for the draw table meters away; a pistle lay so peacefully passing its hours not knowing the terror that loomed. He quickly pulled the trigger and let out four bullets reeling to the force and it was gone. The noise started building from his back again and it was too late for him to turn and fire it. It pushed him out; down the stairs ……...
Phillip immediately opened his eyes; it was a nightmare but he still felt pain at his back and elbows and his head was aching so hardly. The door was wide open and his gun lying on the ground.
To be continued ……
