THE PRESENT
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end and could see the man stalking me. It was Dr. Rey, my heart raced faster. "I am sorry, I don't want to die",he muttered frightened. " what do you mean...", I asked. "The book, the gift. it is possessed by a demon, it dared me to kill you or get killed in 24hrs. Mesh, I'm sorry",he explained.
I was perplexed but could only begged to be spared,"please don't kill me, there is another way to handle this". He didn't listen. he moved closer, weeping, saying the same word repeatedly,"I'm sorry". he raised his hand high, holding a crowbar aiming for my head and suddenly screamed "Noooo". Holding his head in his hand, he staggered backwards.
He gazed at me, letting out a devilish smile. I was squatting, shaking like a frightened chicken when he muttered , "his time is over".He jumped off through the nearby window, landing on a vehicle. He is dead. I was puzzled,"what just happened ?,what book was he talking about".
