Dark Night

Episode 40

Mr Johnson carried the little boy and they all rushed into the hospital.

Mr Johnson: Dave why did you hit the boy? Didn’t you see him?

Dave: I’m sorry sir. What Gift said shocked me and I lost control and before I knew what was happening I have already hit him.

Mr Johnson: Oh God! Please don’t let anything happen to the boy.

While they were there, the two burnt women were rolled into the hospital. One was totally unconscious and the other was screaming in pains.

Mr Johnson: God have mercy! What kind of fire burned these women? Lord Jesus please spare their lives. (Just as he was praying, his phone rang and when he picked it up, it was one of the land owners at one of his houses)

Mr Johnson: Mr George hello,

Mr George: Mr Johnson where are you?

Mr Johnson: I am somewhere in town. What is it? Why are you sounding like that?

Mr George: You need to get to the St James Clinic right away

Mr Johnson turned around him and looked at the name of the hospital where he had brought the boy that Dave just hit and it was st James clinic.

Mr Johnson: why? What’s happening!

Mr George: something happened to your wife and my driver just took her to st James clinic.

Mr Johnson: oh no, there must be a mixup somewhere. My wife travelled to the village and she is not yet back.

Mr George: No sir, your wife was at your house today, the one near my place. I don’t know what happened but there was a fire and your wife was terribly burnt alongside her friend.

Mr Johnson: Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! (He ended the call and rushed to where the two burnt women were placed. He stared at both of them but could not recognise anyone of them as both were terribly burnt.

Gift: daddy! What is it? What is it?

Mr Johnson: Gift which of these two women is your mother?

Gift was shocked at his question. He and Dave both stared at Mr. Johnson.

Mr Johnson: Don’t look at me, look at them and tell me which of them is your mother.

Gift: Dad are you okay? Didn’t you say mom travelled to the village?

Mr Johnson: That was what I thought but I just got a call that one of these women is your mother.

Mrs Johnson who was completely soaked in blood heard her husband’s voice and quickly spoke out.

Mrs Johnson: Honey! Honey! Is that you?

They all rushed to her side.

Gift: blood of Jesus! Mom Is that you?

Mrs Johnson: is that my son? Oh thank God you are here. It is hot, my whole body is on fire. Help me please. Honey help me! It hurts, my eyes, my ears, my nose. Oh God! Help me
She screamed out in pains.

Mr Johnson: oh my God! Honey! How did this happen? I thought you were at the village? How did you come back? Oh my God!
