I Love My Life

Episode 9

I thought they will just grab me and you know, that kind of stuffs. I knelt down and shut my eyes tight, wishing for death to just come and take me, instead of them having a feast with my body… How can I
die this way? What wrong have I done to
humanity? Are mine totally different from other? I kept on asking myself this, without giving myself any answer. When I thought they would have grabbed me, they didn’t. I opened my eyes and saw them dancing around me, as if in a procession. They were silent now and I couldn’t see their faces
clearly as they were painted black. As they were doing so, I noticed one of then stepped on what happened to be my urine… As unlucky as the ghost were, he tripped and fell down with a rapt scream. He stood up again and continued his dance.

I began asking myself how possible twas for a ghost to fall down. They don’t walk, instead they sail on air. How come?? How did he fall? Or did he just hanged on air to exhibit some of his acrobatic skills. That still not withstanding, I remain rooted where I was, sweats forming and running down my face and dropping on the floor. My cloth were soaked already with my sweat which would not have been possible unless I was working out in the gym or playing basketball.

At a time, they stopped and looked at me… One of then laughed out loud, but to me, it wasn’t really funny. They came together and faced me, their hands outstretched as if they wanted to pray for me. They began deliberating on what to do with me.
1st ghost: What do we do with him?
Kosi: Let’s kill him
2nd voice: yes, I support you
1st ghost: We can’t kill him
2nd voice: No, we must not let him go. We can’t let Kosi stay alone.
Kosi: Am already feeling lonely here. I want him to come and join me
They laughed loudly to the point that I had to close my ears with my hands. The 1st ghost moved back a little while the 2nd ghost brought out a knife and gave it to Kosi.
2nd ghost: Take this and kill him
Kosi took and laughed loudly. She held it well and approached me. I was sweating profusely
Me: Kosi please na… Don’t do this
Kosi: I can’t stay alone, we need to be together.
Me: Lemme achieve what I came to do na
Kosi: No, we must be together.
She raised it up, the knife hanging over her head.

As she brought it down to stab me, NEPA brought the light and I got the greatest shock…
