Tampering With Death

By Matt Crone

His Sinister look upon my face on that dreadful night of horror shall be remembered throughout the lands. His evil grin looking down on me so frightful and so distinct . He arose with power for He sensed the fear upon my eyes.   His bloodshot eyes looking at me without mercy as I beaconed  for forgiveness. 

This creature is pure evil born from the devil himself. He is god’s wraith of terror.  He comes to haunt me for a reason I have not yet to figure out. 

His breathing so soft and yet I still hear it to this day. His breath smells of death and decay. He holds upon his bony hand a blade ready to strike. His face is like a skeleton and yet still flesh remains on.  His voice so raspy and cold as if of an old man’s.  This creature has no mercury and shall not stand for intolerance of his demands.

This creature comes every night  and haunts me. I lay fast asleep with not another living sole any were to be for I live in the wilderness. I hear a knock at the door late at night while I was fast asleep. I go to the door and open it and nothing there just the breeze comes in. I went back up stairs to sleep. I hear scathing sounds on my window. I look out the window and see nothing but trees swaying in the windy night.

I go back to sleep and I hear the sound of dripping water. The sound so faint but still notice able. I get up slowly in fear of what is to become. I go into the bathroom and check the foist to see if I left it on. It was turned off the room was silent again. I smelled a peculiar odor and I feared the worst. I turned around and there was the creature standing there behind me.  I gasped in shock for this creature was three times my size!

“Who are you and what do you want ?” I asked

“Hmm… I want your sole!”

“What have I done to deserve this I have been  an honest man my whole life and never harmed a sole!”

“ Liar! You murdered your wife remember?”

“ I had to she was always a control freak and I couldn’t stand that women!”

“ So why did you frame it on your next door neighbor Josh?”

“  I had to act quickly or id be caught red handed.”

“ Your neighbor Josh should haven’t  had to pay for you crime.”

“ Your Soul is mine for you took the sole of a innocent person and  destroyed it!”

At that I ran away. I ran into my bedroom and locked my door. The creature just floated through my door like a ghost. The creature grasped me by the neck and started to suffocate me. Blood rushed to my head. Everything started to go blurry. I thought to myself no I can’t give up now. Somehow I slipped out of his grip and fell to the floor.

I ran outside and it was raining and thundering. I headed down the road sprinted as fast as I could down the narrow road.  Lighting struck a nearby tree and blocked my path. Another tree fell behind me nearly hitting me. I was trapped. Death was the only option now and it was time to face it.

The creature appeared before me holding a sword in his hand. His evil look with pleasure as he came closer.

“It’s Your choice whether you want to live or die.”

“ You committed a crime and framed someone else . Will you turn yourself in and live up the punishment that should have been in yours in the first place or will you chose to die?”

“  I want to die for I have made a great sin against Josh and I couldn’t bear to see what I have done  to him.”

The creature comes up to you and starts to hack you to death.

“ Wait I was just joking please have mercury on me!”

The creature continues to slash you into pieces blood goes every were.

“ You know feel the pain of death that your wife received from you. She begged for you to stop and did you?”

“ No I kept killing her!”

“ You killed her!”

The creature dismembered the rest of my body and everything went dark. I learned that to tamper with death is not a good idea because if you do who said that death cant tamper with you.
