you.”
“I don’t care if you were talking to me. I’m
a passer-by and I don’t think I’m supposed to join a work I know
absolutely nothing about. Emily said as she adjusted her bag on her
shoulder.
“We were all passers-by but we cannot go
ahead until we dispose all the bodies. I got here three years ago
and the bodies wouldn’t stop increasing. Other people came and had
to join me. Once you get to this point, there is no turning
back.
“You can’t be serious. Emily said as she
studied the place and noticed that the man was telling the truth as
the people had already built a cave of dead bodies.”
“We live under that cave you see.” The man
said as he lowered his shoulders.
“Well, I don’t think I can join you guys. You
have to let me move on. Maybe I can help you deal with the thing.”
Emily said as she continued walking forward.
“Okay then. Good luck. The man said as he
paved way for her.

Evalle opened her eyes to find a large crowd
staring at her. Kevin was at her front. “I’ve been trying to wake
you up for the past few hours. I told you I was going to join you
in a jiffy. When I came here, you were fast asleep.”
“Why is everyone staring at me?” Evalle
asked, still looking confused.
“I had to call them to help, since I couldn’t
get to wake you up. We all thought you were dead, but there is no
hospital around. I’m so glad you are alive.”
“Thanks, I have to go now. It’s almost dark.
Thank the people for their help on my behalf. Emily said as she
stood up and picked her bag.
This guy really is a jerk. He called the
whole world to wake me up. I can’t believe I slept that long.
Evalle started looking for where she would
spend the night. “I’ve not gotten to the first marker yet.” She
said as she sat down on the road to take a rest. Evalle then sited
something from afar.
There was a flock of birds feasting near a
river, Evalle moved forward to see what type of birds they were. As
she got closer, she could recognize them better. “Jesus Christ”.
Evalle jumped as she confirmed from her map that she was at the
first marker.
She moved closer to the creatures as she
studied them well. They were scattered all over and most of them
were drinking water. From a distance, she saw some doves flying
away. Something big chased them.
As Evalle moved to see more, she got happier.
A large bird was walking angrily towards the doves. The doves began
to fly away. Evalle saw that only one building was there. She
checked her bag for her pen and book, to confirm if it was still
there.
Evalle took out her book and noted what she
saw. She put it back in her bag and headed towards the building.
“I’ve never done this kind of thing before. I’m really scared. What
will I find inside?” Evalle said as she continued towards the large
building.
She pushed the door, hoping it would be
locked. The door slid open as a giant cobweb greeted her. “Jeez.
What is this? When last has someone been in this place? It’s so
old.” Evalle began to remove the cobwebs with a stick she found on
the floor.
She flung the stick about as she moved
farther into the house. The house looked normal except for the
odor. Evalle moved to the corner and turned on the switch. The
light illuminated the whole place. It was then Evalle knew
something was really wrong.

Emily walked through the path that was
created for her as she felt their eyes crawling all over her skin.
She left them behind and thought of what awaited her. Emily started
increasing her pace as she felt a very enormous pressure
surrounding her.
She moved closer to a huge wall and saw
nothing. She looked around, trying to find a way. “I am trapped?”
Emily whispered. She felt herself being sucked into the wall. She
screamed “Nooo.”
Emily met herself in a dark place but only
saw two shining golden circles staring at her.
“Hello, anybody here?” Emily yelled. “Hello,
who’s in here? Now this is
