Looking closer

Beneath the surface

By Chioma CyprianPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

On a chilly evening, James parks his bicycle next to an ancient building.

Subsequently taking off his helmet, he has an unfamiliar sensation that causes his head to bang and hears a loud echo of enticing words. He turns and looks around, swearing it was real.

That has to be my imagination playing tricks on me, he reasoned.

He ran into an elderly woman with an expressionless face as he was thinking.

be careful, watch where you go!!!

she whispered some enchantment, a then she vanished.

his friends were screaming at him to pass the ball, he felt nervous and could hear some noises rattling in his eardrums. The soreness and itching had become intolerable and excessive,

Aaaaarrhhh…Aaaaarrrrhhh…..Ouch!!!!

Everyone came to him in astonishment as he shouted and slumped, and for a brief period, he regained consciousness when the medic team attended to him. he opens his eyes, a voice said, "James, You should go to the hospital,”

Is he starting to have hallucinations at this point? He quickly dashed back to his bike and rode.

Sharon listening to her favourite music, She also checks some clothing she hasn't worn in a while.

James hurried into the garage.

Bruno had been summoned to assist in moving those clothes to the garage to be disposed of the following day.

James noticed some little insects coming out of his ear, his eardrums began to swell and a rattling sound began to fill the room.

The bugs transformed into enormous bugs with piercing jaws, barbed projections that resembled fangs, and wings that were rubbing against one another to produce rattling sounds as he saw the thousands of little bugs emerge.

Squeak! Squeak!! Squeak!!!

He shouted to Bruno, Get pesticide!

frantically looking for his pepper spray!

The giant bug exhaled a poisonous substance into James' nostrils.

…kindly assist me in finding...

Why do you sound like you're trying to trick me, Bruno?

Upon spotting an unusual species, the bug extends its razor-sharp claws towards her leg and slams hard against Grandma's walking aid. She stumbles passes out.

phone beeps

Hey! Hello

Hi!?

Mom, we miss you. When will you be back?

Aaaarrrrh! Aaaaaarrh!!

Upon seeing the terrifying bug, Bruno cries.

Out of horror, Sharon slams the phone.

Sharon searches for her baton and tries to take the gun in Dad's room.

Running out in fear, the gun discharged with a loud thud.

As she drew nearer, she saw some giant bugs with mouths open and dripping with a greyish liquid, "signalling for sound and breathe," she thought.

She saw that they solely responded to noise .

She hurried to fetch Bruno some "Inhalers.

Yes! In her head, she yells, "I found it!"

When she arrived at the garage, James was soaked in blood, and she observed a giant bug extracting his guts.

Sharon tied Bruno's nose and lips with her head tie while she held her breath.

Sharon presses the doorbell.

The bugs enter the room by sniffing in the direction of the sound they hear when the doorbell rings.

she came up with the quickest solution for getting rid of the terrifying bugs.

To fill the entire room with the chemical, Sharon poured as much of the fumigating jar's contents—a mixture of mixed essential oils—into it as her muscles would allow.

These monstrous bugs vanished in a strong wind.

As they were about to depart, James leapt from behind and threw up all the material into Sharon's mouth.

"Saliva all over "

Sunlight enters Sharon's eyes through the drapes, shining through them. discovers it was all a dream after awakening covered in sweat.
