THE DARKNESS CREEPS IN: A DAY-TO-DAY FICTIONAL TALE

Two things stand out in the mine when fear kicks in. Either cowardice and greed or honesty and loyalty. Below we will see how this plays out, the uncertainty of the human mind and how the darkness creeps in.

A fragile Spirit, A Hallowed Heart

Friday the 16th. The 12th hour, the time of dead silence and calmness, little steps, the fading voice from across the abyss, a gentle fading flow of wind through the window that brings a chill down the spine, suddenly fills the room with uncontrollable negative energy. You can vividly see the footsteps, shapes, and shadows of your fragile, weak imagination; oh wow, it's just me, you said to the ever-running beating heart that can only compare with Bolt's speed of 9.85 seconds, the beating drops. And the darkness creeps in.

War and Fear

Friday the 15th. 8 am, good morning mommy, she said with the voice of perfection and sweetness as her mother always says, tik tok tik tok the time ticks away, you are late for school the mother said in a loud voice, I know mama goodbye she waved with a smiled, grabbing her school bag as she hurries to the car to meet her friends, good morning mommy Lydia her mothers best friend Arriana greeted, smiled at her two best friends in the back seat as she hubs into the car. Little did they know that death was waiting 10 minutes down the road.

Good morning madam said a police officer as they arrived at a police checkpoint. Morning officer Mrs. Lydia replied you have to settle police checkpoint with $5 he said, oh sorry I don't give bribe she said politely and kicked off her car, without warning shouts, the officer opened fire through the side windscreen, narrowly missing Mrs. Lydia and hitting Arriana the 5-year old that just said goodbye to mommy 10 minutes ago. And the darkness creeps in.

Hatred and deceit.

Friday the 14th. 6:15 am, I love you, baby Madam Rose said to her beloved husband. She grabbed her bag and farm tools and headed out for the plantation like she routinely does every Friday. One hour later, a neighbor comes running in; Sir, your wife, just hung herself in the plantation.

Why, the entire neighborhood wonder in shock and confusion. Rose is a loving wife with four kids, three boys and one girl, 12-year-old Evodia. Why madam Rose, neighbors cried out loud upon investigation the police and the neighbors realized that Madam Rose's husband had been having sexual intercourse with their daughter since the age of 5 as she [madam rose] revealed in a letter she wrote, explaining the abomination she has been experiencing for the past five years unknowingly.

In her note, Rose explains seeing her husband sleeping next to their daughter but took it generally as a father's love for his daughter. Until recently, she walked in on him having sex with their daughter, and they both enjoyed it. She said, I quote, ''they didn't see me, but I knew I married the devil and raised one in the form of a daughter. The darkness creeps in.

Greed and savagery. The tale of two halves.

Friday the 13th. At 2 pm, hello Mom, Gerard is on the phone. I'm coming over for the weekend, he said. Please, mom, cook something nice, he said with a smile. OK, son, she replied with love. 2 hours late, Gerard was home, greeted at the door was sweet mommy Savanna she is 45 years of age; Savanna hugged and kissed her son if only she knew that was her last kiss.

A loud bang on her head as she turned and fell to the floor with Gerard over her with a knife stabbing continuously as she screamed out for help. Luckily a passerby heard her and rushed in only to find Gerard still stabbing; he [the passerby] pounced on Gerard and alerted the community, and they came running in anger, and Gerard was given mob justice and buried alongside his mom.

Emmanuel, Jason, and Paul, three childhood friends, decided to make money by selling human bones. Twenty-one-year-old Alina left home to see her boyfriend Jason for some quality time, not knowing she was going to be the first of many victims of illicit money. she was beaten and suffocated with a paper bag and a pillow, later her body was chopped into tiny portions and cooked. Then her bones were extracted to be sold to human traffickers and black marketers. As the saying goes, nothing hides under the sun. They were later arrested and sentenced to 100 years in prison after ten total killings and butchering. And the darkness creeps in.

Conclusion

In a world so plentiful yet, we suffer and die of starvation and wickedness. A time of fairness seems so far away, and we wallow in greed and despair. The giant does not pity the little man below, the demon feeds on the blood of the weak, the beast feeds on the fear of the innocent, and the maggots feed on the dead's carcasses. When will we as a human race seek for the Divine Protection of a Higher Power, for it is when we seek that we will receive, and when we ask that we are going to get answers or when we knock that the door of blessing and ever-flowing progress will be opened. A wise man once said, ''if you say you are a great and wealthy man, then show me your mother and I will tell you if you are great''.
