MY ROOMMATE AND THE MAN FROM THE GRÀVEYARD
Episode 9
*********
“You ghost man, show yourself! Come out and face me! What did my boyfriend do to you? Why are you tormenting us?” I cried for a while but the ghost man didn’t appear. Maybe he had gone back to the gràveyard; maybe he had followed James and Henry. Or maybe he was hearing me but didn’t want to show himself. I thought to myself.
*********
Nevertheless, I didn’t stop crying and calling on the ghost man.
“You ghost man! Show yourself if you are real! Show yourself now you foól ! You think you have power? Come out and show your power” I shouted again and again.
I know I wasn’t supposed to sound that way. I know to you I wasn’t supposed to insult or say annoying words to him but I had no choice. My boyfriend Michael was lying lifeless and my best friend Victoria was crying bitterly because of the pains he had caused her. James and Henry had run away or perhaps the ghost man had done something awful to them. Who knows? I needed to do something to save my friends and myself and the only thing I could think of doing at that moment was using abusive words on him.
“You evil man! Show yourself or I will scream and alert the entire neighborhood about you!” I shouted angrily.
“Scream and your friends will die!” The ghost man finally appeared and shouted at me.
“Why not kill me instead and let my friends be!” Victoria interrupted. She came out of her bed and stood fiercely, opposite the ghost man.
“Just kîll me! Kîll me! Because it is better to die than being forced by you to grant you your wish!” Victoria blurted.
“I won’t kîll you. And I won’t let you be” The ghost man said.
“Why won’t you kîll me, you foól?”
“Because I was on my own, you came for me. Now I have chosen you and you must do what I want you to do for me” The ghost man answered.
“I never came for you! Stupîd” Victoria cried out.
“She never came for you! Leave us alone!” I supported Victoria.
“I won’t leave you alone! You! You! and you!” The ghost man said, pointing at Victoria, Michael and me.
“What do you want from us? What????” I questioned.
“Tell your friend to do what I’m demanding from her!” The ghost man roar.
“How will I tell her to do what you are demanding from her when you won’t let her tell me what your demand is? You won’t even let me tell my boyfriend about you so we can join hands to do whatever your demand is and even do more?”
“Nobody must hear about me!” The ghost man blurted angrily, as if I was at the vulge of telling someone about him.
“You don’t have sense that’s why you keep saying “nobody must hear about you!.” I told the ghost man, angrily.
“I have sense!” The ghost man said, defensively.
I smiled in my mind. I have caught his attention. I will use his head to my advantage. I thought to myself.
“No! You don’t have sensé! If you do, you won’t put my boyfriend in this condition and you won’t say ‘nobody should reveal you.”
“I told you, I have sense!” The ghost man blurted again and sudden cold breeze overwhelmed the room, scattering some light things and shaking our cottons. I knew he was provoke; because anytime he feels angry, sudden cold breeze always blew and scatter some things in our room but I wasn’t ready to quit.
“You don’t have sense. If you do, you should have known that, if you allow Victoria tell me what you are demanding from her, I will convince her to grant you your demand?” I said to the ghost man
“Okay!!! Victoria tell her my demands!” The ghost man roar.
“No! Wait!” I turned to Victoria. “Don’t tell me anything yet” I said and then turned to the ghost man. “Before Victoria tells me what you’re demanding from her, first revive my boyfriend. Undo whatsoever you did to him that made him this way.”
