Re: The burning cold by Mynd44: 10:15pm On Sep 29, 2012
When the lights came back, I was
staring into the blank and
expressionless face of some woman
in white. My mind did a recap of the
previous night and I thought his
might be the continuation of it
when I heard the woman say
“How are you feeling?”
I could not say a word and my eyes
opened a little bit more and I could
make out the parts of the room I
was in. she was standing above me
and was now smiling, she was
saying something I could not make
out and all I could feel a distant
headache in some part of my head I
did not know existed before
My eyes adjusted to the light and I
could see that she was not an angel
or a demon but a nurse and I was in
a hospital. I tried remembering the
last thing I knew and beads of sweat
suddenly ran down my neck. I was
trembling as the memories of the
last things I saw came back at me as
though it was a television show. I
remember my mum’s smile the
creatures I saw and I went off again.

I came to sometime later and this
time no one was looking down at
me instead, the room seems to be
empty. I tried to sit up and I realized
that I was weak. I pulled myself up
and sat down and looked around
the room
I have always hated hospitals. The
smell of disinfectant everywhere, the
sadness and gloom on the faces of
most of the people and the general
mortality of them just gets me
scared. But this time, I was glad to
be here, glad I am not seeing
whatever it was I saw and glad my
mum was not here. I did not
understand what happened and I
did not want to. Some things were
just better left unknown.
Someone walked in who I
recognized. Our doctor and he
smiled at me and just put his hand
on my face
“in no time you will be out of here”
“What happened doctor” I asked as
if I did not know
“I don’t know, all I know was that
your mum brought you in yesterday
saying you had fainted while
watching an horror movie”

I could not even dispute that, horror
movie? Yeah sure if they were acting
them in our house and my mum was
the star of the show, it is possible. I
was about to say something else
when she entered.
My mum. The last person I wanted
to see right now and she was
beaming with smiles.
She exchanged pleasantries with the
doctor and asked how I was
“he is doing well, I don’t understand
what he was doing watching horror
movies but he will be alright”
“I hope so” was her reply
“he just went into shock, probably
saw something explicit” now the
doctor was walking towards the
door
“I will leave you two to talk but he
has to have some rest and so do
you” were his last words as he left
“I will leave you two to talk but he
has to have some rest and so do

Mynd_44: I almost did the same thing until I saw our
Biology teacher come into the class. And
yelled
“Settle down”
He walked past me and whispered “later
dude you and I will settle this”

How I felt from that moment could not be
described. How do you concentrate on the
human digestive system when someone just
told you he was going to beat you up and it
was just a matter of time before school closes
and you will be at the mercy of him and his
gang of miscreants?
The teacher finished at the end of school
being the last class period and my hour of
doom had arrived. My throat was dry, I was
scared and beads of wet were beginning to
break around my neck. I picked up my bag
headed for the door when my way was
blocked.
“You are coming with us was the only
explanation I got”
I maintained a straight face as I was not
about to fall apart in front of the girl I was
trying to impress I was taken to the back of
the school where all the fights happened.

It was a construction site for an extension of
our school as some classes were being built
and the place was secluded from the main
school so if you scream from now until
eternity, no one would you.
Word had gotten out that a fight was about
to happen and half the school showed up
excited as though this was the real reason
they came to school that day. John was
already waiting for me and he was cursing
some words just to get the whole place
hyped up and made sure I was scared.

I could feel tears building behind my eyes but
I was not about to cry without being beaten
was I? Hell no I tightened my fist to give
myself some strength and everyone mistook it
for me getting ready to fight. john looked at
me and dropped his bag.
Chaiiii....u r good! Azzzzzinnn...i don dey fall alrdy! Love ur description its so real nd visible nd i think i shud stp lookn down on Naija writers! Dis is really impressive...almst tot i ws reading one of James Hadley chase Novels or John Grisham! U good mehn!!!
Re: The burning cold by Mynd44: 2:03pm On Oct 15, 2012
“I will leave you two to talk but he
has to have some rest and so do
you” were his last words as he left
She walked over to my side and held
my hand, I half expected it to be
cold but it was not, it was warm and
normal, her face was back to normal
too color and all as if what I saw or
thought I saw was actually a dream
or I saw it while I fainted but the
look in her eyes narrowed and then
the lights in the room dimed again
the bulb was still on but as if the
room was filled with black midst
and the cold returned.
“you should not be here” she said as
she took her eyes off me
“I said I will tell him and bring him
and I will”
The same voice I heard that night
came again
“the master grows impatient”
“he wants him inducted fast”
And then the presence was gone. I
wished I could faint again as fear
took me.
I did not understand what I had to
be told neither did I want to know
what it was. What I was seeing was
not real, can’t be real
My mum took my hand again and
she said
“we will have to talk when we get
home”

I look at her and thought it was
over. I did not want to go home
with her not after what I have seen
and heard but a part of me wanted
to hear what she had to say just out
of curiosity but the fear was in me.
There was a burning sensation
within my head and it felt like I was
going to faint again. My hands
reached for the seat belt and the
strength in me waned. As I could not
grip the belt. All the strength within
me was leaving and replaced with a
feeling that paralyzed every part of
me including my brain.
FEAR.
It was fear like I have never felt it
before, like I have never heard of it
before, it was fear like I will never be
scared again. A vision of last night
flashed across my mind and I saw
the creature above my mum’s head
again but this time, she was not the
one, it was me, the creature was
above me. Its face was in my face as
I looked into it all I saw was
darkness and cold.
Re: The burning cold by Mynd44: 2:05pm On Oct 15, 2012
Cold I could not understand and
darkness I could not phantom. I
opened my eyes and noticed that
the car had stopped as the traffic
was building, I looked into the eyes
and I thought I had another flash
black but this time, it was real, I saw
objects with a corner of my eyes and
when I tried to focus on them, the
just fizzle out. As if they were not
there. I was tensed and the seat belt
was still holding me in place to the
seat while my mum tried to
navigate the car out of the traffic.
Spittle gathered in my mouth and I
tried to swallow and found it hard
as though my throat was blocked by
some invisible force and it was
keeping the saliva in my mouth. I
swallowed with force and a sound
came out of my mouth. It was not so
loud but the car had been so quiet
and calm that it sounded like
someone dropped a stainless cup in
a quiet cave. She looked to her side
reached out to hold my arm and said
“Soon son”
“I can’t imagine what and how you
are feeling”
I gulped
“But you must hold on”

The traffic light went green
somewhere and I caught it along
with another object I can’t describe
in the corner of my eye and I looked
away from my mum
She floored the accelerator (had
always not been the most careful of
drivers)
And on through the next exit and
into our street we went. The feeling
in me grew and I grew sicker. The
conditioned air in the air did not
help at all I was already feeling
pressure within me and what I
needed was fresh air and to get
away from where I was maybe with
Chidima or someone else just get me
out of here. We got to the house and
she pulled up into the garage and
she looked at me, gave me the same
smile and said
“we are home Pete”
“time to get off”
Was she kidding?
I could not move my lips and you
are telling me to get off? This is
getting crazier
She opened the door on her side and
I felt a gust of warm wind come in
to the car and with it, some
strength, I finally saw that I could
use my mouth again.
“Erm………”
“I think I should still be at the
hospital”
