Hello, good people of Nairaland. I decided to try my hand at writing a horror story. Now I'm not really good at this so please don't eat me up in the comment section :-p

“It was a dark and lonely night…

On his way back from the joint, he heard a rustle in the bushes behind him. Quite drunk, he dismissed
it as a stray animal or somewhat. If only he knew…


His footsteps unsteady, he tottered home, cradling
the bottle of ogogoro (locally brewed gin) close to
his heart, like a drowning man holding on to
driftwood, his last hope for salvation.


There was another rustle in the sea of grass, close
enough this time to be a cause for alarm. The
drunkard twisted around, searching for it’s source.


Sadly he could not see in the dark.


The unknown predator came in close behind him,
so close infact that he felt it’s rancid breath on the
nape of his neck. He shuddered and raised the
bottle in self defence, swinging it hard to meet…


Nothing.


Again and again he swung, but made no contact.
Eventually he convinced himself that it was nought
but his imagination running wild and returning the
bottle to his safe haven, he continued on his way.
However, the predator was not to be denied, and
slinked on behind him, cloaked in the terrible
indiscriminate covering of the blanket of a
moonless, starless night.


Then he heard it. A slow rasping sound, then a
rattle like the one given by a shake of the
rattlesnake’s tail. He turned his meager flashlight
to the ground behind him and saw nothing.

Then the flashlight went off…”
