THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE DEMON'S ANVIL
After being interrogated by some officers, John was granted bail but he was warned from stepping out of the city and then instructed to be available for further interrogation whenever the need arose. A few minutes later, John was seen walking with a lack of alacrity out of the police station. In a few hours, the happy-looking teacher was a shadow of himself. "Hey, John. Come over here."He turned towards the source of the voice and a dry smile immediately appeared on his face. "Come in and let me drive you home. "John pulled the jeep door open and hopped inside. "Nice of you to come to pick me up, sir."The man on the wheel displayed an impeccable set of white teeth. "Don't mention, John. I'm happy to be of help."John breathed out loud as he eased himself into the front chair. He jerked the seatbelt, fixed it into the available hole, and then gestured to the man to drive out of the police station's car park. "I heard everything that happened, John. Be at ease. I have settled it."
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS A DANGEROUS MISSION
Ale found it difficult to breathe. Not that he had a breathing problem or a weak heart. His difficulty in breathing was the result of his troubled mind. Shifter had been sent to her death, and Kaul had warned against sending any demons to help her. I can't stand and watch, Ale thought as he walked to and fro inside the haunted church. He realized he couldn't just fold his hand and watch Shifter walk to her death. He must act now. He can't risk her dying when her death will destroy everything in him. He had vowed to protect Shifter with his life and this he was bound to do. Let Kaul go to hell if he wants. He realized any action he takes will amount to going against Kaul's order. Did he have a choice?When he can no longer bear the torment in his heart, Ale summoned some demons to his presence. An action he ought not to make."One of our comrades had embarked on a suicidal mission," Ale informed his loyalist demons. "I need some volunteers to help in protecting her and making sure she
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS A KNACK FOR ATTRACTING DEATH
Cynthia peeks through the keyhole on the door, and her heart nearly flies out of her chest when she sees the doctor picking up a surgical knife and then wobbling towards Jimmy. What is Doctor Jason up to? Without a moment to think, Cynthia jerked the door open and raced towards the hunching doctor. "Stop, Doctor Jason," she screamed, but the doctor seemed to be deaf to her plead. Out of desperation, Cynthia picked up a tray along the way and then smacked it on the doctor's back before he could do real damage."Ouch!" The doctor said as he staggered and fell. Blood trickled from Jimmy's neck from where the doctors had stabbed him. Fortunately enough, it was just a superficial wound. Why did everyone want to kill this boy? Cynthia asked no one in particular. From what she heard, Jimmy was attacked by his teacher for no reason. Now, a well-behaved doctor was about to cut his head off from his neck. Something is going on. While Cynthia was lost in thought, Terry and Holo floated throug
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS YOU ARE A MAN, DIE LIKE ONE
John was having a nice dream. The kind of dream you hate to be woken up from. So when he heard a noise inside his room, John woke with anger and glared around. A moment later, his eyes became huge when he discovered the source of the noise. "I hate killing people in their sleep," the man standing in front of John with a pointed gun said. "And did you know why?" He asked and then resumed his speech without waiting for John's response, "because I would hate to be killed in my sleep as well. And the reason is because I would love to see the face of my killer so that I can haunt him or her in my next life."John stared at the invader. Apart from his eyes and nose, all his body parts were paralyzed and his brain refused to give any command to wake them up. After a growl-kind of a laugh, the assassin asked, "Won't you ask me who am I, who sent me, or how I gained access to your well-guarded house?"John stammered back, "I...I may not...not know how you entered, but I know..know who you ar
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE RENOVATION
The first visitors to the abandoned church were the cleaning agency, and before the truck from the Shoplift store arrived, the dirty church was swept, washed, and then sprayed with nice fragrances. In a few hours, everywhere was as clean as the road to heaven. The goods delivered consist of pieces of audio equipment, sets of drums, speakers, microphones, sets of furniture, a video projector, and lightning. Based on Judas' instructions, everything was packed inside the room attached to the church. As soon as the Shoplift store's truck drove out of the compound, another truck drove in, it consisted of the builders that were assigned to renovate the church, their workers, and the materials needed to get their work done. Throughout the time humans spend in the church, Ale and the rest of the demons sit as quietly as a demon can, and their eyes watch the ongoing project. After making sure everything needed was available, Judas gestured to Ale to come with him to a deserted part of the chu
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE JOKES OF THE SEASON
Apart from the new paint on the wall, the house was exactly the way Terry remembered it. Same furniture, same electronics, same tiles, and the same stench of alcohol and medicines. His stepdad was sitting at his favorite position before the television, his eyes red as a result of excessive alcohol, and saliva was drooling out of the corner of his mouth as he screamed at the rugby player who missed a golden chance. As for his mother, she was sitting on a chair at the end of the sitting room. Her face was pale and soft moaning occasionally escaped from her partly close mouth. "This is where I grew up," Terry informed Holo as they stepped into the well-furnished sitting room.The ball of light turned around and then offered a smile, "except for the dirtiness and the nauseating smell, this is not bad for a room.""Well, it wasn't like this in the beginning," Terry said as the memory of his childhood flowed into his mind. His mother was a strong and energetic woman, and his father was a l
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS PROUD DEMON FROM GHOUL
The renovation of the abandoned church continued the following day. And sound of hammers can be heard as they hit the nails on the heads. By midday, the workers all gathered in front of the church gate for their break. Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared and walked towards the men. The man was short and thin with a wide nose, while the woman was plumpy and had a habit of picking her nose with the middle finger of her left hand."Who is in charge here?" The man asked. His voice was extraordinarily loud for his stature."Are you asking for our boss or the one in charge of this church?" The foreman asked back. He was a tall and good-looking man, and always had a smile on his face. It was the woman who answered back, "the one in charge of the church, of course. What did we need your boss for?""That is Mr. Judas. You will see him inside the church premises," the foreman replied. The two visitors both nodded their heads and then walked towards the church premises. Just as they were tol

A BLESSING OR A CURSE?
Danny was back in the clinic barely after a few hours of stepping out of it. This time around, he had no choice but to speak a half-truth. His neighbor's house was on fire, so he helped in putting out the fire. And that was where he sustained the burn on his back. After being treated twice by the same doctor within twenty-four hours, and of course, being told the advantages of letting professional hands handle a fire outbreak, Danny was allowed to leave.

THE NICE GUY
The past twenty-four hours had been blurry. A kind of journey between earth and hell. Between Realities and hallucinations. But at last, Jimmy woke up and his eyes darted around. His heart missed a breath when he saw the man staring down at him. Bobby. But his rioting mind soon calmed down when he saw the lady beside him. He knew this lady. She had been appearing in his dreamlike existence. Cleaning his wound and bandaging him up. "Howie friend. Glad you're back from the dreamland."That was Bobby's voice. He called him a friend. Satisfying but Unbelievable. Jimmy felt as if he was still stranded in the dreamland.

"your recovery is a wonder, Jimmy. And I can't believe that your bones were almost healed. This is a miracle, Bobby.Bobby knew it wasn't a miracle. The demon in him told him. Th
THE STREET LAW

ANOTHER SUCKER

However, the agent was delayed by an unexpected hold-up. Roland adjusted the telescope in his hand, focusing his gaze on Judas. Due to some unknown interference with the speakers placed close to the church, Roland's conversation with a young man sounded like a rat scratching a rubber tank.
