THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS DEMONS IN CHURCH
The island of Eldo was populated by the first and dominant Irish settlers, then the Muslim settlers from Asia, and later by African traditional worshipers. Yet, despite the fusion of different religions and personalities, Eldo's settlers believe in living and letting others live. A few months ago, the peace of the whole island was shattered by the murder of a nineteen-year-old student of Anderson College. Investigations were made, suspects were arrested and a trial began. Finally, all the suspects were discharged and acquitted as a result of lack of evidence, and Terry's case was swept under the carpet.Kaul was among the earthbound demons that ruled the earth for five thousand years before they were cast into a ghoul. Today, the memories of his glorious days flashed through his mind as he barreled down the pulsating corridor at a quickened pace. The apartment was a mess, but getting good accommodation in this neighborhood was sheer hell. Why on earth would they choose this old aband
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS A LITTLE WORM OF NO SIGNIFICANCE
Jimmy was a black young man of nineteen years old, and the only son of a single mother. According to his mother, Jimmy's father was a racist who saw it repulsive to marry a black woman after putting her in the family's way. So, he rejected the pregnancy, got married to another lady of his race, and then lived happily after. Jimmy's misery started the day Bobby Shit and Co got acquitted of their crime and returned to school. Jimmy will forever hate Terry for this. If he had not gotten himself killed, then those bullies wouldn't have picked him as their new target. Quite unfortunate. Jimmy lighted a fat stinking cigar. He'd started smoking again and it was all Terry's fault. He made him quit. Now that he is dead and can no longer complain, Jimmy sees no reason why he should not pick his old habit up.It had not always been like this. All doom and gloom. But now...well, things were different now that he had given up on life and now considering suicide. He could trace it all back to the
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS SUPERNATURAL INTRUSION
I want to leave this body, Terry thought. I want to just float out the same way I came in. And that's what he did, detached himself like a wet Band-Aid, flopping to the ground beside a suddenly exhausted Jimmy. Jimmy's lungs were pumped to bursting, and his legs shook like reeds, "Oh! You have not only broken my mother's favorite chair, but now you have made me break our television. What have you gotten me into, Terry?""It's okay, Jimmy," Terry mumbled to pacify his near-to-tears friend."You know, for a second there..." Jimmy puffed. "For a second there, I was scared and thought I was dying.""It's kinda eerie to me as well.""So, why are you back, Terry?""You won't believe it?""Try me.""I'm back to capture some earthbound demons and then send them back to Ghoul."Jimmy snorted. He had believed Terry came to haunt those who killed him, and anything besides that wasn't welcome in his ear. "What about Bobby and his gang of hyenas?""Well," Terry said. "I may pay them a visit sinc
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS SHOOTING DEMONS WITH A BANANA
Terry and Jimmy walked through the deserted neighborhood. Well, Jimmy walked, and Terry kind of floated beside him. "What is it like to be dead?" "I haven't been dead for long, so I think am a kind of a newbie.""You have been dead for six months, Terry. That's a long time ago.""Six months! Oh, It seemed like yesterday to me.""Is heaven real?""Verily.""And hell?""Yes.""Tell me about heaven?""I didn't make it there. I was stopped in front of the pearl gate ."Jimmy's eyes became huge. "It's the gate truly made of Pearl? It must be really beautiful.""Yeah. Very beautiful and filled with shining light. I'm unable to glance at it because of the dazzling light, so I can't describe it to you in detail.""Tell me everything that has happened to you since you died."Terry cleared his throat and began to narrate everything he had passed through, he told him about the tunnel and the floating dots, about Saint Peter, the earthbound demons, and then about the reason why he was sent back

Blue sits beside the television and watches as his colleague possesses Bobby. It was all fun, and he was laughing hysterically. Suddenly, he heard a knock. Out of curiosity, Blue slipped through the room wall and appeared beside Terry and Jimmy. Terry's hologram instantly screamed out. "That's one of the earthbound demons, Terry. He is standing in front of you. Pull out your gun and shoot him back to Ghoul.""Oh, no," Blue screamed and tried to vanish into the thin air, but Terry was faster than he had imagined. Terry immediately pointed the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. A puff...puff sound was heard, and the earthbound demon instantly turned to smoke.Terry who just shoots blindly to a space in front of him asks, "Is the demon dead?"Jimmy wasn't aware of the presence of the supernatural, but he saw Terry pulling out his banana and then pointing it at a space. And out of fear, he leaped out of the pointed banana"You just killed your first demon, Terry. Congratulations
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS KILL THE SOUL MAN
Lucifer was angry. Even Klaus can feel it from the other side of the call. "Just an instruction, Klaus. A simple instruction and you messed everything up.""I apologize a thousand times for my shortcoming, Lucifer-san."The caller from the other side screamed back. "No, Klaus. Apology alone can't rectify this. You know our first commandment, don't you?"Kaul nodded. He was afraid it would come to this. "Yes, my Lord.""Forgiveness is a sin, isn't it?"Klaus tensed, "am afraid so."There was a long silence and then the voice was in a whisper. "I will give you another chance to redeem yourself. You won't fail me again, will you?""I won't, Lucifer-san.""Foul it up one more time and I won't hesitate to put you in the sewage stream.""Oh, Lucifer-san. Be rest assured that I won't fail.""Where is Shrek?""I have locked him up in an underground cell under the church.""Good. Let him remain there until I decide a befitting punishment for him," Lucifer mumbled and then added, "The sewage s
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS THE SMELL OF SULPHUR
Judas dragged his feet through the lonely church. Not that the church was deserted or Judas was alone, it was filled to the brim with demons. But the supernatural was unseen by Judas' human eyes. Judas has no reason to be here. Why here when he could get what he needs elsewhere? He can get it from a place that is not as scary as here. But then, something had been beckoning him to come here, and he wasn't the type who shied away from summoning. The echoes of his shoes made an eerie sound as he walked towards the end of the church. Judas was scared, not because of the eerie sound from his footsteps, but because of this strange and nauseating smell. He had been smelling it since he stepped inside. Like a mixture of sulfur and some unknown chemicals. Moments later, Judas' boldness leaves him and he feels like running out of there. If only his feet would obey the command from his brain. Coming here was a bad idea after all. But what's the point in going back since he was here? The best he
THE GHOST AND THE EARTHBOUND DEMONS STOOP TO CONQUER
Opportunity they say comes but once. Even though the demon locked up inside an underground cell wasn't aware of this saying, nevertheless, he understood that he may never see another chance like this again. Because he was at the threshold zone of the tunnel, he had witnessed everything. He saw Kaul possessing Judas, saw the human convulsing, and then becoming unconscious. And without being told, he realized it was time to take his leave before he woke up. Shrek dipped his hand into one of the pockets of his tunic and brought out a fat, long cigar. He stared at it for a while and then turned towards a guard at the entrance of the gate leading to his cell. "I need a fire to light my cigar, Ammon-san."Ammon was a short, ugly, and old demon with wrinkling skin and a toothless mouth, and his bald head reflected the light shining through an opening in the tunnel roof. "Why don't you start a fire to light your cigar, Shrek?" Ammon asked back.Shrek snorted silently. He had noticed the taun
