“Why are you just here?” He asked with a groan in his voice.

“Sorry, I couldn't easily get the way to this place,” the young man said with a little fear as regards Jack's facial expression.

“Just drop it and get off!” He snapped.

The pizza guy stretched the pizza box and a paper bag containing a pet drink and some chicken nuggets to Jack who snatched it from him aggressively. He watched as the guy ran off on his lawn, hissing loudly, he slammed the door and clocked.

With the pizza box in his hand and the paper bag in the other hand, he managed to get into the car.

The wheels of Jack's car hummed beneath the road as he navigated the familiar route back to Peterson's villa. Martha, standing by the gate outside, o

Almost getting to them, she turned back and decided to take another approach. She walked to the living room, on the wall around the corner was a switch which Emily pressed and it made a loud piercing sound.

    Leonard, looking rugged against the backdrop of the vast seascape, stood with an air of quiet introspection. The ocean's rhythmic waves, once his only companions, seemed to echo the weariness written across his face. His bag, worn and weathered, bore witness to a journey that left its mark not only on him but also on the possessions that accompanied him. It seemed the bag also underwent the fight with him, they looked alike in their physical appearance and tiredness.With a heavy sigh, Leonard retrieved his bag, a tangible evidence to the solitude he had sought by the ocean's edge. Farewell echoed in the soft rustle of the wind as he turned away, a lone wanderer bidding adieu to the place that had accepted his moments of solitude and contemplation for empowerment in bodily places.As Leonard embarked on his journey back, a subtle pull in his heart tugged him toward an unknown destination. The road ahead, though familiar, seemed to offer a mere semblance of the solace he sought. His st

    In the midst of the escalating turmoil within his body in the confines of the car, Leonard's consciousness succumbed to the intensifying pain that suddenly grew within him. The world around him blurred before falling into darkness as his body, overwhelmed by an overflow of emotions and unexplainable sensations surging from his energy source, gave way to unconsciousness.Looking back and recognizing the gravity of the situation, the man at the wheel, driven by a sense of urgency and concern, decided to park and check Leonard but changed his mind and reached for his phone. With trembling fingers, he dialed Peterson, the only person he can think of to help him out.The man's voice quivered slightly as he recounted the unfolding events to Peterson, his urgency palpable through the phone lines.“Mr. Peterson, it's... Something is happening and it might be terrible. Leonard, he's in pain, and... I don't know what to do. He seems to be unconscious and… I think he fainted,” he cried out in co

    “I need to go!” He suddenly said, groaning lowly.“What?” Emily questioned him in total shock and with surprise. She hadn't expected him to welcome her with such a statement.“Emily, I need to go and I need to go now,” he said as a matter of urgency.“What do you mean? Where are you going to?” She questioned him.“Emily, you won't understand but didn't you get my letter? Just check my room and you will see it by the bedside,” he said to her as he tried to move away from her grip.“Where are you going to? Are you trying to avoid me or what? I am not going to answer to that or do whatever is written in there,” she stubbornly said to him as if trying to prove a point.As large as the house was, he could only see it from the eye of a needle, Leonard's internal struggle manifested in the subtle contortions of his face, a silent battle against an unseen force that tugged at the core of his being, within him.Emily, who had anticipated joy and relief in Leonard's return, found herself confro

With all the attention on her she felt unease especially with Emily glaring at her.Amid the uncertainty that hung in the air, unsure of what to do as their eyes remained on her, she was uncomfortable. Taking her eyes off the young cook slash cleaner, Emily warmed up to Leonard and looked at him before she led him out of the house, hand in hand. The door closed behind them, muffling the sounds of the household staff within.

Something's might go wrong or just to be an extra hand,” Jack Peterson looking towards the open door.“No, give them some space for now. We need to understand what's happening here first. We need to know why Leonard is like that first but for someo

She attempted to slip into the house unnoticed, but Lenon, her grandfather, crossed her path, as he stood in the center of the room with his stern gaze fixed upon her.“Hey, young lady!

He asked her with a disappointed tone.Claire halted, a sheepish expression crossing her face as she lowered the bag to the ground and unfreeze herself and turned to her grandfather.“Just heading out, Grandpa. Nothing important,” she mumbled with a smile.“We are dealing with a serious situation here, and you choose now to go out? And come back by this time? What's in that bag?” He asked her firmly, pointing to the bag.Claire hesitated, then reluctantly unzipped the bag to reveal a set of dark clothes and a compact device.

    As Talia pondered the mysterious message she had received, she realized that the evil she had encountered might not be from her universe at all. It could be from another universe, just like hers.

What they discovered was both fascinating and terrifying.It turned out that there were indeed countless universes, each with its own set of rules and inhabitants. These universes existed parallel to each other, separated by a thin veil that kept them from interacting.However, something was causing these universes to overlap, creating rifts that allowed beings from one universe to enter another.

    Talia's heart pounded as she stood face to face with a figure she thought she would never see again—her mother, who had passed away many years ago. The apparition shimmered before her, bathed in an ethereal light that cast long shadows across the room."Talia, my dear," her mother's voice was a soft whisper, filled with both sorrow and urgency. "You are in grave danger. There is an evil force lurking in the shadows, one that seeks to destroy everything you hold dear."Talia's mind raced as she tried to process the sight before her. Was this truly her mother, returned from the dead to deliver a warning? Or was it some trick of the darkness, seeking to manipulate her?"I don't understand," Talia said, her voice barely a whisper. "What do you mean, an evil force?"Her mother's form flickered, as if struggling to maintain its presence. "There is a darkness coming, Talia. A darkness unlike anything you have ever faced before.
