Chapter 8: CHAPTER VIII: I Almost Die

The bedroom became completely quiet and isolated. The golden curtain that cascaded on the window was blown by the strong wind.

Sun already set west and the sky became dark. Undeniably, the night was a very haunted time.

Harvey was awakened by the loud bang on the door. He quickly straightened up and checked the thing outside the door.

It was an unexpected visitor. John was at the door. His eyes were abnormal and his whole face was covered with lots of blood. The man was holding dissected arm with shredded flesh. John smiled at him strangely and began to talk, "Harvey, why you're not eating?". John's voice was hoarse and spookish. It gave Harvey a feeling of danger so he quickly closed the door. Bang! The man behind the door screamed. "I hate you!". Harvey locked it and put chairs and tables along the door. Outside, the freaky person was striking the door continuously. It took minutes before the ghastly noise disappeared.

Harvey took a deep breath and he sit on his bed. He looked around his bedroom. His bedroom was a nonabnormal sight and there was no peculiar atmosphere. It looked safe so he laid down in his bed. He stared at the ceiling for a long time. The happening of this world was no longer usual. People were cannibalistic and they were unaware of what they were doing. Devouring flesh was a monstrous act and ghastly sight.

Harvey closed his eyes and fell asleep. His breaths became even and he was no longer aware of his environment.

While the cannibals were in his living space and busily churning the dead. They were like zombies that were undernourished and will eat anything. In the corner, Harvey's clone was hunching down at the floor and snacking the corpse's leg. The other ghouls in the room have already chowed down all the dead' flesh so they paced around searching for another gross. They found Harvey's clone at the corner who was biting half of the human leg. They quickly ran towards him and feasted on the thing. Harvey's clone was disturbed so he hurriedly covered the human leg onto his belly. The ghouls became upset when the man stocked the gross food. One of the monsters started making screams and angered. "You greedy!"

Harvey's clone hid below the table. He coiled his body to keep from being noticed. Unfortunately, these ghouls have gained intelligence. They saw the man under the table. Harvey's clone was hauled out by his fellow monsters. They were screaming and cackling. Poor Harvey's clone was torn into pieces when the ghouls attacked him violently. His limbs were being plucked out from his torso. Blood was surging. Ghouls were feasting on his poor body. The greedy monster was being eaten by his fellows.

The atmosphere in the living room was very unusual. The floor was flooded with blood and messed up with bits of flesh.

Back in the bedroom, Harvey was still crashing on his bed. The silent place was disturbed when the clock's hand ticked loudly. It was twelve midnight. Harvey was still asleep when the black hole appeared again. The scorching monster jumped out from the black hole. It was howling and weeping when he watched Harvey on the bed. The ashes on his body were soaked by his tears and gradually dispersed. Its body turned into dust and was blown by the strong wind. The black hole dissolved at the door and melted into thin air.

The midnight was perfunctory. In the east, the sun was already shining. The road outside the apartment became busy. Cars and motorcycles were already moving. It was a fair day. Sunlight struck the window emitting a beautiful sight.

Zion already waken. He aroused from the bed and checked Harvey. Harvey was still sleeping.

Zion watched Harvey closely. He touched the man's cheek and stroked it gently. Harvey's face was bewitching. Harvey had a thin nose and cute two dimples. His eyebrows were shaped and his skin was fair.

Harvey was panting and quickly aroused. He saw Zion on his side smiling at him. He batted his eyelid to prove that the man was Zion. He slapped his face hardly that tingled his cheek.

"Are you alright? Last night, you were dreaming, right?", Zion asked.

Harvey who was still in a daze asked, "It was a nightmare. Is this the reality?"

"Indeed, I am real and you too. What was it? Tell me.", Zion who was sitting in the bed rose and walked towards the window.

"You said before that you are a keeper. Then why you're not there to protect me?", Harvey pressed a question.

"Do I? How can I enter your mind? I wanna try.", Zion faced him and smiled.

Harvey was still confused. His nightmare was very concrete.

"Zion, you were there but you were one of them.", Harvey continued.

"Really? What monsters were there?"

Harvey sit straight in the bed and rested his back on the pillow. "You ate people. John also ate too. They were cannibals."

"Oh, you saw me eating human? Then, that monster was the very dangerous one. In the netherworld, there were thousands of monsters and ghouls that will haunt human beings. As for you, you just encountered two of them. That latter one is very dangerous."

Harvey interrupted,"What kind of monster is that?"

Zion paced languidly around the bedroom and continued, "It could be the scorching man. That freak loves to haunt humans while they are sleeping. In the past, one of my clients was killed by him. The poor woman was in a deep sleep when the scorching man attacked him. That woman's mind was clean so that monster can't enter it directly. So, that freak became bored from entering and exiting the black hole. He stabbed the woman's belly a thousand times until it shreds."

"How do you know that happen?", Harvey interrogated.

"The Earth was being monitored. When someone died, the netherworld will announce it."

"So,if I die, the netherworld will announce it too. So..."

Zion waved his hand to interrupt."No, you will not die."

"How certain you are?"

"As long as I am here.", Zion smiled

Harvey rolled his eyes and got up from the bed. He continued to tell his story from that nightmarish sleep.

"So, you see me there, almost die.", Zion interjected.

"I think so. Tell me, how can you protect me if that is the case.", Harvey demanded.

"Well, I was there on the outside so I was the guard on duty.", Zion mocked again.

"I just wondering how did I able to get from that nightmare."

"You wanna try it again with me?", Zion joked.

"Fuck off."

"Alright. I will not piss you off again. Wanna eat something?", Zion uttered and hurriedly went to the kitchen.
