CHAPTER 34: THE GAME
“The clock is ticking and you are searching for the knife that can be your weapon… or use against you” The whispered inside my head is singing while I visualize every corner of the house, and listen to his footsteps. I can still hear his heavy breathing too and I know he is trying to open the back door, but he is just wasting his time opening it because I locked it from the outside.
“Doo… doo… doo… The clock is ticking and you are searching for the knife that can be your weapon… or use against you” The song that I invent inside my head while my eyes are still closed waiting for the time to be over and he is dead.
I heard some noises that I know he made. He is lifting a hard c

MORTEM CHAPTER 35: THE LOVE
I stare at the dead Ross and feel nothing while holding my phone, because he deserved to die. Now it’s time for Eigner to pay for everything that he did to me. I remember how he carried me just to give me to the hungry demons. I remember how he looked at me, how he looked into my eyes while abusing me. He is cold and numb. Numb to hear my cry and feel my pain, but now I am the one who is numb and cold now. I want to cry but my tears are already dry, because crying is what I have been doing since I was a child.I sat on the couch and looked at Ross, sitting dead on the chair. I didn’t expect that I would get him that easy. Next is Eigner and I took another photo of Ross and photos of me too. Photos of the blood on my face, to make him nervous and convince him to come. I will use the photos to trap Einger. I need the fly to come on my web so that I can rip him into pieces, and
MORTEM CHAPTER 36: THE REGRET
He is the last line of the demons who planted a seed in me. A seed of pain and hatred that had already grown for a long time that it’s already inside of me, and when I got tired of stabbing him. I sat beside him and saw him not moving. He is already dead. I took a deep breath and wiped the sweat on my forehead. His blood was all over me and I leaned on the wall and saw the cabinet was open, where I hid the knife. I stood up to check if the knife was there but I was surprised when I saw it was no longer there. I checked all the boxes inside the cabinet but I didn’t find the knife. I checked it under the cabinet because maybe I accidentally dropped it and kicked it, but it was not under the cabinet. I tried to remember where I put the knife even though I know where I put it. I remember I put the knife from one of those boxes inside the cabinet, but I don't know why it is no longer there, because if Einger found it. He will use it on me and kill me. I kn

MORTEM CHAPTER 2: THE HELL
I woke up in a place that wasn’t familiar to me. I am naked and only a white blanket is covering my body. I removed the blanket because I can’t breathe and I feel hot too. Like my skin will get burnt and that makes it hard for me to breathe. I am sweating a lot. I looked around while wrapping the blanket on me because I am naked. I tried to find my clothes but it’s gone. I don’t know what happened but I remember that our bus fell off a cliff and now I am here. In a dark, hot place that smells like sulfur, garbage, rotten and dead flesh. I don’t know but I feel suddenly scared when I hear voices. They are screaming, crying, mourning and most of them are asking for help and I don’t know why and I don’t even know where the voices came from. It seems that they are everywhere. I feel a little shiver as I continue walking trying to find a way out. Each step that I made I felt stones and sand on my feet and I kept lo
MORTEM CHAPTER 3: THE MORGUE
I woke up sweating. I was gasping for air to breathe and I heard a woman crying beside me. I immediately removed the blanket and plastic that was covering me and I saw my mom crying beside me. She is the woman that I heard crying. Her eyes were swollen because of crying too much. I looked at her and she was looking at me too. Scared, shocked, and emotionless. She froze when she saw me and I guess she didn't know what to do if she will scream or run away.“What’s going on?” I asked while looking around. My throat and lips are dry, which is why my voice is a little husky. I am in a room that I cannot recognize with her. I am lying on a tile that looks like a bed. I am inside the half-closed body bag and I am naked. I have a bracelet too with my name and a date on it. I tried to walk but I am too weak. My legs are shaking. I can’t even stand up but still, I am forci
