The beginning of the end,Part 2



Day 2,3

The following couple of days were a mixed bag. The food was slowly running out,but it was going according to plan,no unplanned meals. The sleep was not the best as the old lighthouse was leaking and making all kinds of ungodly noises. Young men were taking turns making sure nobody comes to the lighthouse who should not be there,maintaining the light and keeping it smooth,running and clean. The days were slow,boring and sometimes tedious but the two friends were optimistic and excited that they were working at the famed lighthouse,making money,making a name for themselves. This was the calm before the storm which will rip these friends apart.

Day 4

The mid week is when it all started to go wrong. The day started with a strong storm.Violent winds,raging sea and a strong rain.It was hard to see,the lighthouse was leaking,howling and the upkeep was difficult to carry out. With supplies running low,with men eating food faster than they thought they would,unable to ration as planned,they were trying to stop the passing small boats to ask for supplies to last til next week. Today was their lucky day,or so they thought. In the morning they noticed a small boat,fighting the storm,heading towards the city and past the lighthouse. They ran out,screamed and shouted,waved their arms around just to get the boats attention but to no avail. The following minute they saw,the massive powerful wave pick up the small boat and toss it against the rock,smashing it into tiny little pieces.Crew,the people on board were flying everywhere,screaming for help,drowning in the raging seas as their boat was smashed into pieces and sinking slowly.It was like watching a child play with little soldiers and scatter them all across the floor in the one swoop,only these were real people,facing the elements and the elements won.
Two friends were in despair,they witnessed a boat get smashed,just like their hope for more supplies and crew of the boat scream to them for help only to die helpless. It was damaging,scaring and terrifying.Alex and Cyrus were in despair,hopeless,depressed.They returned to the lighthouse and focused on what they had to do.Barely talking to one another now,another day passed.After what happened and with supplies running low,there was no mood or energy between both of them.

Day 5
After what has happened yesterday,both men retreated to themselves. They were sad,depressed,hopeless and lost. Many dark emotions were running through young men’s heads.They both started to believe this is going to be their end. This is how it ends. The lighthouse stories are true. All that visit the island,the rock,will die.Lighthouse,sea,rock,will get them. Supplies are running very low now,they both have to eat for day extra til resupplies come and storms are not stopping. Men were talking less,they got more isolated and more territorial with Cyrus and Alex arguing over whose food belongs to whom and who sleeps where. Relationship was getting strained,intense. The air was cold,but not just from the weather but the atmosphere in the lighthouse was no better than the storms outside. 


Chapter 3,the finale,will be uploaded in the coming days,hold on tight,it's a big one..

Performance anxiety

   I´m so nervous. This is my first time. Hands shaking uncontrollably. Never really felt this way. It is like they are not my own. Sweat dripping all over me. All over my face and down my brow. I feel my whole body shake. I don´t feel steady on my own two legs but I know,I will get used to it with time. I know it will be alright. Besides,I have the best tutor. Nerves are natural,he said,and it would be strange not to be nervous. It will get better. Still hear that in my mind,which by the way is a nervous wreck at this point. I can´t think straight. All I can think about is making sure it goes down well,it´s perfect. It´s my first time but still.    Here we are,student and the master so to speak. About to begin the show. I am a wreck and he has seen it all. Thank God he is by my side. I do need the guidance even though we practised a dozen times,i still need all the help I can get I want to be perfect. At the moment he is giving me the talk,it will be alright,he s...

At the top of the hill

   Old wooden church at the top of the hill. Some people say cultists gather at night to worship the demons. There were tales of sacrifice,people captured and kept there. Chanting has been heard from a distance by some and blood has been found in the area.Whether you believe it or not it seems like something,something is going on there. Some people speak of salvation and say that church does a great thing,helps people. Maybe it does but nobody speaks openly about what they see or hear at night and now. Now it is time to find out. The angry crowd gathered outside the church at night,they are determined to find out what is happening in their house of worship at night,whether the rumours are true and if they are,the cultists,those who abuse the faith will pay. As a the crowd approached the church,the doors flung open. People in cloaks and capes,covered in blood,carrying stones and books ran out.Screams were heard from within. Some managed to escape through the crowd while so...

“Rip. Rip rip away. Rip away the pain. Rip away the suffering. It is over. Do not worry little angel. It is done now. You are free and you will not suffer no more.I will make you better,I will stop the pain and I will help you leave this wretched twisted world. You are too good for them. Let me help you. Be free now little angel. Go forth.”He said making the last slice across the dead mangled face,finishing his masterpiece.     Once the latest piece was completed,it was ready to be presented now. He dressed his little angel up and hanged her high up for all to see, he is here. He will help all the angels of the city and they can rest easy,their time will come. For all the sinners,it was a sign. He was in the city and he will save the pure souls from the wicked one´s influence. All the angles will be free and they will all soar high,and when the time will come,he will join the angels. That night,he disappeared into the darkness of the streets. Lurking in the shadows,tra...
