The Wrong Dark House! Chapter 16— These people are Strange
Joe, by now had become used to the way the Johnson's door freely flung open, all he had to do was walk into the house; after all, he was a freeman in the house now, so he thought. Now and then he recalled his first day in the Mansion, all he could was chuckle at the memory. He swung himself on to the bed and decided to watch some TV. An hour later, a soft knock came at the door, Joe quickly went to the door and brought it to his command, he found two little kids staring at him with large innocent eyes and a large cup of smoothie with one of them. "Hey Karen, hey George! What you guys doing here?" "We brought this for you!". "Thanks! It's been all while since I had a smoothie. Uh– would you like to come in?" The kids entered the room excitedly and sat on the large sofa. "When did you guys return?" "Few minutes ago!", Christian answered. "So, how was school?" "Good!" They chorused. "Okay– ", Joe looked up at the ceiling and then back at the kids, not knowing what else to say. "I
The Wrong Dark House! Chapter 17— The second Strange Night
Joe laid on his kingly bed, spending the time away chatting. He scrolled through the messages on his phone— the chats he hadn't had time to reply to, were all lined up. Soon, he fell asleep; sleep was something every person had to obey, and the young man was exhausted. The large clock in the hall struck 11pm and all the while it had sounded so loud, old and dusty, it never seemed to disturb anyone whenever it spoke out with its loud voice. Joe had slept soundly these past nights despite the old clock's chime. Strangely, this time around, the doctor's eyes sprung open at the sound of the round clock. His eyes blinked flutteringly, His heart raced— he could hear it beating almost as if it would burst out from his chest; but it didn't! His eyes hung open, heavily. His dark skin tingled and ached. Instantly, he felt cold and his teeth clattered. He felt stiff, but somehow managed to come to his senses. He gasped in shock, realizing where he was. Quickly, he stood up from the bed and st
The Wrong Dark House! Chapter 18— Death
Another howl alarmed him, this time it sounded close. He turned his head and eyes in every direction, he broke a sweat, his heart froze. His head and eyes ached; for he knew the howling was for him. He continued his trek— slowly yet boldly, he was back in the middle of the tall frozen trees and the air felt more chilly. Two golden bright eyes came lurking in the misty shadows, two became four and four became ten eyes! The winter wolves had decided to come face to face with the stranger in their territory and Joe was frightened as hell. The white canines were beautiful creatures, but the doctor knew he wasn't to be fooled by their charm. One by one they came out of the misty shadows– snarling, gnarling, glaring at him, walking majestically in a formation towards the doctor. Joe stood still only for seconds, then he began moving backwards away from the wolves, but how he managed to move his legs he just didn't know; for he was fear stricken. The wolves barked at h

Joe! Joe! Doctor Joe!He could hear something like a faint voice calling out a word, his eyes opened up but his sight still blurry. Gradually he began to see her face— the beautiful lady with strange eyes who made his heart skip a beat. A silent smile appeared on his cheeks. "I got to see you one last time" he whispered. "Joe! Joe Wake up, I'm here, come back to us!" This time he could hear Viola's voice clearly. She tried to shake him out of it. With a fright, Joe raised up half of his body from the bed, Viola grabbed hold of him and held him close. "It's alright, 'Twas a dream", she whispered into his ears trying to calm him. In a swift motion, he left her arms; turning his head to the floor and let out several loud coughs. Finally he felt free, he began to understand where he was. He saw the lady beside him and some persons were standing over him. "I- I was dead!" the words came out breathlessly, his clothes were soaked in his own sweat. "No you only thought you were. You were
The Wrong Dark House! Chapter 20— Leaving the Dark House
Joe came down to join The Johnson's for breakfast the next morning. He had managed to use the remaining hours of the night for an interrupted sleep. He felt a sense of peace when he awoke that morning. He freshened up, packed his bags and ended up in some nice clothes and high class shoes. He was ready for the day ahead! "Good morning to you all!" "Good morning Dr Joe!" Everyone greeted back. "Care to join us for breakfast?" Amelia invited him. "Would be delighted to!" Joe dragged out a wooden chair without arms from underneath the shiny wooden table, and sat comfortably on it. "Hmm, this is an amazing breakfast! The food looks and smells inviting!" Joe rubbed his palms in excitement and anticipation. Viola smiled meekly. "Indeed Joe, indeed!" Uncle Millie agreed. Everyone ate to their fill, clashing the forks, knives and spoons together with the glass plates— which created a lovely dining table music; a simple song that anyone would hear and know that they were eating. They ha

Joe stood up and this time Viola began to study his features with a hidden smile. She noticed that Joe wore a white T–shirt which emphasized his chest and arm muscles, he wore a hugging black jean trouser and he stood inside a white pair of sneakers. His low cut hair and clean shave made him look so handsome, his dark skin shone under the luminescence of the lamps in the room. Viola stood there daydreaming and being swept away by Joe's charms, her hearing was deaf to the outside world— all she could see was Joe in slow motion, background lights and wind blowing, he was a fairytale!
