Nightmare 3

 The light was so bright that Emmanuel had to cover his eyes with both his hands. While Emmanuel's eyes were covered, something weird happened. This was suppose to be a dream, but somehow the short man, the shadow and the bat seemed to actually have consciousness. They also covered eyes. If Emmanuel were to see this, he would definitely be shocked. 

 A short while after, Emmanuel opened his eyes and removed his hands from covering them only to find himself in a sort of world filled with light. It lasted only for a short moment as the next seconds, he was no longer there. But this short moment was beyond shocking for Emmanuel. This was because while he was in immersed in the world of white light and took a view of it, he felt a sort of warmth he had never felt before. This warmth was not like the one he felt when with his dad or his mom. Instead it was like he was in the presence of someone he cared about more than his parents and the person also does care about him more than his parent could ever. It was weird because he didn't really see anybody there. All he saw is a white lights that threatened to blind his eyes. 

 As soon as his consciousness flashed through the white light, he suddenly awakened. He was back to reality. 

 Emmanuel was currently in deep thought, he was a bit confused. He was yet to have understood every that just transpired now. He still felt it was all to weird. He laid on his bed as he continued in his deep thought still trying to decode the happenings.

 " Was it truly all a dream " He thought inward. The reason he found it all weird and was having second thought about it being just a dream was specially due to the light. If he said everything he went through at first, starting from the from the feeling of being caged after entering his neighbours house to the far he felt when he encountered the shadow, the short man and the human-headed-bat felt real, then he would definitely say the encounter with the white light was beyond the simple definition of real. The feelings of looking at his closest kin was just to real.

 " Was that heaven " He muttered. Anyone who heard him right now would feel he sounded stupid as very few people thoroughly believed heaven was real. Even few going to churches. They just carried faint hope that they weren't wrong either because they are afraid of not making heaven or they just needed something and so having no where else to go, they ran to the church as their last hope. But of course there were also the ones that were just following their friends and family or the crowd in general.

 " How could it be " Emmanuel muttered again. Even though he couldn't really be classified on the same crew with those set of people, it was hard to believe such a thing. Afterall, how many pastors, prophet or priest could say they have seen heaven. The answer normally should be none, but then due to the absence of impossibilities in the world, maybe a few then. 

 The actual reason Emmanuel was questioning whether this was an ordinary dream was that, normally extreme stuffs like urinating, seeing bright lights, one's name being called and it likes happening in dreams meant that it was actually happening in real life. But then after waking up due to the white light, what he woke up to was extreme darkness. There was no visible light that could have shone on his eyes anywhere. This was the weirdest of all the things he had noticed. 

 " Never mind, I think I better forget about it. I would just settle down with praying " He said. After speaking, he closed his eyes and bowed his head down. And with those actions carried out, he started letting out words after words of prayer escape his mouth. 

 At an unknown place in an unknown village, at an unknown town which exist in an unknown state, somewhere in Nigeria. At the middle of a forest surrounded by trees . The constants howls and roars of wild animal could be heard easily at this point in the forest. A slightly big hut stood tall at the core of the forest. Anyone who saw this would definitely call the people living in such a house crazy, of course that was if anyone lived there as no one would possibly believed there was someone within. 

 Well shockingly within the house, there were actually three people. Two males and one female. The weird thing about this hut and the three people within was the hut design, and the current posture of the three people within. There were all sorts and colours of candles within the hut with a lot of not so recognizable designs within it. And for the three people, they were currently lying round a certain purple coloured candle. If their heads were used as edges to draw lines, the shape of a triangle could be made out, with the purple candle right at its middle. These people currently had their faces facing the ceiling with their hands resting on their bellies. Suddenly, the eyes of the three people shut open. A red coloured liquid started rolling down their eyes as soon as it shut open. 

 They said nothing and did nothing. Not even their bodies were moving. These people were actually two men and one woman. If Emmanuel were here, he would definitely be shocked beyond his core. He would be able to recognise one of them as one was a short man. The one Emmanuel just encountered in his dream. 

 Another shocking factor that might scare him more than the short man did, if he was able to find out was that, this three were actually dead.
