BEING MRS SPENCE Episode 28 by Amah’s Heart

Maxwell drove, Bill sat beside him while Florence sat quietly at the back seat of the car.

Bill was trying hard to keep the car warm with conversation but he seems to be the only doing the the whole talking.

He wasn’t yet aware that Maxwell and Florence knew each other.

Bill asked for her address, Florence was grateful that they will be taking her home instead of dropping her halfway.

She opened her mouth to answer Bill Maxwell interrupted.

“I won’t be driving to her place, I’m dropping her in the next bustop. She should be able to find her way from there…she can call her husband to go pick her from there…”

Bill turned to him and said.

“C’mon Max, it won’t kill you if you drop the fine lady at her place. We are heading home and have nothing special doing this weekend, please let’s take her to her house even if is the closest bustop to her place…. don’t drop her in the next bustop…

“Well Bill, if you don’t have anything doing, I gat lot to do which includes swimming and resting. Even if I don’t have anything at all, I’m still not going anywhere close to her place. She should sort that out. If she can find her way to the field park then she should also find her way home… I’m not her driver or her husband…”

Bill looked at Maxwell shocked. He knew him to be down to earth, kind and always ready to render help. He doesn’t understand what got into him, making him to sound so harsh and wounded.

Bill tries to argue but Florence stopped him.

“Is fine Bill. I will find my way…I appreciate you trying to help. Next bustop is not that bad, I can easily locate my place. Is not really a big deal. Your friend has something eating at him, is okay if he does not feel like it…I do appreciate the effor…

Maxwell interrupted her angrily, surprising Bill.

“Did you just say I have something eating at me? you are just unbelievable Flox… you enjoyed every damn thing you did back then, you took pride in it and feels unremorseful about it. I don’t blame you at all, I blame myself for being a fool. I blame myself for trusting you, I blame myself for loving you withholding nothing. You are nothing but a pretentious liar. You probably thought you tricked me into doing your bidding, or emotionally blackmailed me but that’s where you lie…I did everything I did for you with a clear eyes and because I wanted to do it. You and your so called husband can go to hell and burn… I really don’t care.

Bill was speechless, he opened his eyes in shock as Florence replied Maxwell angrily.

“What else do you want me to do, I said I’m sorry…I have tried apologising and you said is cool. Why are you still trying to paint my sins on my face? Max, if you think I will burn in hell, you won’t be left out because of your unforgiving Spirit. Why do you pretend to love God, pray, attend church service, read your bible and yet you…

Maxwell shut her up again.

“You want to bring my faith into this, wow… you really do want me to pretend like nothing happened? maybe I should Give you a trophy for the world best lying, deceiving lady. You led me along a no road, left me stranded and move on to the arm of your dear husband, how petty is that. Amazing right? Your Coleman called me a loser, he said I was after his loving wife because I can’t get mine. He is super lucky, because if I laid a finger on him his half remaining Life will disappear. You and your stupid husband are pathetically. you think why I was after you was because I can’t get a single woman to marry?…no Florence. I can get any woman I want, I was only after you because i thought you are worth it but you proved to me that you are worthless…

Bill needed to step in, the heated argument was getting out of hand. Maxwell was speeding angrily as he kept talking.

“That’s enough man, is this the lady you told me about? I’m not aware that you both knew each other. You played a coded one on me and didn’t say anything all this while. please you need to stop calling her unprinted names Max, slow down please before you get us all killed…

Maxwell laughed sarcastically.

“Really… Bill, really? Please don’t tell me what to do… you don’t know what this lady did. You only listened to it as a story, you don’t feel my pain, so stop, just don’t try to tell me what to say and how to express myself. If you want her, please go for her but don’t try to tell me how or what to say… you feel me? I’m serious man. I was broken for weeks because of her, she is a Delilah…she got me, oh yeah, she did got me pined to the ground just as she wanted. She retuned to her husband and left me to go and die…but unfortunately for her I survived. This is the exact thing she did in the beginning. Impatiently broke up with me and went to be with a man that claims to love her better. i should have known…I should have traded carefully. You have never loved or cared for me…it has always been your Coleman. I get it…it all started to make sense after I realized I was being played… you played a smart one on me…”

“, Drop me here, I said I want to get down…” Florence barked angrily as she kept battling with tears.

“Oh Flox, you want to get down now, because you hate the truth, I thought you wanted me to take you to your angelic dear husband…. you changed your mind about it? Hahahaha… What were you even doing at the park, monitoring my life to see if I have moved on?Oh yeah, I have moved on and can give you a receipt of my moving. I’m better off without you… I never needed you in the first place…”

“I said stop the car, let me out…I want to get down Max…” Florence said this time she couldn’t hold the tears.

Bill was trying his best to calm his friend but he seems to be on another level of anger.

He has never seen him so angry.

“Stop the car man, you have said enough…she wants to get down. You are going to get us all killed with this crazy driving of yours. Slow down… Max, listen to me…I know you are bitter, I know you are hurt but you have to let go. Calm down… please… let it go. I’m really sorry for reopening the wound…I never meant to and I’m sincerely sorry….calm down Max…

He suddenly stopped, put his hand and head on the steering wheel.

Bill volunteered to drive instead because Maxwell was not in the right frame of mind.

Florence wiped off her face as she opened the door and stepped out without a word to any of them.

Before Bill will say something she was far gone without looking back.

A car almost hit her as she tries to cross the road without checking for incoming car.

She screamed out in terror, Bill and Maxwell looked in the direction of the scream and froze.

Maxwell rushed ahead of Bill to the spot, Florence has disappeared within in a twinkle of an eye.

She was gone, waved down a cab and off she went.

Maxwell retuned back to his car, took the passenger sit while Bill drove.

“Hey man, that was crazy… you almost killed that lady. Oh my God… what came over you? You may try to deny it but is quiet obvious that you still love her. You hate the fact that she kept chosing her husband over you, it hurt I know. But despite it all, you still loves her… you really need to let it go… You gave me a scare back there man…”

Maxwell did not say anything, he relaxed his head back on the seat and kept staring at nothing as Bill drove on.

********

Florence sobbed quietly inside the taxi, the man asked her severally if she was alright, she was too broken to reply and kept silent.

She is moving back to the master bedroom ones she gets home. God has already transformed Cole to a better man.

She will live happily with him, supporting him with all she has.

Loving and respecting him like she should and as a married woman that she was.

Maxwell could have aswell slapped or beat her up for what she did instead of saying everything he said.

She wished she had turned down the offer initially to Join them in the car.

It was a bad idea and she is regretting it now.

Maxwell painted her like a wicked being, but God will bear her witness that she never meant for any of what happened to happen.

She understands that he was deeply hurt, he pretended to have forgiven her the last time at his place, she never knew he had bottled up so much in his heart waiting for a perfect time to pour it all out.

She feels so broken more than ever, maybe a cuddle from Cole will erase all her fear and troubled heart tonight.

Florence wiped off a tear

Maxwell will never look at her the same way again, he will forever hate her.

And that is what hurt the most.

She never meant to hurt him, she wish she can go back in time and turn the wrongs into right so that everything happening now will go away.

She will have to focus on her marriage, maybe since Cole was off fertility drugs they can start trying for a baby.

Hoping that God will smile at them this time and really make them parents.

Atleast, Cole will start helping out ones he gets his first salary.

He will assist in special areas like paying the security guy at the gate, Dominic. who she kept promising to pay his two months pending salary soon. She feeds him and sometimes gives him stipend to hold on, that maybe why he has been patient with her.

Cole will also assist in other house expenses which has weighed her down for the past months.

she will have to pay Lizbeth off to go work somewhere else.

She has been nice to them and she will always have a home with the Spence but having her means extra expenses and they needs to cut down their spending if not, they won’t be able to save up.

So Lizbeth will have to go, is sad but there is no better option.

She does not really need any help to care for her home, it was Marina’s idea and Lizbeth has proven to be an angelic being.

And Lizbeth will definitely understand why she has to go work somewhere else.

They needs to have enough savings for the raining day, Cole too needs to save from his pay.

The only person they need is the security gentleman who guards the gate.

she was glad that Cole has bounced back and had already secured a job.

She has been giving him both money to fuel his car and other necessary things which he asked her for the money.

She was happy to assist as usual, Coleman was and will always be her husband, she only needs to be more prayerful so that things doesn’t go wrong again.

She will move into her matrimonial bedroom, allow her husband to love her as he should. Hoping to become pregnant from this year till next.

Having a baby will change a whole lot of things.

It will make her very happy and she knows Cole too will also be happy.

When she got close to her gate, she asked the cabman to stop, she paid him before stepping down.

Dominic, the security guy was surprised that Florence retuned without her car.

She told him that it was at the mechanic.

As she got closer to the house, she started hearing a loud moaning scream.

That was Lizbeth’s voice.

What was happening”, she wondered.

She called the security closer and asked him what could be going on and why was Lizbeth screaming

The security who knew what was going on didn’t want to say.

The first time he heard the scream, a month ago, he has gone through the back, peeped through the window that Lizbeth usually leave open.

He saw Mr Spence and Lizbeth crashing hard in the sitting room.

He wondered why they kept doing it in the parlour when they can save everyone the noise pollution and use the room instead.

He has had a thing with Lizbeth in the past, that was last month. After giving him food, they crashed out in his small room.

During the time Mr Spence was also ill, when he was getting his physiotherapist exercise, he has gotten intimate with Lizbeth.

That was the very first time and she warned him off after then.

He remained in his lane until she came back again on her own free will.

He had asked her Why she decided to come to him after all this while, she said because Mr Spence was not looking her way again ever since his wife returned back and secondly she misses his touch.

He knew the last part was a lie but smiled anyway.

He had asked Lizbeth to remain with him and leave married man alone to love his wife.

Lizbeth insulted him for saying that. She refused giving him food for two days despite Mrs Spence has always instructed that he gets fed twice in a day with good meal.

He threaten to report to Mrs Spence if Lizbeth continues with that attitude and that was how she started giving him food again.

The security wanted Mrs Spence to walk in on them because it was becoming too much.

He was glad that Mrs Spence did not return with her car, because ones the gates opened and a car drives in they will know and pretend like nothing happened.

It was time for their secrets to be opened, he hopes it won’t get bad.

Dominic, the security guy urged her to go inside and find out by herself.

Florence does not feel good with the way Dominic said it.

She breathed in, went to the door and quietly tries to open it but it was locked.

She has a spare key in her bag which was attached to the other bunch of keys.

Florence opened the door.

She quietly went straight to the dining area where the scream was coming from.

They were on the dining. Lizbeth bent over the table while Cole was making out with her from her behind.

He has a top on, his trouser was down. Lizbeth was on a gown with nothin underneath.

No pant anywhere. She pulled up her gown while Cole kept digging from the bag and she continued to scream.

They had cloths so that ones they hear the sound of Florence car, Cole can quickly pull up his trouser, Lizbeth will pull down her gown and they will pretend like nothing happened.

“Scream baby scream… I’m enjoying it. Scream louder for me…baby…

Cole was saying as he kept on with his performance.

Lizbeth kept screaming loudly.

Florence stood with her hand covering her mouth, her eyes pooped out in shock.

The sight she was seeing was not only disgusting but unbelievable.

It looks like a nightmare but the reality stare at her as both Cole and Lizbeth were backing her.

Florence legs shakes uncontrollable, she felt a sudden cold all over.

Can today be any better, this will definitely be the worst day of her life.

Cole’s phone was lying carelessly on the ground beside where she stood.

Florence picked it and put it inside her bag after switching it off.

She brought out her phone and took a picture of them, switched off her phone and put it inside her hand bag before throwing under the cushion.

Lizbeth scream was too loud for them to hear anything.

Florence scoffed. “This is unbelievable… God”

She whispered. Florence was frozen, she couldn’t move from where she stood watching.

It was as if Cole felt somebody’s presence and turned.

There stood his darling wife watching them in shock.

Her legs were shaking and her eyes pooped out from it’s socket.

Lizbeth who didn’t know what was going on kept screaming even as Cole pulled back.

He pulled up his trouser, Florence kept staring without moving.

Lizbeth wondered why Cole stopped all of a sudden, she turned and met her own shock.

She was panting hard, like she ran a marathon.

Cole was equally panting like a dog released from it’s leash.

Lizbeth covered up her gown as she bent her head in shame.

Was this the angelic Lizbeth or a she devil. A pretender and manipulator who she told every of her plans.

So Lizbeth was the strange lady that infected Cole with a disease.

Who could have known or think Lizbeth was “Lizba”.

The house has suddenly gone so quiet if not for the hard breathing of both Cole and Lizbeth.

Florence was speechless. She tries all she can to remain calm and play cool but the more she stare at them the more she wants to kill them both.

The tumblers that usually hang on the dining were down, the cups were arranged somewhere close to a cushion where she stood.

Lizbeth will arrange them back ones they were done with their deeds.

Florence who had been struggling to stay calm and think of how to react grabbed one of the cups and threw it at Coleman.

He dodged it and the glass cup smashed on the ground.

She saw a very small bread knife by the table, it was also part of the things they removed from the dining table.

She grabbed it.

Coleman knew what she was about to do, he held her as she tries to stab Lizbeth on the arm.

As Cole tries to pull her away from Lizbeth she stabbed him on the thigh.

Florence pulled it out again and tries to stab him again but he held her hand tight, preventing her.

She felt power she never hard before came upon

She pushed him away and he fell to the floor.

The blood from the small knife stab was running down his trouser.

Florence dragged Lizbeth by the hair, she hit her head severally on the wall.

Lizbeth was screaming for help this time.

She was shouting

” Please don’t kill me, my baby…my baby…”

One of her hand was on her stomach.

Cole came to Lizbeth’s rescue.

“Don’t hurt her, she is pregnant…

Florence blinked severally, she let go of Lizbeth and face Cole.

“Pregnant??. Lizbeth is pregnant…with who’s baby? Who is she pregnant for…?

Cole mumbled something. Florence asked again.

He stutter a bit before finally saying.

“Mine… Lizbeth is carrying my child. For real this time… she is already a month. Please don’t hurt her Florence… carry your grievances on me. Let Lizbeth go… for the sake of the baby she carried…

Florence looked from Cole to her supposed angelic Lizbeth.

Saliva dried up from her mouth, she became speechless, strength left her body.

She opened her mouth but no word came out.

Maybe is better to kill herself and die for everyone to be happy, there was nothing to live for again.

Absolutely nothing to hope on.

She couldn’t find the small bread knife she used earlier.

Florence rushed to the kitchen, Cole followed but kept a distance.

He thought she wanted to stab him again so he tries to avoid her.

Florence grabbed one of the sharp kitchen knife and dig into her body without a second thought.

Cole screamed out and rushed to her as she staggered and fell down with the knife buried inside her.

He grabbed her but she was loosing alot of blood and her eyes where closing up.

He searched for his phone to call an ambulance but couldn’t find it.

He asked Lizbeth for hers but she was taking forever to bring it.

The security came in, Cole shouted that he should call an ambulance.

Dominic quickly did.

Florence eyes were getting blurred as she lay in the pool of her own blood.

The noise was fainting off, Cole was running up and down shouting “where’s is my phone”

Somebody lifted her from the ground, but it was too late as the noise finally fade off.

She was clouded in a total thick darkness. As life begin to leave her body.

Maybe only death will give her the peace she desired for long.

Her death will equally make everyone happy, they will move on fast and she will never be missed.

Death was the only solution because she was tired of living in misery. Life have not been favorable.

She was done.

Florence watched as the thick scary darkness swallowed her up.

BEING MRS SPENCE Episode 29 by Amah’s Heart

“…. she… just died. I.. don’t..

He was stuttering why replying Susan.

Susan laughed sarcastically before saying.

“Coleman you are a joker, big time joker…What do you mean she just died? What nonsense are you vomiting from your mouth to my ear? Is my sister a plant that will stay like that and die. I don’t understand you Coleman… what did you say happened to Florence… what did you do to her this time?

Susan said angrily

Cole breathed deeply. His heart was racing. He never imagined that it will get to this. Why will Florence kill herself, why will she do this.

Susan interrupted his thought.

“…Mr Man, what did you do to my only sister? Where is Florence… what happened to her? You are an imbecile if you drive all the way down here to make joke with Florence’s life…

“I’m not making any joke Susan. Florence came back from an outing yesterday evening, she was angry over something and ran straight to the kitchen, took a knife and stab herself and before I could rush her to the hospital she has already loosed so much blood. She couldn’t make it… she died this morning in the hospital…

Susan walked around like a crazy person while laughing sarcastically.

“,Is not my sister that died, no…it cannot be Florence. Coleman you can’t succeed in Killing her…no you can’t. She was angry over what? This your story doesn’t add up. You better be praying hard that nothing bad should happen to Florence otherwise your days on this earth is numbered. I will kill you and go to jail with my full chest. Don’t dare me Coleman. Nothing should happen to Florence .. nothing should happen to her. God… God… don’t let this to be true… don’t do this to Florence. Please… God forbids it that the man she married finally sent her to an early grave. No…no.

She asked of the hospital address and Cole gave it to her.

He was afraid to return back to the hospital.

He drove back home.

Lizbeth was chewing a leg of chicken lap while watching the television when Coleman came in.

He was angry that Lizbeth has appetite to eat despite what happened.

“… have you forgotten that I’m pregnant. I can’t skip food because I’m eating for two…

“Nobody is asking you to skip food but Florence is dead. Be sensitive because is not joke…my wife is dead. Florence died this morning… don’t you get it. I’m not in my right mind. I killed her…we both killed her. I can’t deal with myself…I can’t…

He sat hard on the chair with his head bent.

Yesterday at the hospital the doctor had checked Florence and said that she was brought in late. She was as good as dead. Her blood was almost drained off.

This morning he was afraid of the news the doctor will tell him but he listened anyway.

“… like I said yesterday, she loosed 70percent of blood and that’s a blacklist for survival and 15percent out of the remaining 30 clothed together. Only 15pecent is active and they’re gradually clothing up. I don’t know but she has a very tiny chance to life which I doubt if she will make out of today. I’m sorry Mr Spence but I have no hope to give you, your wife may not make it. miracle can still happen but in a medical terms we don’t bank on miracles. But miracle is exactly what she needs to survive.

Cole has waited as the medical terms carried out surgery in removing the knife that was buried inside her body.

He waited, pacing up and down.

A doctor came out of the emergency room, just a look at the doctor’s face he knew Florence was gone.

The doctor shakes his head sadly and walked pass him without a word.

He knew then that Florence was dead.

He drove straight down to tell Susan. He knew it won’t go down well but he has to tell her.

And here he was thinking of how life will be without Florence and how he caused her death.

Lizbeth stopped eating. She moved closer to Cole and said.

“Is a lie… you’re just pulling my leg right? Mrs Spence is alive? Please don’t tell me she died… she is alive right?

“Get out of my side, do you think I will make jokes with something as this? Florence died this morning…I saw it myself. The doctor said it loud and clear…I…I… don’t know what to do now. I never wanted her to die.

Lizbeth paused and stared at Cole. After sometime she took a bite from her chicken meat followed with another bite.

She was chewing loudly as she continued eating.

Cole looked up at her.

“How can you still be eating even after I told you about the death of Florence, that’s very insensitive of you Lizbeth, even the chicken you are eating is Florence money, she deserves some quiet time at least. Even if you don’t really like her but please show some respect… she does not deserve to die… not now. We killed her… hope you know that…

Lizbeth interrupted.

“I don’t know what you are talking about Mr Spence. What do you mean we killed her? Mrs Spence killed herself… she stabbed herself to death. I have no hand in it and you have no hand in it. She chosed to die and I can’t stop living because of her. My few moment of silent was enough. Live goes on… she is not the first person to died. Many people have died before her.

Cole looked at her surprised.

“Lizbeth…are you human at all? Why will you say such. We indirectly killed Florence. If she haven’t caught us in a deep intimate compromising position she would have still be alive…

Lizbeth began chewing on the bone of the chicken. She smiled and said

“This chicken is juicy, even the bone too. Look at all the calcium inside the bone…I can’t allow it to waste. Cole… I’m going to be calling you Cole from now onwards because we have a thing going on and you are the father of my unborn baby. Mr Spence sounds like old fashion to me. I’m no more the maid in this house, I’m almost like Mrs Spence. The only difference is that is not legal yet. I satisfy you more than the late Mrs Spence has ever done all through her life time. Florence caught us having sex and so what? She would have go and cry her cry quietly then move on with her life or better still pack out of the house…same way she did during Marina time. but instead she started beating me and hitting my head on the wall. You asked her not to hurt me because of the baby, she became shocked that I was pregnant. Her womb is probably damaged and she can’t conceive maybe that’s why she felt bitter when you announced the pregnancy to her. The next thing she did was to run into the kitchen, grab a knife and dive into her body. She practically killed herself. Stop pointing her death to me or even to yourself…she chosed to die and I can only bid her farewell… that’s all. Life goes on for the living…

They were still talking. Susan kicked the door open. She came in with some police men.

“Arrest him, arrest her… arrest every human in this compound. They will rot in hell if they don’t provide my sister.

The meat dropped in Lizbeth hand. She ran to Cole crying that they should leave her because she is pregnant.

“Who are you pregnant for? Susan barked at her.

Lizbeth became afraid with the kind of fire she saw in Susan’s eyes.

She was stuttering and couldn’t say.

“… cat caught your tongue right? You can’t talk again. You will give birth to a premature baby in prison after several torture. You all messed with the wrong person and I won’t spare any of you. I will see to it that you all rot in jail…

Cole was arguing that he has no hand in Florence death.

The three police men that came, while two where searching the house and gathering evidence that was already tampered with, one put a handcuff on both Cole and Lizbeth, they whisked them away.

Even Dominic the gate man wasn’t left out in the arrest.

The police found Florence bag under the cushion.

They opened it, checked what was inside before taking it away.

They sealed up the house, put it under crime scene and still under investigation.

Lizbeth was crying loudly in the police van as they drove off.

************

She looked back and it was almost grabbing her, she was tired from running. The horrified looking darkness in form of a monster won’t give up chasing her.

She kept panting hard as she ran with the little strength left in her.

Her body has several bruises, some of her wound was almost decaying. She was tasty and hungry yet she couldn’t give up.

She saw a golden gate, so beautiful with high fences. There was a man standing inside the gate.

Finally there is Hope of a rescue for her. She was relieved as she ran towards the gate.

She kept hitting on it.

“Open up please… monster of the dark is after me. Please open let me in. I’m tired, tasty and hungry. I need help… please open. The monster is almost getting to me…

“No, this is not a place for people like you… only for those without blemish or spot. Go back and wash yourself that you may become clean. Return back after then, just at the approved time and the gate will automatically open for you. The master warned against people like you… return back my lady and do as I instructed…

She was panting and angry at the same time.

“Didn’t you hear any of what I just said? There is a horrible monster destroying lives and properties…he is after me. I have been running from it yet I can’t get away from it. I’m hungry, tasty and tired… Please let me in. Be merciful and don’t turn me away. There is no place to go back to… nothing to go back to. If you leave me out here I will be engulfed, swallowed up totally by the monster of darkness… please save me.

The man didn’t reply

“… okay, if you can’t open the gate can you atleast give me water to quench my taste or even some food? Please…

She saw the scary darkness traveling towards her with speed.

… please… open. Look, the evil is coming…I can’t keep up like this. Please save me, don’t send me away. I’m begging you in the name of God… please. Don’t let this evil thing consumes me. Have mercy on me I’m helpless… have mercy. Don’t do this to me… I’m ready to do whatever you ask of me…open the gate for me. I want to come in… look…look is here already. Jesus…

She cried out loudly as the darkness was almost getting to her.

She picked race, this time her legs couldn’t carry her but she kept running.

She was weak, she fell down many times while running.

She was crying as tears poured down. She was barefooted, sweat covered her body. her cloths torn, her wound stinks badly. Her legs couldn’t carry her. Her throat was patched with taste.

She was tired, she’s can’t continue.

She was going to die anyway and the monster will feed on her flesh.

Is better to surrender now, no better time than now.

She stumbled and fell, tries to get up but couldn’t. She remained still on the ground.

She shut her eyes and began to mutter the name of Jesus severally.

“I can’t do this God… I’m tired. Help me… help me. I don’t want to be consumed neither can I keep up with the race. I’m tired… I’m weak… help me… please…I need your help.

She kept muttering silently to herself and just then a light appear from a far distance. It was like a single spot star that Sparks brightly.

A man was beside the light, urging her to get up. She saw his golden face that shone brightly with the light.

Her eyes was closing up. She was tired of everything and death was close by, her strength has failed her. Maybe death was the solution.

She surrendered herself for the monster to feast on.

But the more she focused on the light she felt energised. Her strength was renewed but the moment she takes off her eyes and looked at the scary darkness she became very weak.

The man with the shining light kept urging her forward but her fear was greater than her Faith.

She looked back at the darkness that swims heavily towards her.

She was too weak to scream as the monster begin to swallow her up.

She realized that their were others too being swallowed by the same monster.

They were shouting and screaming as they fall to their damnation.

She was too tired to shout.

She couldn’t shout, her throat closed up. Her breathing suddenly ceased. the deeper she falls the closer she was to everlasting doomed.

When all hope was gone, a strong hand grabbed her, the hand began to pull her out gently and carefully.

It kept pulling despite how the evil monster was equally pulling down at her from under ground.

This stronger arm didn’t let go, she hanged onto him tight as he pulled.

Several other scary hands kept pulling her to the darkest doomed but she found herself going up as the strong arm pulls.

She was pulled out of the ocean of darkness.

The monster made a grumbling angry echoing noise that sent fear all over her before it disappears.

She looked up at the man that just saved her, he was same man with a shining light.

Her weakness has left her, she can see clearly and energised too.

She remembered other people falling to their doom and quickly told the man to also help and save them.

“They never asked for my help. You called out to me to help you and I answered your call. I only rescue those who wholeheartedly seeks for my help. Follow me, let’s go…

She couldn’t remember asking for the strange man’s help. She was too tired and can’t remember everything she said.

She only remember calling the name of Jesus. Praying to God to rescue her and just then the light and the man appeared before she was consumed by the monster but his strong arm rescued her.

She followed him and they walked past the beautiful gate with high fences.

“This is so beautiful, I stopped here for help but was turned away. I wish I can get inside and see the great beauty inside…

She whispered to herself but she was shocked when the man leading her replied.

“Because is not yet time and your records of earthly deeds need to be straightened. Is weak and rough and not fully qualified to enter the golden gate of life. Please follow me…

She followed quietly behind.

He led her out of the monster gate, filled with thick darkness and that’s where she fell into before the monster began to pursue her.

He led her out to a straight road.

“Keep going from here. Don’t be afraid… I’m always with you Florence. straighten what’s made weak. Align your ways and fight the good fight for your Faith. Forgive the pain you suffered and all those involved. Be a mirror for other weak souls to find strength. Don’t put out your light of kindness…let it shine even brighter. Go…

She realized then that not only did the man knows her name, her stinky wound was healed, her thorn cloths was changed to something better. She was barefooted before now she has a fine footwear on her feet.

She was renewed and a heavy burden lifted off her heart.

She looked up to thank the Man and realized that he was gone, disappeared.

He was nowhere to be found.

She awaken from her deep sleep.

Open her eyes and saw her sister Susan.

Sitting with her head relaxed back on a chair beside her bed. Her eyes were closed,

Probably sleeping, she looks like she haven’t slept for days.

Florence tried to stretch out her hand to touch her and found out that she had tubes stuck into her body preventing her from moving.

Her body felt numb. She wondered how long she has been here.

Just then something began to beeped loudly beside her.

Doctor rushed in, Susan woke up.

“She is back. Oh wow… she is fully back. This is beyond medical explanation. It can only be a miracle. She is back and her heart beat is normal. Wow…wow..!”

The doctor exclaimed loudly as he checked her.

Susan began to touch her, she began to scream loudly, she grabbed her hand calling her name. She was overwhelmed with happiness.

Florence wondered how long she has been in the hospital and why is she even here.

“Hey Suzy… what’s going on.. how long have I been sleeping.

Florence asked confused

“Three weeks and some days… you have been in a coma. God… Flo, I thought I had loosed you. Oh God… Thank you…. thank you…

Susan suddenly began to weep.

“…let me go and inform Max, he is out in his car and haven’t gone home for two days now. He has also been footing the expensive bills here . Max is an angel…he has not stopped praying for you. He was here earlier to check up before going back to his car. I will run and tell him that you’ve finally woken up…

She ran out and just then everything begin to come back like a flash.

She remembered how it happened, everything.

she took her hand down to her stomach where she stabbed herself, there was a big bulped up pipe stucked there. She felt a little sensation but there was no pain.

Florence thought of the monster, the scary darkness the beautiful golden gate the man with the shining light.

She shut herself and whispered

“Thank you God for another chance to life. grateful I will always be to you alone who owns life itself. thank you… thank you..

She continued saying her thanks with a true heart filled with Thanksgiving.
