GRANDMOTHER’S BOX Episode 8 – Elisha Kehinde Fagbemi
I didn’t believe what I saw.
I rubbed my eyes again to clarify what I saw, and it was indeed Grandma’s head. Her eyes was shut tight and there was dark blo•od on her neck.
I fell back in fears and I started screaming, fidgeting and kicking my hands in the air.
Seeing how scared I was after seeing the content of the box, my brothers ran towards the box to check out what it was. Immediately they realised that it was Grandma’s head, they fain•ted at the same time, falling on each other simultaneously.
That scared me the more because I was now the only conscious human being in the building now.
Seeing Grandma’s head in the box suggested so many s•cary things that made me wet my pant. The person that welcomed us might not be Grandma afterall. It might be some powerful human or spirit who took her form to lure us into the house.
On realising that my brothers has fa•inted, I tried to faint to, but it wasn’t just coming. I wanted to hi•t my head with the hammer but I was scared of the pain. I might even die from the hammer’s impact if I try to hit my head with it.
I stood up from the floor with the speed of fart and I ran towards my brother’s side. I started kicking and shouting their names, hoping that they’ll wake up before any spirit will appear.
I was still kicking them when I recollected what Jimmy said about seeing a girl. That sca•red me the more and I put more effort in kicking them.
They didn’t even budge or move a single inch. I ran into the bathroom and grabbed two buckets of water.
I poured the first one on them, and it was only Justin that woke up. Jimmy woke up after I poured the second bucket on him.
“Bring the bag. Let’s break down this door”, Justin screamed as if he got powered when he fainted.
I grabbed the bag and threw it at him. We started banging the door very hard with everything we had.
Fortunately for us, the h•it didn’t backfire, so we kept on hitting and banging till our hands got weak.
Even though our hand has gotten weak, we kept on banging.
We were still banging the door when we a voice interrupted us.
“Do you think you can escape. No one has ever escaped from domain”, the voice said.
When we turned, we were surprised to see a little girl that was about the age of our sister, Judith. Her beauty was exceptionally deadly.
Immediately she appeared in the room, the heads in the boxes started chorusing, “The mistress is here!!”.
“Your parenst gave me this same look when I was about to ki•ll them”, the girl said whilst laughing hysterically.
Immediately she said this, the whole room started tumbling and things started falling into each other. “Eat them”, the girl commanded the head that was in the boxes and they all flew out of the box at the same time.
It was at this exact same time that the door behind us clicked open.
Justin was the first person that noticed it.
He opened it and the three of us rushed in as fast as we could, jamming the door hard behind us. Before we could enter, Jimmy grabbed a book I couldn’t decipher.
Justin locked the door behind us and we started mumbling a word of thanks to God under our breath.
“Jesussssss”, Jimmy screamed as soon we settled our b•utt on the ground.
Justin was about to enquire the reason why he shouted from him when he saw it ourselves.
The new room we entered was full of boxes, many boxes that was probably more than hundred.
GRANDMOTHER’S BOX Episode 9
We couldn’t believe what our eyes saw. The boxes was indeed more than hundred and they were stacked upon each other in tens and twenties. There was no where else to run to now, and our only option was to either open the door we used earlier and go back to the former room where the little girl is, or we should just stay in the room and hope that the boxes don’t move. Justin and Jimmy were already shivering and clashing their teeth in fe•ar. I wasn’t left out, my pants was already wet with hot urine. I became cold and white with fe•ar when I recollected how she commanded the heads of our family to fly and atta•ck us. “Are they going to do the same to us. Are they going to eat us up. I hope they didn’t hear her commands”, I whispered and prayed in my mind. I gave up on escaping and I sat down dejectedly on the floor, waiting for the boxes to move and probably ki•ll us all. Immediately my bu•tt touched the ground, my sight fell on the book Jimmy grabbed earlier. The book turned out to be a bible. A glim of hope appeared on my face immediately I saw the bible. “Maybe it can actually help us to escape”, I whispered to myself. “They are moving. They are moving”, Jimmy screamed. “Open the door”, I said while picking the bible up. “What do you mean?. You mean, we should actually go back to that girl”, Justin countered me. “We can use this. I hope God saves us”, I whispered slowly while flashing the bible across their faces. We opened the door and the two of them held tightly onto me. I held the bible into the air and we started walking slowly out of the room. For the first few minutes, nothing happened. Thanks to bible that I was holding on to. The girl didn’t appear, nor did we see any heads. We started tracing our way back to the living room, and that was where I tripped and fell. I fell hard and flat on the ground, then my brother followed suit, falling lavishly on the ground. During the course of our fall, I lost my grip and the bible that was shielding us fell out of my hand. The whole place went into abrupt darkness immediately the bible left my hand and I felt the strong presence of the girl. She started laughing hysterically at our situation, saying that we’ve lost the only thing that could make us evade her torment and torture. The whole place was absolutely dark and I couldn’t see anything. I started searching frantically for the bible immediately she said that. I couldn’t locate the bible, nor could I locate my brothers. The only thing I could hear was just the faint cries of my brothers, calling my name for help, and the hysterical mean laugh of the little girl. It seemed like the momentary darkness put a billion space between the bible, my brothers and me. I was still whirling frantically on the ground, in search of the bible when a thick liquid splattered on my face. I freaked out immediately the liquid touched my face, and without finding, neither the bible, nor my brothers, I stood up and started running. “Wait for us, Julius””, the faint voice of my brothers called after me as I run. Their voices made me assumed that they were behind me, and that made me slow down my pace. “Wait for us, wait for us”, their voices said as they got closer. I stopped and they eventually got to where I was. “Why did you fall”, Justin’s voice asked me accusingly immediately they got to me. “It wasn’t intentiona………”, I was still answering me when the light surprisingly got restored, illuminating the whole place. And that was when I saw my brothers. I realised that I was talking to only heads. The bodies of my brother has gone and it was only their heads that was calling after me. The little girl has murd•ered my brothers in the dark•ness, leaving me alone to face the ev•il inside the house.
