THE SCHOOL GHOST
Episode 4
Written by remi the writer
St Anthony high school buzzed with pandemonium screams.
Teachers sprinted, their footsteps echoing like a desperate symphony.
Amaka lay motionless on the cold floor, her skin mottled with ven0mous bites.
The ambulance wailed outside, its urgency a stark contrast to the eerie silence that enveloped the classroom.
As the paramedics rushed in, they expected to find the snake the girls had described to the school authority.
The dreadful creature, but there was no serpent. Only the aftermath of its cruelty etched into Amaka’s flesh.
Richards bag was back to his seating position, appearing untouched, it’s almost as if the bag had teleported itself back to Richards desk.
Esther and adanna exchanged puzzled glances at each other.
Mrs. Alice, her face ashen, knelt beside Amaka along with other teachers. “How can this be?” she whispered. “Where is the snake?”
The other teachers gathered, their disbelief palpable.
They had scoured every nook, every crevice of the school. Yet, no serpent had revealed itself.
The bites defied logic an invisible assailant, a phantom predator.
The nearly deceased friend, Esther and adanna stood at the threshold, along with other students.
It was such a terrible view, such sight could make the strongest man’s heart to melt .
Esther was boiling in anger, her eyes were wide, her grief raw.
“He must have known we were trying to frame him” Esther whispered into adanna’s ears with the anticipation of mild sobs.
Richard sat in the corner, his gaze fixed on the dy!ng amaka.
He took his bag during the scene, then crossed it over his chest, nothing seems to harm him.
Esther sprinted to meet richard, her voice ablazed. “You killed her,” she accused, her words slicing through the air. “You summoned that snake.”
Richard’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”.
“You’re ev!l ” Esther voice cracked.
“You’ve always been different, because of you my best friend is dead.”
The classroom seemed to hold its breath. Students peeked through the door, their faces pale.
They had witnessed the tragedy of Amaka bitten by an unseen menace, the teachers were confused seeing Esther accusing richard of being a wizard.
“He must have summon the snake ” Esther sobs along with adanna.
The students argument was interrupted by the rescue team, raising Mrs Alice’s cell phone from above the air.
Mrs Alice widening her countenance.
“how did my cell phone gets transported itself to amaka’s pockets? unbelievable”.
During the tumult, Richards eyes glowed an otherworldly luminescence aimed at Esther.
The strange lights from his eyes consumed her irises, Esther staggered, her vision begins to fade.
Darkness crept from the edges, devouring her sight.
“What’s happening?” Esther’s voice tremble.
The teachers watched, witnessed a supernatural phenomenon reckoning on Esther’s sight.
