A monster in the dark crawled out from the pit of a dark void named Malivor. The pit where damnation of souls gets sucked in with a thirst for hunting its victims. Now it's out to continue his work as it craves blood and soul.
Unleashing demonic creatures to collechistoricalic items to bring back lost monsters to conquer this petrified planet they call earth! A ritual tradition began placing a blood oath covenant.
“Master it is almost time; the world shall testify by your name and serve you without questioning.”
“Hmm…good. Get prepared as we search for the earthlings and kill them all! None should be speared, understood!”...
His name is the Nacromonster! Bringing back the dead to live. Raising his army of the dead to destroy and feast on us humans. He looks dead to the bone, having a fierce face of Bones and the smell of death oozing out from him.
The history of a horrific event of a family. In bustown road lived a family of four. A man in his 30's who lived a reckless life without ambition, a woman in her 30's who loves her two children dearly and makes effortless sacrifices, her daughter Jenny who is just 10 years of age, a playful and curious girl and her son Mark who is 15 years, an overprotective older brother.
They recently moved into an old house at beach bay. Entering the house wasn't all that welcoming as layers of webs filled up the house and a humid dust propelling in all directions. Cleaning up for the family was a huge task. They decided to split themselves into two.
Jeremy, her husband and Josey, his wife, take downstairs while Jenny and Mark take upstairs. The clean up takes up the entire day as they finally unpack and get settled down.
The kids share the same room as well as their parents.
Jeremy wasn't so understanding as he quarrelled endlessly with his wife in making family decisions. Even though Josey tried to adapt with his nonchalant behaviors. Nevertheless she still loved him.
The day breaks as Josey drives Jenny and Mark to school. Adapting to a change of environment wasn't so easy for them. Living their safety comfort to find themselves in a new and Unknown place I could only imagine.
The first week wasn't going well for their kids though they complained bitterly. Facing a lot of challenges caring for their kids was difficult for Josey. She decided to look for a job while her husband, as usual , doesn't make an effort. She never complained no matter how things were for her.
After 2 months of hunting down a job she finally gets one. She applied for a sectoral agent which involved solving mystery crimes. What kept her going was her passion for her work and her kids.
***
Josey wakes up in the morning and finds out that her husband wasn't in bed with her. She gets downstairs and calls out for him.
“Jeremy! Jeremy! Where could he have gone too?”She surged searching for him. She sees him lying completely drunk snoring his life out.
“Jeremy! Wake up! How long have you been here?” She asked, collecting the bottle of wine from his hand.
“Hm, what? Fuck off!” He said drunkenly getting up on his unbalanced feets.
I take him to our bedroom to lie down while I go down to prepare breakfast. I called out to the kids who were doing their assignments.
They hurry downstairs to eat. She took the remaining to her husband.
Later that night I hear a bottle of glass shattering downstairs. I turned on my touch light and got up from bed to know what had happened. Gently opening the door I walked slowly looking in a direction till I got downstairs. I found out it's a cat who had knocked one of our glass off the kitchen counter.
I decided to head upstairs but then I realized we had no cat. I ran downstairs again and didn't see the cat again. Shocked and confused, I cleaned off the broken glasses and trashed them. I saw a mirror kept careless on a chair, I picked it up and cleaned it off noticing it was dusty.
I took the mirror with me to my bedroom and kept it on a table close to our mirror. I decided to go straight to bed when I heard a knock. I immediately get up to check the door but don't see anyone there. I close the door again.
I heard a knock again and opened the door but still no one. I closed it again. The third time I heard a knock and what stood in front of me was a gruesome black Monster with claws and fiery eyes. It grabs me by my neck, suffocating me as I tired to breathe.
I reached out for a touch and quickly lit it up which made the monster diapers. Regaining consciousness. I couldn't sleep but waited patiently for the next day to tell my family we were leaving this house.
I see my kids happy and my husband well…still the same. It was time to break the news. I called everyone in the parlour and told them we were leaving. They didn't show any form of excitement but all they could say was “His him.” I didn't understand what they meant.
They kept repeating the same thing over and over again. That's when I realized that there was a problem. I noticed the same dark figure that I saw last night standing still beside them smiling.
My family was possessed? This can't be happening! I thought it only existed in movies but this wasn't any movie but a reality I didn't want to be true. I see my husband with a gun pointing straight at me, he shoots but misses.
He begins to Chase after me, I run on my heels trying to escape but get caught by his hand. Now I see myself tousled on the ground with his hands on my neck as I gasped for air. I tried to resist but his grip was too firm. A thought came up in my head and I knew it was the only way out. I saw a shattered piece of glass and pierced it straight into his chest.
I pushed him off and watched him gaps for his life till he died. Tears coursed down my eyes as I dropped down motionlessly looking at the pool of blood of my husband.
I hear a strange noise and follow it up to catch a glance of my two children playing with hammers. I run to stop them but get bridged off by the shadow monster. I begged endlessly pleading, crying on my knees.
I heard a smash and looked up to see my daughter's head cracked open like a wall nut. I immediately ran towards her as she mumbled with her words.
“I…love..y…” She tried saying as I watched her die in my arms. I wailed bitterly, staring at my daughter's lifeless body in my arms. I looked up and saw my son smiling happily with joy.
I got upset and launched at him trying to snap him out from this unholy spell. I held him down on the ground with both hands and began to pray. Immediately he tumbles and shakes coughing out a blood sucking leech which he had in him all along.
I Carry him in my arms and try to escape to leave with what's left of mine. The monster appeared with a sword trying to attack but luckily I got a mirror which reflected a light directing it straight at him.
He screeches and Burns up In flames. I jack the door open and run out with my son in my arms. Opening the door of the car I place him close to me and drive off immediately. I called out to him but he didn't respond.
“Mark! Mark! Wake up!” I yelled at him but nothing happened. I stopped halfway to the police station and brought out his lifeless body. I decided to make a cut on his skin but found out he had been drained out of blood by the leech.
I wiped bitterly and dug up a grave where I buried him. Covering his grave, I got a flower which I kept. Saying my final goodbye I drive off to a river, jumped inside and died drowning So I could be with my family once again rather than suffering in this miserable Planet earth.
With an unpleasant ending of a family it's just the beginning of the story. The monster has no bound when it wants to strike, it doesn't care how old you are or what problems you're in.
It only knows terro, death, destruction and it's something that is coming for us as we scatter and ran away trying to survive in this wilderness we call life.

Somewhere In an alternative universe…
8pm at dusk the winding swaying as petals of leaves fall recklessly In all directions. A sound of stomping feet runs aimlessly to my direction.
A Savage scream echoed wildly around the wood as I panicked and took off on my heels not minding the directions I took. My feeble legs couldn't keep up as my heart began beating uncontrollably! My eyes are failing as my vision gets distorted making me lose consciousness.
With the little strength I had left I gave a quick burst of energy but couldn't meet up with others. I tripped, making me lose my balance falling flat on my petrified face.
The screeching voice came closer but I couldn't move my body completely stiff as I awaited death itself lingering and smiling above me.
With a great slash off my skin I screamed in pain, each bit dung inside me like a thousand bullets hitting my veins. My discomfort no one would ever want to face as I battled for my life.
Covered completely in a pull of blood I get a version of the view of the savage monster that had hunted me down. Leaving me here to die.
Rain immediately began to pour down on me as I tried to raise my arms and my eyes directly gazing at the sky filled with thunderstorms and lightning.
I closed my eyes and I woke up in a black void. Getting up I searched my way looking for an exit root but came across none. I saw a wild fire dancing towards my direction as I quickly took off in my heels. It came with shooting arrows like a spear.
What got me baffled was the impenetrable cut I didn't feel. Scared, I asked myself. A…am I dead? Why can't I feel pain? No it can't be! I can't be?... dead? I taunted myself miserably.
I came closer to the wild yet burning fire placing my hand in it but didn't feel a single pain. Suddenly I see a body lying still, waiting for it to move. The body faced my opposite direction with the face not insight.
I decided to take a look and immediately flipped it over. To my unimaginable surprise the body was me! Me?! I staggered in awe looking so confused and deranged.
How is that possible? So it is true that I am really dead. I took a quick gulp down my throat as words couldn't just flee from my lips.
Oh what a tragedy to behold and of a Matter of fact am the one.
I cried silently falling down to the ground, feasting up my two hands and slamming both of them on the ground. I wailed like a crying baby looking for consolation from a mother. Ahhh…my voice ranged filled with bursts of outrage.
Suddenly I hear a malicious voice roaring which cuts my sobbing moment. Getting up I saw a demonic Shadow with eyes of fire gazing firmly on me. It feels like I communicate with the shadow. It came closer towards me as I took two steps backwards.
The scariest part was the fact that as it came closer it grew even bigger. I didn't know what to expect as I fell on my back fixing a firm gaze. A human heart was present in front of me with blood trickling down on my face.
What could this mean? Is it a sign of resurrection from the dead? All these questions rushed through my head. The Shadow shrieked in terror and gave me a heart.
“Take it and eat it if you dare or live here in idleness and fear!” It said as terro ran down my spine. Giving a gaze at the disgusted heart I take a look at it and gaze back at the shadow in my mist. With a gulp and sweat rolling down from my head to my chin, I close my eyes and begin to eat the petrified heart.
Gagging motionlessly I tried to throw up but I swallowed it all up till every bite was chewed and swallowed. Finally, I opened my eyes and saw a very sharp sword pointing straight to my heart.
The shadow announces “Very good my boy you have passed the first challenge. Time for the second challenge. I must warn you it is going to be a painful experience.” It said surveying my chest in all directions.
Curious to understand what he meant I felt a sharp pain in my chest and realized I had been stabbed through my heart. Looking down on the sword buried in my chest and gazing at the shadow I fall slowly in pain with blood running down from my mouth.
My eyes got wide open as I gasped struggling for air. I fall flat at my back looking up at the dark void. I turned slowly to the shadow still gazing at me with a smile. I say “why…drawing my last breath I died.”
***
Now I wake up to the same goddamn place where I had died recently by the monster. I get up to check my body. I see the cuts with blood all over my body. I begin to walk looking at a nearby river to clean myself up.
Getting a bit dizzy I remember flashbacks of what happened. My friends, people running for their life's. Killing and blood sucking. I was left behind and betrayed by them all. No one saved me, they all watched me get hurt and left without a single word.
This is a game of cheese , a game of who would win the throne. A game of the last surviving human on earth. No one is to be trusted. Die or live, the choices are Left for you to make. It can only be one who can win.
Bringing me to where we are now.
I hear screams once again. I hid immediately near a bush and scanned the area for any incident to occur. Immediately a liquid splashes on my face turning out to be blood. I get scared trying to escape but I stumble on the ground and facing me is a human head.
I screamed a bit but realized it's a danger zone. I clasped my two hands on my mouth stopping the remaining noise about venting out from my lips.
I get up and keep moving. Luckily I see a stream and walk over to take a drink and clean up myself. I begin to get hungry as I wander wild in search of food. To my dismay I couldn't find anything to eat.
I decided to sit at the stream soaking up my legs. Still hungry I feel my stomach grumbling out. What seemed to be unreal became more of a reality. I see a finger of a human washed drifting towards me. I pick it up and take a casual look before devouring it completely.
The taste of a human mmm…so good! Never thought we could taste so good. I began searching for body parts of human remains to feast on. Now filed up I rested waiting to find a way to escape this deadly forest.
My instincts tell me to move on but my body won't go on. I am too exhausted for what awaits. I decided to scan the area looking for some sort of clue to escape. I saw arrows flying in all directions as I took to my heels.
I got to the cave where I ran into doggeing the arrows just in time. I came out to take a look and what I saw baffled me. Cut off human parts were scattered all around. I should be disgusted by the sight of it but rather I became a cannibal.
I ate up everything in sight though I wasn't satisfied. I look for a shade where I hid for the night and begin this dangerous journey.
***
the next day…
The forest seems rather bright, pale and foggy. I rose up to take along my things with me. Walking down a path covered in what seemed to be in trails of blood. I stop bending down, put a finger in a puddle of blood and lick it off with my tongue.
I exhale and smile and lick off the remaining. I loved it so much! The taste alone is enchanting and I want more! I hear a scream towards my direction running out as a beautiful young lady probably in her 20's. She looked sexy with her ripped dress.
“Help! Please save me!” She screams running towards me.
“What's the matter? Who is chasing you?” I asked perfidiously, gazing at her sore eyes in dismay.
“H…him! He's coming for all of us! We have to run!” She said uncontrollably, scattering her hair with her hands.”
I hold her in my arms and hear the trembling noise coming towards us. The noise got louder and louder as high adrenaline rushed up my nerves wondering what it could be.
Thump! Thump! My heart kept racing…
“I kill! I will kill…till I'm satisfied! Blood will be my unquenchable joy!” The noise was aggressive with a range of revenge.
Now the plot was set for drama, The unbeaten thought of what could be a murderous event coming for us turning completely into a nightmare.
What awaits us no one knows…Things are beginning to get bloody. Are you ready for it? Be careful not to have nightmares!
I am the monster in the dark!...
I am him…
