Monster Of Darkness

Help Me

"She is mine ... she has surrendered herself to me ... she has become mine ... so why are you intervening??????”

He placed his pointed finger on her chest. Maria felt as if someone had ripped her off with a sharp instrument.

"She belongs to Astroot ... she is just for Astroot ... understood ... she is mine ..."

He was driving madly. A fountain of blood gushed from her chest. She was running, screaming for help, there was an ominous sound in the air. She screamed and her eyes opened.

She was lying on the sofa in the room. Her whole body was drenched in sweat. She got up quickly and took a deep breath.

There was Nile on the front bed. The ticking of the machine echoed throughout.

"So it was just a dream."

She thought, stood up and peeked out the window. At the far end of the corridor, the ugly beast was watching her.

He was in the office when his phone rang.

"Dad Calling" He closed the lid of the laptop and put the phone to his ear.

"How are you Isaac???”

"I'm fine, Dad! How are you?" He saw the time and got up

"Your mother was asking you again and again. Go home this weekend."

"This weekend will be difficult. I have planned a birthday party for Sofia." They were silent for a while.

"Are you still stuck in it?"

"Come on, Dad, she's my wife."

"Isaac she ..."

"Please dad!" He said sternly.

"If you're calling to do all this talk, I'm going to hang up." On the other hand, there was silence for a while.

"I'm sorry to see you like this, my child."

"I'm fine Dad!" He said with certainty.

"No. You're not well. You're still in the same trauma. Come on dude. Move on. Listen. Go on in life ..." He did not want to listen and hung up.

He was dying. Drop by drop ... bit by bit..... Daily... Every moment, every day.

Between his death and his life he was just a Ventilator. It was pulling the strings of his life. And soon it was going to be over.

"It's the hospital's policy, Mrs. Neil! We can't afford to have a patient on a ventilator for so long. Our doctors aren't optimistic about that. We have to turn off the ventilator." Hearing this, her heart had reached the throat.

"How is it possible? This is a murder, Doctor ..."

"No ... it's a pity. Make his death easy, my child." She shook her head violently.

"Absolutely not ... Absolutely not ... I will never let that happen." They looked at her carefully.

"We can no longer provide you with this facility. Then you can get a private ventilator. It will have to be paid on daily basis."

“I’m ready "

"Think about it, Mrs. Neil." It will be very expensive and I don't know how long..."

"I'm ready ... I'll pay ..." She was not ready to give up. His nails were starting to break. The hair on his head had fallen out to a great extent. Hia skin was drying and cracking. Scaly lips and eyelids cool body ... Maybe they were all right. He was becoming a living corpse.

۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

He had just returned from lunch break. Dad's words were still running through his mind. All the same things they have been doing since that day.

His mind was drowning in the past.

The day she was sick. Her chemo was on but nothing was happening. Her health was deteriorating day by day. The circles covered the eyes. The blood was black. He always saw death in front of his eyes. Isaac was busy caring for everything. She was scared all the time. She kept crying and begging him to save her.

If everything was in his hands then how could he let her live in this pain. If health is in our hands then why any of our loved ones should be separated from us.

He was sleeping in his bedroom that night. The weather was bad. A great storm was coming.

The cloud.... Electricity ... The wind the rain.....

When he opened his eyes at night, the room was dark. He turned around and saw that Sofia was not in the room. She used to walk to the washroom with his help. He got up quickly. She was not in the washroom.

"Sofia? Where are you?" The power was off.

It was dark below. He quickly turned on the flashlight and came downstairs. The front door was open. The curtain was fluttering in the wind and the rain had soaked the first part of the corridor.

“Sofia.” He hurried out. Then the lightning flashed loudly and he saw the lightning touch the ground. That dry tree had burned to the ground. The clouds thundered loudly.

Under the sky in front, Sofia raised both hands in the air, not knowing what she was talking about. Her wrists were bleeding. The ground below had turned red by blood.

"Sofia ..."

Then he saw her fall to the ground in full height. He appeared like a black monster and leaned over Sofia. Isaac tried to run towards her but then his foot slipped and he slipped on the inner stairs. His head hit the ground and the scene in front of him began to blur.

The lightning flashed again.

The last thing he saw before closing his eyes was the monster that was leaving Sofia. She was lying on the ground unscathed. Then his phone rang and he returned.

"Sir ... a girl has come to see you. She is saying you need to see Urgent."

۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

It was half past midnight when she felt very hungry.

"It's late in the morning right now. I'll see if the cafe is open ..." She thought and put on her coat. She took one look at Nile and came out slowly. She was paying for his Ventilator on a daily basis. Her savings were slowly running out. After that, where else would she get the money that was the question mark?

The cafe was closed but a*****e was open. She returned with a packet of chips and a soft drink. She was just in the corner of the corridor when she saw the same animal. It was outside Neil's room. Then she heard that loud voice as if someone was crying loudly. She hurried to the room. Seeing this, the long-necked animal moved towards her and opened its ugly mouth. It had long, tooth-like teeth. She screamed and handed him a tin of soft drink. He sighed and tried to move towards her again but she had entered so late.

Neil was awake.

That black monster was riding on his chest. He raised his left arm and thrust his sharp finger into his chest. He was bleeding.

"Get rid of ... whatever you are ... leave my husband behind ... go ..."

She tossed the tool tray on the side table and started screaming for help. He looked at her with red eyes and grabbed her arm.

"He is mine. He has surrendered. He has no purpose in this world." Her wrist was cut in several places and she was bleeding profusely. She was still screaming for help.

۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

Isaac saw her coming in. She was Maria with red swollen eyes. She had a bandage on her left arm.

"Look, Miss! I've told you I can't help you. You are my own and my ..." Before he could finish, she folded her arms and began to cry.

"He will kill him. He has become the enemy of his life. Please help me. Tell me something you know about him. I know you have seen him too. Your wife…"

"I know nothing" He spoke quickly.

"You are lying" He was silent. She hurried forward and leaned on the sofa.

"Your wife is dead but my husband is still alive. She can't come back but he's still here. Help me save him." Isaac looked at her angrily. How could she say such a thing about Sofia?
