A Nightmare Or A Grim Reaper In Darkness

Rating: 5.0


Here, I was sitting on the bench
here, I was thinking and passing my life
Suddenly, I heard footsteps from that direction
Where the lamppost was not working
I thought to myself maybe that's what I need a person to talk
He was wearing a hooded black leather jacket
He said with a greeting "how do you do? "
I said in return "I' m just fine.How do you do? "
He said in a firm voice you look lost soul to me come to me take you to after life
I was stunned I thought he was insane
I asked him " Excuse me"
He warned me don't outsmart me I know what's a dead man
I asked him "who do you think you're? "
Hegrunted at me without any movement "how dare you ask me who the hell I am? "
I asked him again" what's your name, mate? "
He said "I have been known by many names in different ages and one of them mate "
he said on "I'm Tuag, Mrityu, maran, dood, tod, surm, mortem, morto, mortem, and your biblical"
He stood up suddenly lifted up in the air suddenly in the air he got bursted up
Instead of blood there was ashes…
After bursting into ashes reformed itself
I was scared and astonished to see a familiar face from the bible from the story and from movies come forward to me in a skeletal figure wrapped in black cloak which floated like it's in a water with a hood
I came down on earth like some fallen angel
Now he had a scythe on a hand
Now I can see his face it was skull but in black fungus
he said "like it is being decomposed
"So, Jonathan Banner let us take you to after life
He took a position with hi large skull marked scythe silently in a grimly voice
He was singing like a prayer " thy my Grim Reaper harvest the crop of life in earthly realm farm where your child could pass to after life by the order of the omnipotent one."
Before he could touch my skin with scythe I just lost my conscious
When I woke up I thought to myself "phew! what a nightmare"
I stood up with my bag but then again my heart pumped up he was right next to saying " forgive me, my child
I don't know how did this happened to you, my child
Enjoy your day".
He walked to shut off lamppost when I could see him no more it lighted up
I thought to myself "Woah! "
What a day?
Was that my imagination or my night with grim reaper
