Book of Spells, Part 5

 An aura of evil enshrined the building. The walls were covered with fine quality mosaics of demons doing vulgar things to each other. 

Miguel, the young guide looks on with a sense of dread. “Well, let’s get started”, says Riley. The guide stands in horror. “What’s wrong?”, asks Derek. “Scared of the monsters that lurk in the night?” The team laughs. “It’s just a stupid superstition. Hey, where’s Terry?”

“Miguel, you wait out here for Terry and set up the tents. Have the food ready for when we return. I’m going in. I’ll meet you back here by the time it gets dark” says Riley holding his machet

Inside, he finds a large empty corridor. Two large bowls stand along each end of what appears to be an altar. Riley grabs a flashlight and turns it on. Shining the beam over the sacrificial alter, he finds a spiral staircase leading underground.  Walking over, he drags the light over the steps.

 He stares deeply into the dark chasm as the light slowly pushes away the ancient darkness.

From the remaining cyst of darkness manifests a shadow slithering towards him followed by a loud hissing. Riley moves his light towards the object. It reveals a large black cobra.

Riley pulls out the pistol from his side holster. He shoots several times in the general direction of the snake.

"Now wait", says Noel. "Which one of us is Miguel and which one of us is Terry?" "Um" stuttered Jaison. "Miguel is a punk I use to work with. I haven't talked to him in years. And Tracy, well Tracy is Jerry".

Book of Spells, Part 7

Sam Davis, a young assistant of Riley's felt he deserved a longer break and stayed behind. Besides, he was young and in good health. He walked circles around the rest of the members.

Strange Dream

I was sleeping tonight when I had a dream where I was watching Netflix documentary about the ghosts caught on tape. It was a group of friends hanging out, doing drugs and video taping them doing a seance when a weird human entity filled the camera lens. The entity was a blurry image wearing blue jeans and a red shirt. Then the image came closer becoming apart of the group of friends and the camera goes black. The narrator in the background starts talking about Archons and I'm holy shit! still in my dream and so I go find my roommate and I'm like "dude, you gotta check this documentary film I found!" And he's like, "I've already seen it. It's pretty scary I guess". And that's the weird ass dream I had this morning. It gave me goosebumps but little more.
