Struggle With The Ghost (my horror dream)



AFTER EXTENSION
   It was wednesday, and i went to Oil mill market in port Harcourt to get myself some hair extensions. As I walked past one old woman's "shed", a beautiful pack of hair attachments caught my eye. "Wow!" I thought." i just had to have them".
    Two days later, i had the extension attached to my hair. on Monday, I carried them to school. My friends loved them. After school, we were to stay for some extension classes in chemistry. We were supposed to spend an hour and 30minutes. But, it took a lot of time to explain this topic, "SALTS" We ended up closing very late (6:30pm). The friend I usually went home with had left earlier, so i ha to take a taxi home. It was so very late. I arrived at the lonely narrow path leading down to our street at about 8:30pm. It seemed I'd been caught in the traffic jam too long. I'd been out alone till this time. I started thinking about all the Nigerian horror movies I'd been watching during the holidays. I looked at the graves which were twice my height on both sides of the path. I had to get home quickly. I had to walk down the path, but i couldn't it was too dark and i was too scared. 'what if there were snakes with human heads in there', I though to myself "What if there are Evils men in there?". "What about.......like.......In the movies? I asked myself over and over again. "What about ghosts? I finally build up the courage and headed on. As i got half way, I heard my name twice, "ANTONIA,ANTONIA". I stopped..... My eyes. I turned left then right, No one. I went on, and heard the voice again "ANTONIA,ANTONIA". I was filled with fear. My heartbeat increased rapidly. I was ready to........my.........I felt a tap on my back. I turned and out of nowhere, a hot looking lady, not more than four feet tall, wearing a black tight and shapely dressed, appeared in front of me. She was beautiful. As I looked at her, I noticed two really odd things about her. First, she was bald. Secondly, she wasn't wearing any shoes. She smiled at me and said sharply, "I'm going to ask U nicely, give me back my hair". I was shocked. what on earth was she talking about?
    And before i would say "jack", her left hands was on my braids. She wrapped her fingers round a bundle of plaits. That was when i made one of the costliest mistakes ever. I pushed......that provoked her. She then slapped me, then ripped out the braids off my head with some parts of my real hair on some ends . I was ready to skin her alive, when she then held the ball of braids over her head, which the disappeared. Long straight hair began to grow out from the roots of her head. All i could do was watch.
    suddenly, i found myself waking up in my room. I had been dreaming. "I'm, so glad that it was all a dream", I told myself. It was then that I picked up a bedside mirror and discovered that i was bald.
The end.

Episode 1 "look up mattew and stop snivelling like a small monkey." There was anger in tom's voice. He was a rough boy with a clean-shaved head and his yellow coloured eyes,was like those of a snake. "we should go back now that nobody has seen us, "cried mattew. He was striken with fear. A fear that took the greater part of him and made his body shake. "just follow my instructions, don't waver. We'll go through this without a hitch. Now let have the torchlight," tom said and. And snatched the torch from mattew's hand. "we dont use the light, until we get into the compound," he added. The manner he spoke was grave and intimidating that matter was scared of making further argument. the night was cold and silence engulfed every where. The regular sounds of crickets, sizzled in the air. The two boys ran like jack rabbits, entering into the small garden that guided the principal's house. The house was in total darken…

TROUBLE-IN-SCHOOL (Episode 6)

Episode 6 "You should be held as a collaborator, if you withhold any information to the police. Think well, and don't say that Tom or Dick is your friend," the policeman said and paused. The mention of Tom sent jitters into Tom. Tom felt goose pimple all over him. However, on a second thought, he realised that the man was talking about Tom, dick and Harry, a common language meaning everybody. "If the school bus driver is here, let come him out, "the policeman ordered. There was a hum of dread among the students. In their minds, the mention of the driver was enough to condemn the man. The school driver was a mean looking man with a mouth like that of a mouse. He had a dark serious facet face which made him look like a wicked man. He walked out, fear written all over him. He was shaking like a leaf torn by the wind. "Come with us." the policeman hissed, watching the man shiverring like an epileptic. They dragged him violently inside the…
