Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit...a dark side.
Poor graduate student Edward is feeling I bit sorry for himself as dispite all his hard work in the archaeological department in trying to prove that ancient Egyptian curses were real and not myth he was mocked and booed by his fellow students and even the tutor thought it was some sort of wind up and cordially gave him a fail in his oral exam.
As Edward is sitting in his room slowly getting more bitter and angry about his treatment by his fellow collage students so his paranoid thought s in his head tell him why not show his fellow students how the curse of the Egyptian mummies is very real.
So he drives in his car to a local storage unit were in Lot 249,he places the key inside the lock then slowly opens the door,switches on the light,the fluorescence bulb flick ers on and off for a few seconds then kick s out its full light to reveal a large crate in the corner.
He walks to the crate,jemmys open it with his crowbar,to reveal a six foot,heav y set mummified body wrapped in cotton strips of material from head to toe.
He then removed a parchment from its mouth and reads a series of Hieroglyphs-Hieroglyph, a character used in a system of pictorial writing, particularly that form used on ancient Egyptian monuments. Hieroglyphic symbols may represent the objects that they depict but usually stand for particular sounds or groups of sounds. Hieroglyph, meaning “sacred carving,” is a Greek translation of the Egyptian phrase “the god’s words,” which was used at the time of the early Greek contacts with Egypt to distinguish the older hieroglyphs from the handwriting of the day (demotic). Modern usage has extended the term to other writing systems, such as Hieroglyphic Hittite, Mayan hieroglyphs, and early Cretan.
So Edward read it aloud saying the words it was to seek revenge for all at the archaeological department tonight and tomorrow morning if be his time to gloat And inside his head be laughing At their misfortune.
But nothing happened,the mummified corpse just stayed in its crate like an inanimate object it was,he tried again but still the same result he even tried A third time for luck,but nothing happened At this point he swore and cursed he had been conned by that Egyptian archaeologists assistant he found online,what A waste of A thousand pounds,so he throws the crow bar into the storage room floor,slams the shutters making them make A loud tinny noise,walked back to his car,drive back to the college,went his room and gets blind drunk and passes out.
Inside lot 249 something is stirring and beginning to make a groaning noise its arms and legs move with a stiffness:it walks out of its crate the mummy is Alive and it must obey its
orders given by its caster of the parchments words last spoken so many centuries ago by the priest that casted this curse upon him who was once a guard to the pharaoh until he fell in love with the pharaoh s daughter and was bewitched into trying to take over his masters place at his daughter stay request her she pursued the priests that it was in whom bewitched her so I was sentenced to death and placed a curse on to do as I was ordered .
During that night unearthly screaming was heard although the archaeological department dome students rooms .
Finally the mummy opened
the room to Edward room and walked over to his bed and it then plunged a knife straight through his heart, at this point a puff of smoke emerged and the mummy was back in his crate in its state of being between the realm of the living and the dead knowing it had done as requested.
The dark side is always there, waiting for us to enter — waiting to enter us. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.
