TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE-THE CAT FROM HELL BY MARK ANTONY RAINES


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.

The dark side is always there, waiting for us to enter — waiting to enter us. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.

Halston was a bit confused when he received The call for his services as a Norman as The intended victim was a black cat but who was he to judge people's foolish behaviour And it was his usual £100000 Pounds fee.

Halston drives up to The mansion house of his new employer a Mr Drogan and knocks on the door to be greeted by his butler whom appeared to look down at him as if he was a bit of chewing gum on his shoe and he Leads him through to the main parlour room where he is greeted by Drogen a elderly man well dressed in a wheelchair who am a him to sit down And offers him a cigar.

 "I presume you may think it bizarre that I have asked for your services to dispatch with a mere black cat"says Drogan.

" Yeah it's a bit bizarre but work is work And your paying me to do it"says Halston.

 "Your see Mr Halston  I believe this black cat is a creature from help as it was seen at various terrible fatal accident s to m members of my pharmaceutical company from my sister,my closest friend,and recently my butler swears he keeps seeing this black cat everywhere he goes and it just states at him and let's out a disturbing meow,I believe I will then be next" says Drogan.

 "It does sound a bit paranoid And how do you know it The same black cat every time solely that's not possible but just give me a photo and I do my job and get my money And leave you to your comfortable life"says Halston.

Mr Drogan hands Halston a photo of a very cute looking jet black cat with green emerald eyes,no over defining marks,or even a simple collar,so Halston takes the photo And walks away telling  Mr  Drogan he will contact him when he has done his job.

Back at the apartment of Halston he again looks at the The black cat in the photo and decides to let it live and just wait a few days then say The deed has been done and collect a easy payday.

A few days pass,Halston gets to phone Mr Drogan to say he has done the hit and can be send the money to his Swiss bank account but he gets no reply which sparks his curiosity so he decides to go back to the mansion of Mr Drogan and demand his payment as he had a reputation to keep.

As he approach s the mansion door he realised that the door was wide open,he enters not knowing what to experience,he finds no butler to look down At him so he walks towards the main room and opens the door to findhe finds that the cat has killed Halston by climbing down his throat. The cat emerges from the corpse  of Mr Drogan and jumps at Halston, giving him a fatal heart attack.

Exactly At the same time the pharmaceutical company owed by Mr Drogan burns down to the ground,this company was known by The animal anti cruelty league to have killed 5,000 cats while testing a new drug,leaving The scene of both events was a jet black cat with green emerald eyes with a grin that looked like he had done a cosmic revenge.

The jet black cat with green emerald eyes walks into the shadow and a hole opens up with leads back to the depths of hell.

Tales From The Darkside -Lot No. 249 by Mark Antony Raines

 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.



 


202O BY MARK ANTHONY RAINES

 2020 

This year has been the scariest I have ever encountered in my life as it has completely changed my outlook on life and at one point drove me to the verge of a paranoid thought s overload and made me realise how scary I get when the dragon inside me takes over. 

So I have had revaluable myself into thinking whom am I and what do I give to the world as I mentioned at my worst paranoid thought s in even felt for the frIst time in years suicidal and felt I was losing my identity I found the frist lock down the hardest as it gives me the sense of grief of losing the things I did not realise until much later meant at lot to me and not anyone else.

I  dread Coronavirus or Covid 19 as you don't know which version you will get and I remember the times my wife was told to expect the worst when I was in a coma due to a high sugar levels of 124 and other when my wife had possible sepies  and I was told to expect the worst both events affected both of us and it took along time to recover and I don't know if I have that fight in me anymore. 

It's getting hard to have Hope as everytime something comes along to challenge that thought process; is this the beginning of society breaking down ?the true Apocalypse? Or will history prove it's self again as the human race tends to a hardy one who knows not me

Wear a mask _wash your hands _social distance _open a window _
