Shivers 2

The Creature From The Void

In the autumnal gloom of an eternally cursed year, a devout servant of the Lord, Father Francis, found himself summoned to the solitude of the holy St. Agatha's Convent. A missive, filled with desperate pleas for his exalted intervention, painted a tale of a young nun possessed by an entity of questionable origin. The abbess, in her wisdom, hoped for salvation from this haunting malady and offered prayers for Father Francis' success.

Upon his arrival, Father Francis was struck by the unsettling quietude. The usually bustling convent appeared abandoned, shrouded in a miasma of intangible dread that seemed to have extinguished the light of faith from within the convent's stone walls. No hymns filled the air, no bells tolled, and the silence was broken only by the whispered laments of the wind. The convent's spiritual inhabitants were all bound by an affliction of unseen horror.

In the chapel's dismal sanctuary, Father Francis encountered Sister Elizabeth, the supposed vessel of the otherworldly force. The nun, pale as bone, sat quietly, her eyes reflecting an abyss that swallowed any semblance of humanity within them.

The good Father approached her, cross clutched firmly in his hand. "In the name of the Holy Trinity, I command thee, unclean spirit. Reveal your true nature!" he demanded, his voice echoing in the spectral silence.

A cruel smile graced her lips as she opened her eyes. They were not the eyes of Sister Elizabeth anymore, but two churning galaxies, an unfathomable vastness of cosmic horror. "Francis," she began, her voice resonating with a depth that seemed to reverberate from the ends of the universe, "You know me not, but I have known you. I have traced the course of your life since your first cry as an infant, and I know when you shall breathe your last."

Shudders of terror traversed his spine as she recounted his past with eerie precision, illuminating the shadowed corners of his life. Father Francis reeled from her words, his faith wavering. But when she boldly claimed her ability to obliterate any soul with a mere thought, he found the resolve to stand firm.

Determined, he brandished his holy relic. "In the name of God, I cast you out!" he roared, courage blazing in his eyes.

A chilling laughter filled the room. She closed her eyes, and with a single wink of her left, a cacophony of screams resounded through the convent's halls. Dashed out of his trance, Father Francis rushed towards the sound, leaving behind the possessed nun.

To his abject horror, the nuns, his beloved sisters in faith, lay sprawled in grotesque displays, their heads ruptured in grotesque spectacle. The silence that followed was deafening, a testimony to a massacre that he failed to prevent.

Enraged, Father Francis returned to Sister Elizabeth. Seizing a ceremonial knife from the altar, he plunged it into her heart, putting an end to the possessed vessel. But as he withdrew the blade, a ghastly sight unfolded.

Tentacles erupted from the nun's mouth, dark as sin, writhing and grasping for the horrified priest. They wrapped around him, drawing him towards the nun's gaping maw. As they consumed him, the nun's body contorted and transformed, revealing a horror of cosmic proportions - an abomination birthed in the black gulfs beyond the stars.

The convent, once a haven of spiritual respite, was reduced to a charnel house, consumed by an alien terror beyond mortal comprehension. The cosmic entity, satisfied, retreated into the shadows of the old convent waiting for its next victim.
