    In a graveyard where the dead were buried; funny noises came forth. Such as the ringing of bells and the jingling of anklets, like the laughing voices of wicked beings to the crying of a baby and suddenly these things began to show vividly starting from the bells to the anklets, to the horrible faces, to the horrible laughing voices, to the cry of the babies and then all the sounds echoes together as the humans dance round a fire. One of them came forward with a knife. The knife was used to cut the novel of the baby. Blood splashed and the horrified cerealo woke up with great fright and intense shouting. He looks around scared. He looks to the walls and  sees a clown. He became more scared. The clown advanced towards him but before anything could happen cerealo ran for his dear life.

It was dark in his house. He couldn't see where he was going clearly but he had no other choice if he wanted to stay alive. The clown wasn't pleased about this. He gave a loud monster cry. Immediately cerealo heard this he hid himself behind a wall. The clown ran outside from nowhere. Only it's footsteps could be heard. The clown sped past where cerealo was hiding. The footsteps lasted for sometime and then it faded. Cerealo was relieved. He moves back and leans on a door which opened. He fell down immediately after seeing what was beyond his eyes. He touched his belly and felt pains. He had been bleeding from the side of his belly.
  The human in front of him with a scary mask seems not to be moving. He kept looking at a direction. Cerealo decided to seize the opportunity. He headed for the closest sink and washed his face. He leans back to the wall and looked at the direction of the scary man with the mask but he was gone. Cerealo breathed heavily. He moved into the medicine store just close to the sink. He puts some medicines on his wounds. He plastered the place after he was done. He headed out of the medicine store back to the sink and washed his face again. Lo and behold, the scary mask man appeared behind him. Cerealo saw his reflection from the mirror. Cerealo turned around to face the demon like a statue but when he did, the scary mask man wasn't there. He looked at the mirror but there was no one reflected. Cerealo became suddenly pressed. He went to ease himself. On his way out he met face to face with the scary mask man.

Cerealo fricked out. He couldn't breath properly. He started moving backwards as the scary mask man moved forward towards him. Cerealo leaned on the toilet's door which opened and made him fall to the ground. The scary mask man stopped and laughed for a little while. Cerealo kept moving backwards still on the ground. The scary mask man stopped laughing and then ran towards where cerealo was in a haste. He was so near to cerealo that cerealo could hear him breathe. He could see those dark eyes  and could feel the scary mask man's hand on the wall close to his head.

   Cerealo was far above frightened. He was shaking physically. The scary mask man brought out a knife and raised it up but stopped. He withdrew from cerealo and stood up saying something and dancing to an unknown song. Suddenly the noises returned and all the voices display in unison. Cerealo couldn't bear the noise. He closed his eyes and saw something like a name written somewhere but it was too vivid to read. He opened his eyes and shut them again. This time he could see the name clearly. He opened his eyes again and found out the noise has stopped. The scary mask man drew cerealo's legs. He opened cerealo's shirt and unplastered his wounds. Cerealo screamed in fright . The scary mask man was about to cut off cerealo's novel when cerealo finally mustered up the courage to say the words he saw when he closed his eyes. The scary mask lifted up the knife to cut cerealo's novel. At mid-landing of the knife on his novel, cerealo shouted "LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS JOKER". The scary mask man screamed in shock. He ran away immediately he heard those words. He kept screaming like a reptile until he was heard no more. But suddenly more scary mask men showed up all around cerealo. Cerealo couldn't help but scream.

And as he screamed the lights returned, the scary mask men gone, cerealo returned to his bed, his plastered wounds healed, the medicine store arranged; Everything looked good as light destroys darkness....Light destroys darkness
