"The Qualm"

One day, Stephen came to the house of a spirit medium. He knocked on the door three times and then, the door opened. Stephen saw a bald short man.

“What can we do for you?” the man asked.

“I’m here to see Madam Vanessa. Is she here?” Stephen said.

“Come inside and follow me.” the man replied.

Stephen and the small man walk towards a room that resembles to a library. He saw an old woman sitting in a chair near a wooden round table.

“Madam, someone needs your help.” the man approach the old lady. The woman looked to Stephen.

“Thank you Yam for bringing him here. You can go.” The woman said and the bald man went away.

“As for you young man, sit in that chair” the woman pointed.

“Now that you’re comfortably sited, what’s your name and what do you want?” the woman asked.

“I need your help, Madam. My name is Stephen. My friend recommended going to this place to solve my problem.” Stephen said.

“I want you to tell me what’s been bothering you, young man.” the Madam requested.

“Well, for the past few nights, I’ve been experiencing these series of weird dreams. My first dream was about me running without any pants and underwear. I was naked. I felt so embarrassed. Everyone was looking at me. I tried to get some pants but it always disappears. My second dream was in my own room while I was asleep and lying on my bed, I felt a strong wave of wind going to my skin. I felt like I was burning and then, all of a sudden, I saw white flames all over me, I can feel the burn but not the pain and my current dream was about a man that I look alike and he smiled at me and hit me with his hands.” Stephen said.

“I’m a spirit medium, young man and I don’t interpret dreams but I can help you if you think that you’re dreams are signs or warnings about something. I’m guessing you’re not telling me the whole story. Did you have any conflict with a dead person or spirit?” Madam Vanessa asked and then, Stephen immediately nodded.

“Give me your hand.” Madam Vanessa ordered. Madam Vanessa saw random images of gunshots, burning house, screaming and crying woman and an evil grin of a man. Then, she let go of his hand and she was surprised on what she saw Stephen looked at her and then suddenly, a series of cold wind arrived at the room. Stephen became scared and when he looked at Madam Vanessa, she was already possessed.

“Naya, are you there?” Stephen asked.

“My brother, why did you call me? Does your conscience haunt you now?” the possessed Madam replied.

“Look, I’m here to ask for your forgiveness, Naya. Please stop this!” Stephen pleaded.

“Stop? I will not stop, Stephen. You still remember the night you kill me. I pleaded for my life but you pulled the trigger and you left me burn inside my house so no one will think I was murdered!” Naya answered.

“I love you and you know that! I love you more than a sister and you love me too. You want to spend your life with me but repressed your feelings! How could you?” Stephen replied.

“I stopped loving you because it’s not right! It’s incest! So, when I broke up with you, you decided to kill me!” Naya answered.

“That’s the only way. If you can’t be mine, no one deserves you.” Stephen said.

“Don’t worry; you’ll spend the rest of your eternity with me!” Naya said.

After a few hours, Madam Vanessa woke up and he notice Stephen was gone until she notices a drop of blood from the ceiling. She looked above and she saw Stephen hanged himself up while blood was running from his eyes wide open. Madam Vanessa started screaming with fright.

“Where am I?” Stephen asked and he was surprised when Naya’s arms were wrapped around his shoulders. He noticed that white flames were surrounding them.

“You said you love me right? Now, you’ll join me as we together burn for the rest of our lives here in hell! Naya said.

Stephen tried to scream but Naya kissed him and the white flames started to crawl to their bodies and eating them alive FOREVER.
