Nightmares in Wawanakwa

Episode 2: Eva

Eva was dreaming…

Maybe it was just her. Maybe it was the fact that she was alone. Or, maybe it was HIM. The old man at the other side of the empty room.

Never had Eva seen an uglier visage. He was missing an eye, but the empty eye socket was open nice and wide. The other eye was as blue as a marble. In fact, it very much LOOKED like a marble. His hair was white, and it looked like foam that came from the mouth of a rabid dog. His face was wrinkled, and distorted somewhat. His skull was highly uneven, and rather deformed. He lacked a lower mandible. The skin that was supposed to make his shin was simply hanging from his mouth. His mouth was covered by a white plastic ball…

Eva was violent. Even she admitted it. But, this was the first person to EVER give her the urge to kill. Though she had considered extreme violence on other people before, she had never felt THIS urge before, the animalistic urge to end another life. A crowbar sat next to her…

The urge to kill was overwhelming her, now. NEVER had she felt this way. The crowbar looked so inviting, and the old man simply sat there. It was almost as if fate were taunting Eva. 'Kill him'- the thought came to her mind. Then, it was all she could think about. She picks up the crowbar. She was about to do the unthinkable.

She made her way to the old man. He stunk; he was not pleasant to be around with. She lifted the crowbar, and struck him in the head. She struck him again, and again, and again. Soon, the only thing left of the old man was a smear on the floor.

Eva was sweating now. Then, she saw the old man's head rise up from under the floor, and float in the air. He was looking at her, with a look that seemed to say "Why did you do that?"

Eva woke up in cold sweat that evening.
