Chereads / Macabre Morgue / Chapter 8 - The Truth

Chapter 8 - The Truth

Jack opened his eyes. He saw that he was sleeping on a bed. When he got up, he saw tools, a white blanket on him, and he is on a white bed. He then realised that he was full of gypsum board; but not totally filled with it. He then finally realised that he is in a hospital as a client. "What am I doing here?! What happened to me?" Asked Jack loudly enough for someone outside the room to hear it. When he remembered the last scene in his dream; the strange road-like roof, and the strange big rock and how familiar they were, he said: "ohh, I remember..." Before he went with his thoughts, the door of the room suddenly opened, but gently.

"At last you woke up?! How are you?" Asked the woman on the door. Jack was unable to answer, and she realised that. "I will go say to Sir right now. Wait here please. Don't move till I return." Said the woman. Just as she closed the door, a film of memories came to Jack's eyes.

He was in that road. He went there to meet his family, and Dan and Mark were there as they were his policemen friends. The big rock was there, and they were all there, even his father. The scene was like this: he was getting out of the car and going to his family to talk about something. He couldn't remember this particular thing, but he could remember that it was important. "What now Jack? What do you want?" Said Dad finally. "This can't happen dad. I will never agree on this." Said Jack. "Don't talk to dad like that!" said Lily. "Lily, you could see that he is angry now. let us just leave them with their talk." said Emma to Lily. "This will happen Jack, doesn't matter if you agree or not." said Jack's father. "You are getting me angry. I can't stand this at all!!" Said Jack. "Then go away!!" Said Lily, angrily. "Shut the fuck up!! It is non of your business!!" Said Jack. "Well Jack, if you can't behave yourself, then leave and I don't want to see you here again!!" Said Jack's father. Suddenly, Jack got angrier and held his gun and shot his dad. The whole place went silent...

"What.... What the hell have you done?!!!" Asked Lily. Suddenly Jack realised what he has done and lowered his arm that held the gun. "YOU KILLED DAD!! WHAT THE HELL?!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!!!" said Lily in great shock and anger. Jack got more aggressive and didn't bear her talk, so he shot her too. "Shut... up..." Said Jack. He then shot the other people in the place and they all went dead in the same sequence as they were dead in the morgue: Thomas, Mark, Dan, Lily, and Emma. "I don't want anyone with me... I want to be alone.. forever...." He said. His hand that held the gun felt loose, and the gun fell on the ground. "SHIT!!! WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE?!!" He said. He then went totally out of mind and went to the big rock. He held it up by great force that he never thought he will have. He then went partially under it, and suddenly his hands went loose again, and the rock crushed some of his body parts; he went unconscious...

After sometime, the police came as some people heard the gun shots and called them. When they saw what happened, they were all confused, and when they saw Jack under the rock, they got more and more confused. Suddenly, a police man felt a movement in Jack's body. "He is alive!! HE IS ALIVE!! ANYONE CALL THE AMBULANCE NOW!!!!" Said the police man. After sometime, Jack was in his room between death and life...

"Now I remember everything..." Said Jack, while crying. He didn't talk for 20 seconds or so, and then he completed in a very low voice. "I must end this up... I must kill him... I must kill Toby as he killed my family... I must kill him as he killed Jack.. I must kill him..."

"Sir!! The client finally woke up. Jack woke up!!" Said the nurse. "Are you dumb?!! How do you leave him?!! He might do anything!" Answered the doctor, and went running to Jack's room. When he reached there, he saw that it was opened. "O.. my... God... You must be kidding me!!" Said the doctor. "I said to you that something will happen." He continued. "Where will he be now?" Said the nurse. "I don't know but.... Wait a minute.. Go to the roof!!!" Answered the doctor, and went to the stairs door and up to the roof. The nurse followed. "Why do you think he will be in the roof?!" Asked the nurse while they were going on their way. "Simple. He is in great depression since the last day before this. He was crying while he was unconscious, and depression means suicide, as he is said to have mental illness." Answered the doctor. He waited for 10 seconds to take his breath before saying: "for him, there is no better place to commit suicide except the roof. He doesn't know about the knives or these things. We must go faster and reach him before he does it."

The roof door opened, and at the edge of the roof in front of it stood Jack. "Stop Jack!! Nothing deserves your death!!" Said the doctor, hoping that Jack would listen to him. "No, there is: to kill your whole family; just 'cause you are angry..."

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

The End
