Chapter 7 - The messages

Lorance was driving his car, when a message popped up on his phone, he put his car on brake, he was alone on the highway.

He looked at his phone, it was 10:15 pm.

He opened his phone and he saw a message from his wife,

'how long will it take for you to get here honey?' she had typed.

Lorance took a glance at it and decided not to type anything so that way his arrival would be like a surprise to her.

He was a handsome man with a triangular face build.

His eyes were brown and so were his hairs.

He was wearing his usual coat as he drove in his suv.

The air conditioner was right on the mark.

The cold air breezing onto his face.

He was certainly enjoying his drive alone.

He drived for sometime when he got another notification.

Again like before, he stopped to see the notification.

It was a message.

He thought his wife had probably asked him when he was arriving again.

She was prone to being impatient after all.

He clicked on the message and he lost his damn mind.

It was a photo, of him.

An unknown number.

The photo was of him naked, with a lot of bite marks all over him.

Blood dripping out of them.

An amputation on his right hand.

But he had never seen this amputation before.

He glanced at both his hands to be extra sure.

He had no recollection of such a memory either.

He rolled his eyes thinking he must be seeing things cause of lack of sleep.

He rechecked again.

The image was still there.

He locked his phone and reopened it.

The image was still there.

He did not really understand what had happened when another message opened up on his phone.

This time if was a different number.

This time too it was the same as the last time.

Another image of him being in a tortured state.

He had no recollection of it either.

This time it was limbs cleanly removed, all 4 of them.

Lying in his own blood with wrapped bandages on his naked body.

He felt even more uneasy.

He was horrified with what he saw.

Suddenly a footage came,

It was of him being tortured.

A man dressed in a white tank top and shorts with a mask that looked like the face of the devil, came out.

He looked at a tied man with brown hairs and eyes and triangular face.

He looked at him and gave out a laugh.

The man looked terrified.

The man with the mask took out a bottle from his pocket, it was full of a white liquid.

He grabbed the man's nose and pressed it.

He opened his mouth while resisting.

Then suddenly the masked person opened the bottle and disposed off whatever was inside into the man that looked like Lorance.

Suddenly Lorance snapped, he started laughing and that's when it happened.

A scissor like object suddenly cut away Lorance's finger away.

On seeing that both the Lorance gave out an intense loud scream.

The one in the torture scene screamed in agony while the one with the message on his phone screamed with fear.

Suddenly a new message came on Lorance's phone,

It read :

'when it hits 12 am, you will die...'

Lorance had already seen enough craziness.

Suddenly he heard a knock on his car's door.

He got scared and kicked started his car.

Running on full speed towards his home.

Suddenly he heard a notification, and then another one and then a spamming of 1000s of them at a quick, very quick pace.

He quickly picked his phone up.

He opened up the window.

And threw away his phone.

He felt relieved when he heard another notification.

This time it came from the backseat.

He looked back as he drove and saw his phone there.

'But I Threw It Away' he screamed while panicking.

Then suddenly the messages stopped coming.

Lorance stopped his car and picked up his phone.

He opened it up.

He was still in shock, distress and a lot of fear.

As he saw the time, his heart sank.

It was written 00:00.

The next day, his wife asked the police to find him.

They found his car. When they opened it up for a closer inspection.

They found something they couldn't comprehend.

All sorts of weird body parts.

Torn limbs, A torn torso, A long string of intestinal rope, and everything else.

It was all scattered everywhere all around the car.

As for the phone,

The phone was missing...
