Chapter 3 - LURKING IN THE SHADOWS

Year 1568

6:54pm:

"Gabriella you can't do this, think of your family" Micheal held her hand stopping her. "Micheal haven't you had enough!" She removed his hand with force. "I lost my only child to the luck god and yet another would still have to die" she cleaned the tears coming up. "I know but that was the sacrifice to be paid for this sphere's safety, think about it!" He spoke in subtle way trying to convince her. "Then how many more who paid for this sacrifice if something isn't done, don't try to stop me" she walked out of the room.

Gabriella kept on trying to get the message to the town square; everyone had to find out the truth. With which energy added, the more she felt a presence around her. It felt has though she was being chased by something in the shadows but she kept on running. "Enough of all this bloodshed" she screamed as she ran some more. The chase didn't stop as the presence continued, at that point she became so worried.

Suddenly it was though a hand grab her by the neck and pulled her into the shadows.

Present day:

I became a shadow of myself, to others everything was alright but not to me. I had lost an important part of my existence to the hands of mere tradition. Can a boy go against a god?

Can a man boy stop a wanted injustice?

I saw kids praying with expensive toys and I wondered whether they are also growing up to one day die in the arms of the luck god.

I wiped off the tears from my face, it is either I stop this nonsense or I leave the sphere. One way or another there is no going back!

••••••••••••

I walked into the town's library and everyone was doing what they knew how to do best. I went looking for answers and at least I should get one. I scanned the book shelves hoping to get something to lead me on at least. There were books on sports, family, government, religion and so much. When it came to the books of history, the shelf was empty. It was at the far end of the library and looking closely it had been like that for a very long time. "Excuse me sir, can I help you" I was greeted by that popular librarian "Mrs Susan"

••••••••••••

I sent a flashy smile to her at least to avoid suspicion. 'i ask again, can I help you" she spoke this time more harshly. "Well I am looking for some history books" I gesticulated with my hand. I could notice her sudden frown which she changed almost immediately. "Well sir, all you need to know about our Sphere's history can be gotten at the legal house" why does it look like she was hiding something?

"Alright no problem, thank you very much" i looked back as I could see what looked like a door. "Sir you can take your leave" she insisted so much. I went back to the section where others are, why cant they see something wrong. I know if Rita was still alive, she would see it to.

•••••••••••••••

"Keep and eye on that kid, he might be a problem" Mrs Susan spoke to something lurking in the shadows

•••••••••••••

I could tell something was up, suddenly everything felt strange. The same road I passed when I was a child became knew to me. I am day dreaming?

"Continue don't stop" I heard that voice in my head but no one was around. I looked back and forth but saw everyone doing their things.

I could still hear her talking and I knew I was getting crazy, I walked in haste as I could see people looking at me. This time I best go back home to avoid embarrassment.

I walked back to my home passing through houses and businesses. I then got to the road leading to the end of the spheres. A road that leads to the worst place in the spheres, it is like a prison a cage or worst than that, hell.

The poor, rejected and so much more were kept in the far end of the spheres were junk is dumped. People who live there are those who are said to have been rejected by the luck god. Rumor have it that there were once rich but disobey the luck god so he made them like that.

So we live in full obedience to him, at the expense of our love ones. I clench my fist as a tear drop left my eyes to bless the ground.

So Rita is all for his pleasure... To make him happy.
