GEORGE'S FIRST NIGHTMARE.
George is playing PlayStation today. And this is the last game he is about to play. He has completed all the other 4 games since he got that PlayStation console.
But he can't concentrate today. In fact, for the past few days, he hadn't been able to concentrate since he found the body in the small box.
So there is something familiar about her face. But Cousin Jacob said it was just a Halloween decoration. If it was just a Halloween decoration, why did it stink like that?
When I opened the lid!'
George thinks.
And then he tries to continue with the game. But every three to five minutes he thinks about that box with body in it again. And lose concentration.
'so there is something familiar about her face!'
He thinks repeatedly.
Later in the evening. Is he still thinking about that box. Also while he is brushing his teeth. Then he raises his toothbrush in the air and swings it and at the same time tries to say that there is something familiar about her face... But he almost only mumbles, because of the toothpaste foaming in his mouth
: Wwwhhhoaa wwwhhhoaa whhhoa cough cough c....!
Then he comes to cough. When he tried to say the words. And splatter toothpaste foam on the mirror.
: Ahhh of course now I have to wash the mirror!
He says out loud, getting annoyed.
And then he lies in bed and at the same time yawns and slowly tries to say the last time
: yawn, so there's something.. yawn... about her face...! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Then he falls asleep and starts snoring.
The first nightmare...
George is standing in the garage, sweating.
Everything he sees is colored black and white.
Then junk falls from above the box,
so the box becomes more visible.
: It's just a Halloween decoration tio tio tio tio tio...!
Says someone from behind. And ended the words with quick echo like words.
Then George turns. And see cousin Jacob.
Jacob turns his head from side to side very quickly. So fast that you can barely see the details of the face! And the details almost make lines when the head turns side to side.
that's how fast it goes when the head turns side to side...
: Help me...
I need it…
It hurts...
It's like getting a violent electrick shock without it...
I need help...
Says cousin Jacob. And he looks like someone who gets cramps in several places in the body in a sequence...
George tries to say something. Then it dawns on him that no words can come out of his mouth.
Then he panics and tries to say something even more, but in vain.
: You?
Need help?
You put me in this box! And so
are you saying you need help!!!???
SHAME ON YOU!!!
Says a familiar female voice behind George. But she doesn't sound like she's in the garage, more like she's in another room next door with the door closed. But not quite...
Then George turns and sees the box move about 10 centimeters at a time. It's like someone is kicking the box from the opposite side, even though no one is kicking it.
Then the box stops moving. And then a woman screams, from inside the box.
: He did it to me...!
And then she whispers loudly
: REPORT HIM!!!
Then slowly the box begins to drip down with red liquid, where the box and box lid separate and the drip leaves a red line behind it.
The red liquid is very clear to see because everything else is black and white...
And then slowly the box lid opens, but the box does not open more than about a 3 centimeter gap. Then there are half-rotten fingers sticking out of the box and hold the lid. And you can see that the fingers are about to be mummified. And he can see the nail of the index finger hanging sideways and tilting. You'd think she was having a fight right before she died and she was using her nails as a weapon.
And the nail fell off, but not completely. That's why it hangs and tilts like that...
: I want to go out. Set me free. I can't rest in peace as long as I'm in here... Help me!
Then George wakes up and sits up and looks up and says
:SARA!!!
It was Sara who is inside the small box... Then George throws up. Now he can remember who it is.
He thought there was something familiar about her face and jacket.
'What do I do?'
Thinking George!
After George has been awake for many minutes and thinking. He decides to take a bus trip to Jacob later. And asks him that it was Sara who was inside the box and asks what happened to her.
Maybe there is a good explanation...
On the way to cousin Jacob in the bus. George can't stop thinking about the dream he had. The head turns side to side rapidly. Half mummified fingers with tilting nail. Especially the red liquid drop that runs down and makes a red line behind it.
: You have to report him..!
Says a woman's voice and it sounds exactly like Sara...
Then a half mummified hand waves in front of his face. And then a nice old lady's voice says.
: Young man! be a doll and move a little? I so want to sit here!
Then George wakes up from the daydream, and it dawns on him that it was just a nice old lady's wrinkled hand beckoning. And not half-mummified Sara's hand. Then he's heart relieved. So says
the lady once again
: Hello young man! The earth is calling! May I sit here?
: Yes! Of course sorry!
George says, and move to side.
Then the lady sits down and gives George a hard candy. And it's lemon flavored, George's favorite flavor.
Some older ladies can be so nice…
George thinks that the bus ride feels long. Longer than it usually takes. Although it is exactly the same route. But it's a long trip.
Normally, George wouldn't be able to figure out how to get a bus ride to Jacob's house.
But he has been able to do that even in the last 15-20 bus trips. Because that cousin Jacob and his contacts have taught him. With, to take with him when he has to visit his cousin Jacob.
They taught him so many times, almost every week and for several years in a row, that now he can take the bus to Jacob himself. One of the contact persons noticed that George starts pressing the stop button himself when they have to get off the bus.
After so many bus trips George has learned to remember where he is going. Almost by heart.
It also makes it easier for him because Jacob lives close to a very easily recognizable grocery store.
Every time George sees the grocery store. through the bus window, he knows that now is the time to get off the bus. Then he presses the stop button. Thanks to the easily recognizable grocery store., he knows when to get off the bus. it use to be one of the harder things for him to figure out on his own...
George looks out the bus window after a long trip.
And the hard candy is almost completely dissolved on the tongue.
Then he sees the grocery store and presses the stop button. And then he asks the nice old lady if he can just get up and pass her because he has to get off the bus. And then he says to the lady after he gets up
: Thanks for the candy. And have a good day!
: Well, what a friendly gentleman! Thank you and you too young man! Would you like another hard candy?
Saying and offering the nice old lady.
: Yes please, thank you!
He thanks.
Then he gets another hard candy. But it was an apple flavor this time. he wished it was another lemon-flavored one. And then he gets off the bus and starts walking to cousin Jacob's house.
At Jacob's house there is a strange woman with fine clothes. she's putting up a sign that says FOR SALE.
George was a little sad when he saw the sign. He has many memories from that house. And he will absolutely miss the game nights.
Then cousin Jacob comes out of the house and locks the front door and gives the keys to the lady. Jacob has had a plaster cast on his left arm. And the plaster bandage covers approximately half of the forearm to the entire thumb, he can easily use other 4 fingers, just not the thumb. He then looks and greets George. And try to introduce him to the strange lady. He tries to remember and say her last name by guessing it
: Hey George! My good friend! How are you? You must greet my cousin Miss Tuulan... Suelan... Duulan...!
: TREELANSMITH!!!
She shouted, getting irritated. But regrets it afterwards.
: Sorry for yelling. I've been stressed for the past few days!
She apologizes.
: It's all right!
Answer Jacob. And when he was going to, introduce George. Then her smartphone rings. And then she says
: Excuse me! I'm waiting for a very important call! I have to take this...
Then she answers the call and goes to another place where it is a little more private.
: What happened to your arm?
asks George.
: It's just a little accident at work!
Answer Jacob.
: Why is it right that you are moving? What about our game nights?
George asks skeptically. And get really upset about it.
: Now now don't be sad now! I'm just moving to another place so I live closer to work. That's it! But I'm on sick leave right now because I broke my thumb. And don't worry, we'll probably have a game night again as soon as the doctor takes the cast off!
Jacob explains. And at the same time comforting George and trying to be encouraging.
: Okay! And the little box with the lady in it, I found in the garage when we cleaned up! Was it Sarah?
George asks Jacob. Then Jacob touches George's back and pushes him a little with an insistent push and say
: Let's just go there!
Then they go to another place where it is even further away from the lady on the phone and where it is even more private. And Jacob explains discreetly
: Yes, it was Sara! There was an accident and she died! That's why she was in the box!
Then George is surprised and gets to swallow the apple flavored hard candy by accident. And then the lady interrupted, shouting
: I have to go, it's an emergency! Nice to meet you George!
She waves goodbye and gets into the car and drives off.
: Shouldn't Sara be buried like grandma?
asks George.
: No! No one must know! They'll lock me in jail if they find out! Don't tell anyone! Can you promise me that?
Jacob says with an insistent tone.
: But.....
George is about to say something, but Jacob interrupts
: Do you remember the movie we saw? Where it happened in prison?
: Yes!
Answer George.
And then Jacob asks
: Do you remember that poor man who was mistreated by other prisoners?
: Yes!
Answer George. And looks worried.
: This is how they will mistreat me in prison if you tell anyone! In fact they will mistreat me much much worse than that movie!
You don't want that! do you?
Jacob says and asks.
: No, of course not!
Answer George, looking even more worried.
: Promise me you won't tell anyone!
Jacob says in a dead serious tone.
: I promise!
Says George.
Then a car comes quickly and brakes in front of them. And two muscular men get out of the car and ask Jacob
: Well, are you ready to pay the rest?
: No! But I just put the house up for sale! It may take 3 to 7 days before it is sold!
Give me a few days! 10 days top!
Answer Jacob.
: Okay! You get 10 days! You better pay in 10 days! Otherwise, we will also take care your right thumb...
Says one of the two men, they get into the car and drive on.
: Who were they? They don't look so nice!
George asks and says.
: They are just some of my employees!
Answer Jacob.
: I have to go! I think your bus will come soon! Do you take the bus home yourself?
Jacob says and begins to sweat and scratches his body at the same time. And suddenly gets busy. He barely says goodbye to George as he leaves. You'd think he really needs to go to the bathroom.
Then they separate. And George takes the bus home and once again without thinking so much about how serious the situation is...
Poor George. He has to carry a huge burden to keep a big secret. And he can't solve the problem. Because if he has to solve that problem, then he has to report his dear cousin, that would ruined Jacob's life and he loses his freedom. George has to live with an unsolvable lie and will have to lie. to protect cousin Jacob. It's like trying to solve the problem the wrong way, one example is trying to remove a hole from the wall the wrong way. The more you remove something from the hole, the bigger the hole gets...
