《The Midnight Man》Chapter 12 - Sam
Advertisement
The Midnight Man slowly walked down the stairs and towards Sam, still locked in the cupboard. Poor Sam had been locked in there for hours with no light or phone. He had no sense of time, and it had been the purest silence since everyone ran upstairs. Sam could only hear the occasional scream, but that was it.
Sam was curled into a ball on the floor in the corner of the room, softly crying. "W-what h-have I done!?" Sam sobbed to himself.
The Midnight Man opened the door and stood in the doorway unnoticed by Sam for a few moments before he spoke.
"Well," he started, "You've caused your friend's death, haunted this house, cursed you and your family for generations to come and best of all, you summoned me to help!"
Sam's head snapped up as he realised what was happening. The Midnight Man had found him. "They're not dead!" Tears streamed from Sam's face.
"Oh, really? Why don't you see for yourself then." The Midnight Man stepped out of the doorway. He gestured to the dark room, waiting for Sam to investigate. Sam stood up but couldn't see much.
"I-I can't see," Sam said, shaking.
The Midnight Man clapped his hands as the small candle on the floor lit. "How about now?"
Sam picked up the little candle and held it tight.
"Go on, see for yourself." Sam walked past The Midnight Man and into the living room. He was hit with the foul smell of rusty, metallic blood and smoke.
SPLASH!
Sam looked down and saw a horrid mess of blood. He stepped back but bumped into The Midnight Man, towering above him. The Midnight Man pushed Sam. Sam could feel his body fall into a pool of his girlfriend's blood.

"Keep going! You'll regret it if you don't."
Sam scrambled quickly to his feet, soaked in Katrina's dark, wet blood. He followed the trail of blood until he saw his worst nightmare. Katrina was lying on the floor. She was surrounded by blood, glass and dry candle wax. Salty tears poured nonstop from his puffy red eyes as he kneeled beside his dead girlfriend. Shards of glass pierced his skin, but he didn't care.
CRUNCH!
The Midnight Man suddenly kicked Sam hard in the stomach, breaking a few of his ribs. "GET UP NOW!"
Sam did as the Midnight Man told. Clutching his stomach, he started shuffling toward the stairs in extreme pain. His broken body shook as his brain tried to process what was happening. His knees stung as blood slowly dripped out of the cuts.
"WALK PROPERLY!"
Sam took a few steps, but the pain was too much to handle. He collapsed on the staircase. He dropped his candle onto the floor and the boiling wax dripped out everywhere. The small flame was enough to start a fire, and soon Sam was surrounded by flames higher than he could have ever imagined.

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
