《The Midnight Man》Chapter 7 - Punishment
Advertisement
Cindy was frozen, speechless. Her body trembled as she stood there, eyes wide. She knew she had to do something, but what could she say or do to fix this?
Thump, Thump, Thump!
Whoever was talking was now coming in Cindy's direction. Even though she desperately wanted to know who desired to kill everyone, she didn't want to risk her life by finding out. Cindy turned on her heels and sprinted back to her room silently as the footsteps grew closer. She ran inside without being seen and closed the door behind her.
"CINDY!" Keira yelled a little too loudly. Cindy was shocked when she saw that everyone else was awake. They looked worried and relieved to see her at the same time. Cindy realised she must have woken them up when she left.
"Shhhhh!" Everyone said in unison, but it was too late. They were about to find out the dark side behind the orphanage...
Suddenly, the door burst open. Cindy was shocked to see The Midnight Man standing in the doorway. Cindy's jaw dropped to the floor as her heart sank. It all made sense now; Mr Midnight is The Midnight Man's dad, the conversation, the killing and the evil side behind the orphanage. It was all him.
"What's going on in here?" The Midnight Man boomed. No one replied. "Get them!"
Suddenly, four people ran in and grabbed them. They were armed with guns, knives, pepper spray, bats and a taser! What happened here that they needed those weapons for? Cindy, May, Keira and Madison were dragged out into the hallway; They had a gun to their heads, so they didn't dare say a word.
"Now, how many of you know about my... plan?" The Midnight Man asked as he looked down at them. May, Madison, Keira and Cindy were all lined up in a single-file row, all on their knees. Four people were standing behind them, all pointing a gun at each of their heads. The Midnight Man paced back and forth as he awaited an answer.

"J-just m-me," Cindy stuttered, "I-I'm the only one that knows" The Midnight Man just looked at her, then back at the others.
"Is she telling the truth, or is she just sacrificing herself to be nice to you all?" He asked
"She's telling the truth," May said eventually. The Midnight Man smiled.
"Good," He said evilly, " I have the perfect punishment for you," The Midnight Man walked over to one of the guards and whispered something in their ear. Their face went pale as their eyes widened when The Midnight Man finished explaining something to them.
"B-but sir! That's just cruel! No human deserves to even witness something like that-"
"It either happens to you.. or him. Now do what I say!" The Midight Man barked. The guard, clearly terrified, nodded and walked to the fifth door on the right. He opened it and entered, returning a few minutes later with... Kirk.
"Now, Cindy, it's time for your punishment!" The Midnight Man laughed.

The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!
