"29" :: Chapter-3

The silhouettes began moving faster. Whenever a silhouette briefly illuminated under the street light, a momentary shimmer appeared on the faces of the unknown figures. As the mysterious figures drew closer, a weird kind of screeching laughter filled the air.

Fabrice looked at the other direction, trying to find an escape through the road that extended into the darkness. ( Where ? Where ? Where ? Too late ! ) The sound of the halting motor bikes were right behind him. Fabrice closed his eyes, too scared to look back, but he did and his breathing froze. He began running his eyes at what was before, the two half bent legs, the two eyes with a big eye in the center, the abnormal ears protruding out, two canines reaching all the way from their mouths to their pointed chins . There were three of them, excitedly jumping with their tails swinging violently behind them. One of them leaped forward and kept a metal structure down. He pressed it a little and moved back.

Fabrice moved back, he looked at the little girl but she didn't show the slightest sign of astonishment. The metal structure vibrated and changed form, it expanded turning into a big rectangular inlet. The motioning stilled and inside there appeared a huge roller with metal spikes. The rotation began with the roller letting out a shrill mechanical sound. A long metalic pathway extended, forming a chair in the end. One of the demonic figures turned back making Fabrice wondered what they were upto. Fabrice immediately felt the tail of the demon rolling around his leg and was jerked with a strong pull. It made him fall, he tried fighting the force but he couldn't. The three demons were continually laughing. Another tail lifted him and placed him on the chair, and the chains appeared, pushing in his ribcage.

The game had begun. The chair moved and so did the blade and the demons waited on the other side. The pace increased and the chair drew closer. Fabrice's hair flew due to the gush of air let out by the moving blade.

Maybe doom didn't wait for 29 hours , it was right here, right in front of Fabrice, ready to swallow him.
