Episode 16
SEMI FINAL
“This world is cruel” a last tear rolled down my cold face and i
breathed my last. Then felt my inner being, what is known as my
soul leave my already lifeless body. I stood helpless beside my
lifeless body crying uncontrollably and wanting to get back to my
body but all my efforts were to no avail, then i saw an old man
dressed in a white spotless robe with long grey beards, walk on
the air from the thick clouds in the sky towards my body and
used the staff on his hand to touch my body and the earth shook
where i laid, and soon my body fell in the deep dark depths of the
earth and that instant i noticed my surrounding changed, and i
was on top of a moving cloud with the old man on another.
“Where am i?” i asked startled.
“You are dead and you are already on your way to be judged. I
am Elesh a messenger and a transporter, more like a brother to
death and it’s my duty to transport you and others to the sacred
throne to be judged.” He said using his staff to draw a chain from
his cloud to mine, then taking a look at a beeping information on
his palm.
“There, goes another soul left with a minute before it becomes a
corpse, follow me now, come, let us go pick him up”
“I know am a good person and am not suppose to be dead.
Please, let me return back to my body” i pleaded.
“Shhh, be quiet” he said with a palm raised up, making my
tongue cling to its palete.
“A war is about to ensue, i feel it. Hahahaha, useless mortals with
fetish powers thinking they can go against the great Elesh” he said
with a wide grin and pointed his staff to the earth and we
decended to the earth, and started walking in the air to a big
mansion owned by a wealthy occultic man who had a few
seconds to breathe his last.
I saw the man’s four wifes and two children who were heirs to
his devilish wealth, seated and crying with relations and friends to
console them as he breathed his last.
“Come, come now, you wicked being, you no longer have a place
on earth anymore” he said and as he tried touching the wealthy
man’s body, a dark force appeared around him and eight men
dressed in black appeared trapping the man’s soul.
“What?? This has never happened before, how dare you challenge
the great Elesh?” He hit the earth with his staff and a great bolt of
thunder hit the men hard and they vanished.
“Hahahaha, hahahahahaha. No one dares go against the great
Elesh. Come now, you wicked soul, a place is prepared for you in
the sun” he said and hit his staff against the earth and we were
back on the clouds.
We journeyed on like that, taking good and bad souls of young
and old people along with us.
“See there, is the sacred throne where you would be judged. It is
called heaven, and the gate would come free if you are lucky, if
you are partially lucky then you would be sent to Neptune known
as purgatory to live for a period of time but if you are unlucky
then my brother Felvussesh would give you a ride to the sun to
dine and wine with the great liar, the devil.”He explained and
pointed his staff forward and were soon on a line walking towards
the judgement seat. Only few had smiles on their face as the gate
of heaven opened for them.
“You see, over there. Those are the lucky ones, the ones being led
to that wooden cart are the partially lucky ones while the ones led
to that burning iron cart are the unlucky ones.” he explained
further.
“The ones you see returning back this way before they get to the
judgement throne, have being given a second chance to go back
to earth” he said and disappeared back to his cloud waiting for
new passengers to take back to earth.
Gradually it drew closer to my turn as the wealthy occultic man
who was judged before me was sent to the burning iron cart, a
young pregnant woman infront of me was not allowed to the
judgement throne, so she was led back to Elesh to return to earth.
“Next! Gloria Omolara Adekunle? Please do come forward and be
judged” a gentle voice said and i drifted to the throne with tears
flowing down my bowed head
