The funeral episode 3

⚰⚰THE FUNERAL⚰⚰
⚰⚰EPISODE 3⚰⚰

We all staggered back in fear on seeing my Grandpa. Although he wasn't looking fearsome or intimidating, we were so scared to the extent that our heart was almost coming out of our mouths.

Oga Mekoo was already shivering and crying in fear while the two other guys were already wetting their pants in panic. I wasn't left out, even though he is my Grandpa, I was mumbling Allah hu Akbar and Jesus Christ at the same time because I was so scared.

"Is this how I'm going to die", I asked myself in fear.

"Do you need some help there boys", My Grandfather repeated again.

We were obviously too scared to answer. One of the guys fainted straight up due to the tension.

Oga Mekoo started banging the door hard and furiously without paying much attention to us. He kicked and slapped the door, but it was all in vain.

I presumed that my Grandfather has had enough of him questioning without being given an answer, and as if he was using a magic, he moved into the air and hung himself at a convenient place.

I was the only one watching this, the two remaining guy that was still alive and kicking were not concentrating on him. They were hitting the door with all they've got and with every energy their fear could generate.

They were still banging the door when I noticed something strange, I tapped the two other guys to see what I was seeing.

They obliged this time and they turned their heads to the direction of the place I was pointing to.

My Granda opened a hole which looked like a portal.

He disappeared into the hole only to return two minutes later with a chair, Palm wine and meat. I don't know know if Ghost can eat and do stuff like that but my Grandfather was about to do one.

He chose a very convenient angle for himself and he settled down with the Palm wine and meat. We were still gawking at him in awe and saliva was almost dropping from my mouth because my full attention was on him.

It wasn't up to five minutes of him eating when the coffin that has been standing at the rear side since morning started laughing. The coffin was laughing like a drunk man that was given laughing gas.

The three of us were still looking for the mouth it was using to laugh when the coffin started growing. Yeah, it was growing like a tree and it grew hands, mouth and nose.

My Grandfather was still busy with his meat and he has his full attention on it, he wasn't even raising his head up for once to see the drama that was unfolding beside him.

Oga Mekoo and the second guy were already hugging themselves in ecstasy and great fear.

The guy that fainted earlier has already got up and was now staring and looking around like a lost goat and the moment he sighted my Grandpa with Meat and Wine, he passed out again.

My Grandfather is already done with his meal this time and he asked us again.

"Do you guys need some help", there was no answer from us again and he continued,"Since you guys don't, I'll be needing yours", he said conclusively.

The moment he said that, a giant portal opened. It was bigger than the previous one and before we could say Jack or Jill, or even Jane, the portal drew all of us, including that guy that fainted inside with a rush of wind.

We all landed into into a graveyard, however, we landed in different ways.

The guy that fainted earlier fell with his head upside down and his head got smashed immediately.

The biggest guy among them was still screaming in fear when an unknown hand took away his ahead and the second guy's head simultaneously.

The two remaining people that was left alive was Oga Mekoo and I.

Oga Mekoo was still staring at nothing with his mouth wide open when his legs started to sink into the ground.

He was sinking right in my eyes and I couldn't even go near him. His whole body got sinked into the ground till I couldn't see him again.

I fell to the ground immediately and passed out.

I got woken up the next morning by Peace with a wet cloth pressed to my face. He said they found me at the entrance of Grandfather's hut and they brought me inside.

Then I remember everything that happened that midnight immediately, I stood up and ran immediately to the room to check his coffin.

Everything was in perfect condition, his corpse, coffin and everything.

He was buried that morning and we returned to Lagos the next day.

No one ever knew about what happened to Oga Mekoo and his friends and I've never mentioned it to anyone. It has been a torture to me since because I usually see them in my dreams.
