Hey!!! You two come back here,you haven't paid for the food you ate. They kept on running and after a while when then saw no one was after them again they stopped and kept on panting.

These two naughty jobless guys goes by the name John and Joshua popularly known as Jay Trouble,they are mainly wanderers and not like they don't have a home but they love lurking around corners to hijack things from their owner.

The Plant Village,where John and Joshua lives comprises lots of mud houses and large vast of lands mainly for farming and there are not quite good paying job in this village , which is one of the reasons the Jay Trouble hates their village.
A sneak peak into John and Joshua's lives

John, a tall ,dark and handsome young man with a well built body structure lives alone with his mother since he is the only child of his parents. After the demise of his father ,he met Joshua ,who is coolheaded,respectful,tall and fair skinned .Although, being an orphan doesn't make him waver his good characters but he got influenced by John who is always planning something deceitful and since he doesn't know any of his relatives ,he also lives with John so as not to feel lonely alone in the house. They both had built this desire within them to leave their hometown to another where they aren't known and they won't have to work but just spend money lavishly.
Present Time

On this day,John and Joshua took a tour round their hometown as usual ,they were filled with happiness that there was a Palm wine stall close to the path they are walking,since there is only one in their village and it's faraway. They got to the palm wine stall and requested 4cups of palm wine ,they sat and we're sipping from their cups .Palm wine joints are always filled up with different people telling their live stories,gossiping,playing drafts. It was at this spot ,they engaged in a dialogue with other customers when one brought a talk of a thrift collector which is very trustworthy on money issues and it will be his turn to receive his money the following day and discussed where the man lived. When they finished their wines,they planned to trick the seller since they don't have any money to pay,they shouted snakes snakes and everyone dispersed from the joint.

Joshua and John stopped at the junction to their house to reminisce on what they heard,John then brought up a plan for them to steal the money from the thrift collector and start a new life in another town. They plotted and executed the plan at night and escaped the Plant Village at midnight .In the early hours of the morning ,they stopped at a town named "The Death Land"...sounds scary right ?Only few houses are built in this town and a big Catholic church at the the town square .
A Long Hidden Secret

This church was called Old mission Church,the Reverend father of this church had committed a sin in his prime when he was still ministering as a Junior Pastor.The church had an house built close to it popularly known as "Old mission house" where no one had lived past 7days in it .

John and Joshua went in search of an Agent named James who took them on a tour round the town and they eventually stopped at Old mission house.They decided to rent the house since it is well furnished and the rent fee is quite affordable.They paid the fee and moved into the house on that same day since they brought along only a small bag for their clothes with the hope of getting new modern clothes.

As it is a new apartment for them,they threw a party for house warming with lots of drinks available. Later at night,Joshua started feeling something eerie about the house but shrugged off the feeling thinking he had too many drinks for as night. It kept on happening at night ,until the third night he heard strange sounds like muffled cries continuously he told John about it but was quick to put it aside that Joshua doesn't seem to like the house yet.

The sound continued till the 7th night when Joshua built his courage to trace the muffled cries he has been hearing for the past 6days now. He traced the cries to their kitchen and continued hearing louder ones beyond the second kitchen door.


Tiago Dos Santos
I quote "Curiosity kills the cat" ,Joshua opened the second kitchen door and it led him to another apartment inside that same house ,he continued trailing the voice until he got to a passage which was a dead end .He kept on seeing shadows coming at him. He moved back consciously until he hit something at the other end of the passage thinking it was a ghost. He screamed at the top of his voice. Only to wake up into the real word and discover it was only a dream.

I really got into this story until the end :) ... A good exercise for this story might be, in your head, to give it five different potential endings :) ...
