Chapter 156 No Ghost, Please. (1/2)

Inna woke up with a start.

She didn't remember the dream she just had, but one thing was for sure, she was enjoying that dream and some loud motherfucking sound just went and ruined it for her.

It sounded like a chair being scraped back against the hard rough floor.

Letting out a small inaudible groan as she shuffled slightly in her bed, she tried to look for that sound that made her wake up by listening instead of searching with her eyes.

She knew looking around was useless. That's because her room was now in total darkness, save for a small beam of moonlight that came from her window.

And she couldn't be bothered to light the candles.

After a few seconds of listening intently,  she heard a few noises that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

”Marghmmmhmm.… Ommmmmphhh…”

She heard a few crunches and along with it were constant noises of someone chewing.

Oh god.

She can hear someone eating in her room.

Lord, Jesus, God, whatever, please don't let it be a ghost.

Don't let it be a ghost eating some human meat or whatever.

No ghost, please.

Please.

Inna clenched her eyes shut as she fought back the staggering urge to run. She tried to calm herself down by thinking of it as just a dream she's probably having.

But when she discreetly pinched herself and the stinging pain came soon after, she knew it's real. And her fear grew worse.

She was ready to bolt, ready to just fuck it and run out while screaming.

But when she heard the familiar clinking of plates, she grew confused and curious rather than scared.

The ghost is using plates?

She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at the ridiculousness of the idea.

A ghost? Using a plate to eat?

Must be a very noble ghost?

Or probably a very well-mannered one?

Wait, can ghosts even touch things?

Then, Inna gasped silently as she realized.

Unless the ghosts here can!

Inna recalled back to Ulima's stories where he talked about a ghost attacking someone in a room.

If they can attack people, that must mean that they can touch things!

Oh, wait, oh shit, THEY CAN ATTACK PEOPLE.

With that realization, Inna knew she shouldn't be rash about her decisions.

She wanted to run away but the ghost might chase her around. And chase scenes with ghosts were the most horrific and the scariest scene in any horror movie.
