Dragged Into Doom

avatar

Red lights, red and black candles, a bathtub, a table and other features. This looked like a murder ground. He turned to look at his friend John and John gave him a nod, signifying that everything would be fine. John had been his buddy for a couple of years now but his nod wasn't assurance enough.

He got in and there were other people wearing the red gown with enough allowance on the clothes. It looked like it was some kind of incantation they were doing. His mind began running wild.
"Could it be that John is trying to….?" No! No! It couldn't be. His homie won't do that to him. John by his side, they kept proceeding towards the center where other people were. They joined in the circle.

"Do whatever you're asked to do, I'd explain it to your understanding later" John whispered.
"You would explain..? I almost screamed as I realized that I was in a quiet place "you would explain later? Wtf bro!" I whispered.

"Everything after that happened like a dream and with so much speed. From drinking what the instructor who was very weird looking, told us to drink to getting into a coffin and being immersed in cold water and all, i wasn't myself"

"Go now my children! We are one now! You know our procedure and what we do here. Don't mention a word of it to anyone or else they would die".

I wanted to ask a question but John noticed and dissuaded me. "You know the procedure and what we do here..?" I know no freaking procedure, I don't even know where I am.

The procession ended and John had a lot of explaining to do.

"Look man, it's nothing, after what you just did inside there, you're never going to lack anything you wish for. Is it food, money, clothes, girls, name it".

My mouth dropped open. " At what expense"
John started sweating. It seems this was the most difficult part to say.
"Well, you don't have to mention it to anyone unless they are in the cult"
"Cult?! I'm in a cult now?!!. Oh boy! Shit! "
John still looked disturbed. I couldn't care less because I felt like giving him a punch in the face.
"There's more man".

"Oh! There's more? Wonderful! Just great! Let me guess, I'd be dying soon or I have to donate my right lung or my left kidney?"
"No, that's not it. Well it's a little over that"
"I'm this close from giving you a punch on your face with all the anger in me. Out with it already!" I threatened.

"The one you love the most would…"
"Even worse! My loved ones are now involved! Oh man! What have you done! I said as tears were threatening to drop down.

"... could you at least let me finish?"
He had the guts to ask me that. You've definitely got some balls bro. Anyways I let him speak.

"They would live half of their lifetime. Say they had 20years to live, they'd be living for ten, so technically nothing….".

"Technically my ass! How generous! Allotting lifespan to people when they're not supposed to. Man, you're a betrayer!.
"How many loved ones are we talking about here because I heard you say 'they'. I asked amidst tears. He lifted his index finger as a means to say one. I'm glad he acknowledged the fact that I didn't want to hear a word from him anymore.

"Fuck off man! I said as I hurried out. I needed a quiet place to think because it turns out that other newbies were in the same position like I was in and so the noise in the background was too much.
"I'd be at my house if you need anything, I was just trying to help you bro". John yelled as I departed. I gave him a middle finger without even turning to look at him.

So as it stands, I was dragged into doom while I was still very sane. How tragic! Fuck shit! Arrrrrrrgh! I was so infuriated. So my girlfriend had a shortened life span or was she not the one…? What have I done now, I exclaimed Amid tears…
