Transition

'Behind this door, you will find all the riches a person can possibly perceive about, and even more than that', the sorcerer said. ‘You will be given the liberty to choose any number of items to keep for yourself’, he continued. ‘Enter! Enter now, my child, and reclaim your rightful place as king of Eternia’. With these words, the sorcerer tapped his wooden stick into ground and disintegrated into the foggy mountains of Abazar.

This paragraph from the novel ‘Rulers of Eternia’ was found clasped into the little fists of a 13-year-old boy. This action of tearing pages from a book would be severely punishable by the boy’s mother under normal circumstances. But the present situation was by far ‘normal’. The small excerpt was found clasped in the severed hand of the boy, along with other parts of his anatomy, which included two limbs, a head, two ears and various other cuts of flesh. The coroner’s opinion was that the boy was torn apart while he was still breathing. Perhaps, the killer wanted him to feel his anger. ‘Five minutes!’ said the sergeant, ‘Five minutes to go before we start the operation!’ ‘On your toes, boys!’ he whispered, ‘it’s time to catch the psycho’. His whisper was perhaps ‘answered’ by a loud BANG, which possibly woke the entire neighborhood.

The bang also woke Henry. ‘It was all a dream.’ he thought, ‘what is happening to me? Why did I have to doze off? I must get ready. You know, take a shower, have breakfast, wash car, sharpen the knives!!! Well, let’s go and kill that boy! No use just having nightmares about it.’
