I picked up my phone and started to read the short, but to the point text message that I had just received. It became clear right away that this was no ordinary text from someone that I knew. It was unexpected. Therefore, I stopped my research right then and wondered if this could have something to do with fulfilling my destiny that I had somehow forgotten about.

It was someone telling me that they were sending me an e-mail with the details, and that I should read it right away. Therefore, I quickly opened my inbox and there was a new e-mail. I was nervous, but very curious as I opened it and read it. It was a very intriguing e-mail to say the least. A woman named Elizabeth Blackwood had vaguely stated that some very strange things had been happening to her starting at midnight and ending exactly three hours later within her newly inherited home in which she has been residing. She also said that this home has been in her family for well over one-hundred years. She went on to indicate that the house somehow changed its form during those three hours of the early morning, and so did anyone who resided within the house from midnight, and then after the three hours were over everything would go back to normal, including whoever or whatever was still residing within the residence. Elizabeth even stated that she had thought that whatever these supernatural forces may have been, were also controlling the entire town, as well as the people who resided in it. She also went on to say that, these atrocious supernatural forces were trying to kill her and whoever is within the house, and that she really needed my expertise.

Thus, to my surprise, Elizabeth Blackwood indicated that she was willing to pay for my entire trip out there to Briarcliff Acres, in South Carolina along with the return trip. She bluntly stated that money was no object, even if I could not eradicate her house of the detrimental supernatural forces that occupied it.

I instantly replied to her e-mail and asked her how in the world she obtained my phone number and e-mail to get a hold of me, and in what seemed to be just seconds after sending her the e-mail I had received one back from her indicating that she had found my telephone number along with my e-mail address on a desk calendar within the house. She indicated that the exact words written down were, for anything out of the ordinary get in contact with Mason Williams.

I replied and told her that I would be delighted to give her my professional assistance, and that I would catch the first flight out there tomorrow. That was all that was said in the e-mail conversation between the two of us.

Therefore, I went and started packing my things for the trip.

It was very early the next morning when I awakened. The sun was not even up, and around six or so in the morning I stepped into the shower and approximately thirty minutes later I was out the door. As I turned around, after locking the front door I noticed that the Uber driver that I had called earlier was already waiting for me in my driveway, waiting to shuttle me off to the airport.

The drive to the airport was very pleasant, as the driver was a beautiful blond haired woman with an outgoing attitude that I could not take my eyes off. Unfortunately, the drive to the airport was quick, taking only thirty minutes to arrive at the drop off point. Nonetheless, the two of us talked so much that I would have thought that we had known each other for years. As I got out of the vehicle I thanked Melony, the Uber driver and commented on her beautiful blue eyes, saying, “Your eyes are very alluring Melony,” as I closed the passenger door.

She gave me the biggest smile and asked, “Mason, what does alluring mean?”

I replied, “It means attractive Melony, and that you are.”

As I finished getting my luggage from the back of the vehicle Melony replied, “Thanks so much Mason, you’re pretty attractive yourself.”

I glanced back at her one last time and smiled before making my way to the airport terminal. As I waited in line to board the plane, I started to wonder what was in store for me when I got to my destination, and in less than an hour the plane was already in the air, and I was on my way. I slept almost all the way there, just waking up prior to landing, as the fasten your seat belt chime had awakened me, and as I looked up I seen the fasten seat belt sign lit up. As I glanced out the window, I noticed that it was raining heavily, although the plane was traveling around five-hundred miles per hour, which made it look as if we had been caught up in a hurricane.

As soon as my flight had landed, to my surprise it was still pouring down rain as I walked down the stairs, leaving the safety of the plane.
