EXCERPT
WHAT EVIL LURKS BENEATH
Lindsay looked on as Father O’Connor tried desperately to control his
emotions. He thrust the old skeleton key into the mortice lock of the basement
door, fixated on one thing only—to confront his deepest fears that lived in
that room. Just being in Ward C of Willow Court Asylum was enough to set off
an emotional reaction—to get even with the devil in there.
“The demon knows we’re here,” Father O’Connor said. He was holding his cross
in one hand and a small bottle of holy water in the other. Although he was
composed, the sacred water rattled in his hand.
Lindsay looked back at him as his eyes filled with sadness for all the victims
who had lost their lives to the wicked Dr. Pendergrass. “The demon mustn’t
sense any fear, or it will take advantage. We come armed with God’s word,
filled with the Holy Spirit. We’re strong, Father. Don’t fear the evil that
has tormented us for over a century.”
Father O’Connor didn’t respond. He knew Lindsay was right, because the only
way to defeat a demon was not to expose your worst fears. Demons had an
uncanny way of measuring your apprehension and using it to their
advantage.
Lindsay turned the key quickly until he heard the click of the mortice lock
disengaging. Then he raised his foot and kicked the door open as he shone his
lantern into the room.
He placed his hands over his mouth. The room smelled like it had been
untouched for a hundred years; a putrid stench that was not from this time and
had carried over from generations.
“Is this what spirits smell like?” Father O’Connor asked.
“It’s the signature of evil you are smelling, Father. They all have a
different odor. It’s how we identify them.”
Father O’Connor sensed the evil in the air—the rotting moisture of death and
the blood curdling screams of babies and their mothers who had died in this
den of horrors.
“So, now you hide from us, demon? Behind the pitch-black curtains of your own
hell!” Lindsay called out. “Show yourself, you scum of the Earth and murderer
of mothers and children!”
