The Necronomicon By Jason

Everyday I Always Dreamed Of Controling Something Like An Army But Im Just An Average Person Who Goes To Work And Pays Bills Just Like The Rest Of The World. But For One Day It All Changed For Me. When At The Public Library I Noticed Some Students From A College Talking About A Book With Some Kinda Magical Spells In It. They Where Talking About How It Was A Grimoire Book. A Book About The Dead.
 
For Which I Wanted To Learn More About This Book So I Did Some Research On It. I Found That This Book Was Made By The Author "The Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred Which Was About The Old Ones And Their History And Means For Resurrecting Them Among Other Things Like Demons And The Dead. I Was Getting Into Something I Didnt Know Really Much About But As I Started To Learn More About This Book. I Was Starting To Become Obsessed With It. Wanting To Learn More About It. I Was Almost Trying Anything To Find The Book. So I Went To Every Book Store And Library Around Town Trying To Find More Info About It. So I One Day I Had An Idea To Look For It. But For An Average Person I Had No Money To Go Anywhere. But One Day I Saw This Old Crumbled Buliding That Had "Old And Used Books" On The Front On A Sign. So I Went Into This Book Store To See If I Could Get Some Info On The Necronomicon.
 
As I Walked In This Old Store. It Smelled Moist And Damp. Almost Like It Was Deserted For Along Time. But As I Walked Around There Where All Kinds Of Books. Nothing But Old Books. As I Came To The Counter. An Old Man Came Out Of The Back. Slowly Taking His Time To Get To The Counter. He Asked Me In A Deep Voice "What Is Thy Looking For" And I Said The Necronomicon Ex Mortis The Book Of The Dead. And The Old Man Giggled And Chuckled. And He Stopped And Looked Up At Me And Said In A Evil Voice " No You Dont. You Dont Know What Your Getting Your Self Into Son" And With That Said I Said I Dont Care I Just Want To Find It And Read It. And He Laughed And Said "Very Well Then. I Warned You My Son" As If I Really Didnt Care What He Said. And With That Said. He Told Me To Follow Him In The Back. As I Followed Him I Saw Ancient Books Of Different Things. And In The Back. There Was A Safe And A Table With Candles On It Along With Books Surrounding Us With A Small Window In The Back That Was Opened. As The Old Man Reached And Opened The Safe. What I Saw In His Hands Was A Cloth Of Some Sort. And When He Laid It Down On The Table He Told Me To Look At It. And What I Was Looking At Was A Map Of A Graveyard In Damascus.
 
 As I Looked Up At Him I Said What Is This And He Replied "The Book Of The Dead My Son. You Wanted To Find It Right" I Said Yes And He Said "This Is Where You Will Find It In Damascus Where The Mad Arab Wrote It As For His Sudden And Mysterious death In 738" And Then He Went On Telling Me More About The Mad Arab And The Book As He Said To Me "Alhazred Is Said To Have Been A Half-Crazed Arab Who Worshipped The Entities Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu. He Is Described As Being From Sanaa In Yemen And As Visiting The Ruins Of Babylon The Subterranean Secrets Of Memphis And The Empty Quarter Of Arabia Where He Discovered The Nameless City Below Irem" Having That Said I Was Getting Even More Excited About Finding It. And He Said "Take This Map And When You Get To The City Of Damascus Use This As It Was My Fathers Map Pasted Down From One Generation To Another As My Father Was An Arab." Now With This Old Map In Hand I Might Just Be Able To Find The Book Of The Dead. Now My Next Objective Was To Get Money Up And Fly To Damascus. Now With Weeks Passed By I Saved Money To Get A Plane Ticket And Fly Over To Where The Book Was. Now On The Plane I Started To Feel Like Something Was Drawing Me Toward This Place Like It Was Almost Talking To Me. Telling Me To Come And Get It. It Was Weird To Feel This Way About A Book. But This Book Was Not Just A Simple Book But The Book Of The Dead. As The Plane Landed I Asked For The Directions To This Graveyard. And Most People Didnt Know It Where Or If It Really Existed. But I Noticed An Old Man Near A Tent Who Was Selling Books. I Walked Over To The Old Man And Asked And He Replied "Are You Sure You Wanna Go There" And I Said Yes. He Told Me The Directions But He Also Told Me To Be Safe As It Was Dangerous In That Graveyard.
 
As I Traveled By Horse I Thought To Myself. But I Thought No One Knew It Existed. How Did That Old Man Know Where It Was. O Well I Thought. As The Nights Came And The Sun Shined Down On Me As I Road To The Grave Site To Find The Book. A Funny Feeling Ran In My Thoughts That I Might Be Getting My Self Into Something I Cant Get Out Of. But I Road On To Find The Evil Book That Was Known To The Western World As The Most Dangerous Book In History. Now Growing Night And Windy As I Came To The Grave Site I Noticed That It Was Nothing But Hills Of Tombstones And Graves Almost Like A Swamp Feeled With Graves. It Really Scared Me But As The Wolfs Cryed In Horror And The Howling Of The Wind In My Ear Made It Even More Scary. The Gates Of The Cemetry Where Torn And Destroyed By The Aging Of The Grave Site. There Where Nothing On The Gate To Read So It Must Be The Graveyard I Must Be Looking For. But How Would I Find It I Thought. So I Looked At The Map Carefully And Noticed On The Back It Had "Find Thy Name On Thy Tomb And Be Ashamed Of What Will To Come" Well I Guess I Had To Find The Grave Of The Mad Arab. So As I Walked In This Damp And Wet And Sticky Graveyeard Of The Dead.
 
I Noticed That It Was Like I Was Been Written About In A Story. It Made Me Feel Uncomfortable About All This. What Was I Doing I Thought To My Self. But Who Cares Anyways I Thought To My Self Repeatedly Over And Over Again. Now With The Necronomicon In Mind And The Grave Of The Mad Arab I Must Find And Dig The Grave Of The Mad Arab. Thank God I Brought A Shovel With Me In My Trip. Now As I Was Getting Futher Into The Cemetry I Notice A Trail That Lead Into The Woods Of The Graveyard. As I Looked All Over The Tombs I Didnt See The Mad Arabs Grave. So After Walking The Hills And Searching For The Grave Of Abdul. I Followed The Trail Down And Further As I Got Into The Woods The Wind Started To Get Louder And Heavyer Like It Was Trying To Beat Me Down. And The Fog And Mist Started To Appear Out Of No Where. This Trail Was Long. The Trees Where Starting To Talk To Me Asking What Is My Name And Where Did I Come From. Why Was I Here And I Needed To Turn Back. I Thought To My Self Was I Going Insane. But It Must Be An Illusion I Thought To My Self. But They Kept On And On. I Tryed To Cover My Ears But They Got Louder And Louder Like That Where Trying To Warn Me About Something. Then It Got Even More Scary As I Traveled On. I Started To Hear Bells And Laughing. This Was Getting To Much For Me But I Needed To Find This Book. I Really Did. Something No One Could Find But Me.
 
As It Would Be Mine For Good And No One Could Get It. Now Still Riding On My Horse. My Horse Threw Me Off And To The Ground And Turned Around And Dissappeared Into The Darkness Of The Night Behind Me As This Yelling Scared Him Off. It Sounded Like Between A Tiger And A Cow. Now It Was Getting To Intense For Me. I Was Thinking About Heading Back Myself But I Could Not. The Yelling Of This Unknown Thing Stopped. For What I Was To Find Next Was So Bone Chilling It Sent Chills Up My Spine. As I Walked To The Edge Of The Woods Of The Cemetry. The Trail Was Cut Off And Stopped In Front Of Me As What I Saw Was A Valley Of Dead Skeletons And Rotten Flesh Hanging Off The Humans That Where Dead. It Smelled So Horrorible It Made Me Actually Puke A Few Times. The Air Was Filled With The Deaths Breath. In Front Of Me Was Some Steps That Lead Down Into The Valley. So I Thought This Must Be The Valley Of Death. So Taking The First Step Down And The Next Finally Reaching The Bottom Of The Steps And On Solid Ground Again With The Dead All Around Me. There Was Some Trees There As Well But Mostly Was The Dead.
 
The Fog Was Falling Down Into The Valley Almost Invaloping Me And The Skeletons. There Was Gold And Diamonds Everywhere. Treasures Of Theres I Thought To Myself. But Was Not Here For Riches. So Walking Slowly On Top Of The Bones Of The Dead And Listening To The Mush Of The Rotten Flesh As I Stepped On. It Was So Nasty It Was Horrorible To Watch My Own Feet Step On The Dead. Walking On And In Front Of Me Was Some More Steps That Lead Upwards Up Another Hill. So Reaching The Other Side And Going Up The Steps. I Found Another Cemetry With Graves In It. I Thought To Myself. This Must Be It. It Has To Be For Godsakes. So Walking Beside The Metal Fence. In The Middle Of This Graveyard Was A Stone Like Desk With Pillars Holding It Up. It Was Waist High To Me. But It Seemed The Fog Was Like Following Behind Me For Some Reason. And Then Wind Started To Say My Name. But I Continued On. Now Reaching The Desk Like Stone Desk. I Saw A Book. Now Within My Eyes Was A Book That Was Black With A Evil Looking Ingraved Face On It. With A Metal Strap Clipped To It. To Open The Book Was To Unstrap It. So Now Picking The Book Up The Wind Stopped And The Fog Laid Still Where It Was. Now Looking All Around Me Thinking Something Was Coming For Me. But There Was Nothing. So I Opened The Book And The Smell Of The Dead Returned To My Nose. As The First Page Was Blooded Looking And Smelt Of Rotten Flesh Like The Valley Behind Me. It Was Horroible Smell. But I Noticed There Was Not A Grave For The Mad Arab Abdul. So I Didnt Care. This Must Be The Book Of The Dead.
 
This Must Be The Necronomicon Ex Mortis That I Was Holding In My Hands. The Pages Where Made Of Human Flesh And Was Inked In Human Blood. It Was Nasty To Even Hold. But I Started To Enjoy The Smell Of The Dead In This Book. It Smelt So Good To Me. So I Reading The Book. It Had A Spell Reading Something Like This "For Those Who Shall Be Damned Shall Know The Way To Be Damned. And For Those Who Wish For Death Will Know Nothing But Death." This Must Be Something That Can Rise A Army Of The Dead I Thought To Myself. So Reading And Screaming Out What I Said. The Air Got Thin As The Ground Started To Sake As The Wind Stopped And The Fog Dissappeared Into Nothing. The Howling Stopped And The Smell Was Gone. Now Seeing Infront And Around Me The Ground Was Started To Shake Me And The Tombs. Then What Happened Next Was Beyond My Imagination. The Graves Started To Rise Out Of The Ground As The Earth Was Starting To Tear Apart By Something Underneath It. What I Saw Was A White Bone Hand Reach Out With Five Pointing Fingers To The Sky And Then The Hand Turned And Pointed At Me. Then The Rest Of The Ground Started To Push Upwards As The Rest Of The Skeletal Figure Came Fourth. And To My Eyes Was A Standing Skeleton. And With The Eyes Missing And Teeth Gone With Some Still Remaining. The Skeleton Was Still Pointing At Me.
 
Now This Was Bone Chilling As Chilling Is It Could Get I Thought As Chills Ran Down My Spine. Goosebumps Where All Over My Body Now. But I Noticed The Skeletion Had A Sword In Hand. Sharp And Shiny With Dirt All Over It With Stains Of Old Dryed Blood On It. Now With This Skeleton Facing Me Another Skeleton Came Fourth Out Of The Earth. As More Come To. There Must At Least Fifty Skeletons That Where Standing All Around Me. Now With All Of Them Looking At Me. I Must Said Something To Resurrect Them Back To The Land Of The Living. So With This I Thought Maybe This Is My New Army I Was Dreaming About. So This Is The Necronomicon. The Book Of The Dead Is Mine I Said Out Loud As I Held It Up High As A Lighting Bolt Went Across The Sky With Thunder Following Behind It. Now I Wanted To Make Sure That Would Not Hurt Me So I Walked Slowly Toward The One Who Was Still Pointing At Me. As I Got To It. It Bent Down And Slowly Drug The Finger It Was Pointing At Me With Into The Dirt At Its Feet And Spelled Out Was To Shock Me "The Dead Is At Your Command. The Dead Is Not Alive Again. The Dead Is For The One Who Holds The Book Of The Dead. The Dead Has No Feelings For The Living. The Dead Is Now Ten Times That Of The Human Army. The Dead Is Now Fully Awaken" And The Dead Skeleton Rose Back Up And Held His Sword Above My Head And The Other Skeletons Rised Theres Up As Well As The Skeleton In Front Of Me Screamed A Erie Laughter Of Joy Like. And Now With The Sword At Its Side.
 
 It Stood There Looking And Watching Me. So Intrusting The Dead That Was On Myside. I Continued To Read The Book. With Evil Commands Within Its Pages I Made The Dead Follow Me To The Valley Of The Dead. Now Marching Behind Me. The Skeletons With Shields And Swords In Hand Followed Me Close Behind With The Same Clatter Of Foot Steps They Made When They Walked. It Was Awesome To Have Them On My Side. Now Reaching The Valley. I Said The Same Passage Before And The Dead Started To Reanimate Into Bodys Of Skeletons. There Where Thousands Of Them. To Many To Count. So I Was Really Getting Into This. But Still On My Toes I Went Down The Steps As The Skeletons Followed Behind Me. As The Skeletons Below Made A Path For Me To Cross. Now Going Up The Steps And Back Onto The Trail That I Came From. As The Rest Of The Skeletons Followed From The Valley Behind Them. Now Reaching The Other Graveyard. The Main Skeleton Behind Me Which Was The First To Appear Screamed Behind Me "Dig You Worthless Bag Of Bones" Now Rushing By Me And Dig With There Hands And Swords And Shields. They Where Digging Up The Other Dead. This Was So Cool To See Before Me As Two Skeletons Stood Beside Me Like They Where Protecting Me From Something.
 
This Was Real As It Gets I Thought. Like I Was Dreaming But Not. So There Dead Rose Out Of The Ground And Stood In A Halt Stance. The Main Skeleton Ran Back To Me And Said The Army Is Ready Sir. And His Following Words Scared Me To The Bone. He Said "Takes Us To The Mortals And Let Us Wear There Flesh As Trophies For Victory" Now With The Necronomicon In Hand And The Army Of The Dead Behind Me It Felt Like I Was Unstoppable. But As I Noticed That My Body Started To Rot Off And My Flesh Started To Peel Off. And My Skin Was Dissolving And Falling To The Ground. It Was Clear To Me That I Was The King Of The Dead And Now My Army Of The Dead Was Ready For The Land Of The Living As The Dead Of Horses And Animals Followed As Well. A New Age Was Rising. Now That I Cannot Die. And With The Book Of The Dead In Hand I Was The New King Of Death. The King Of The Dead. The Destroyer Of The Living. I Had Now The Smell Of Human Flesh And Was Wanting To Wear It With Pride. I Am Death Himself And I Come For Your Soul As I Welcome You To Your New Home Of The Land Of The Dead.
