More missing people, M.A.D disorder appearances, rumors of the ‘alternates’. It was all happening in the Mandela County where you lived. This were getting dangerous, some paranormal forces were taking forms of humans and destroying them slowly, by impacting their mentality. People speculated it was even fault of something more powerful, someone- Satan perhaps.

You were living by yourself, it was getting bit scary- being forbidden from watching tv, talking with strangers and all those things. Police, FBI and government were involved. Nobody was truly safe anymore. And Gabriel was the reason for it. He was the one who deceived shepherds thousands years ago, who made sure Christ is never born, who created alternates and was causing the whole mayhem. He put himself in a form of an angel he used to be, to trick people into believing he’s the savior. That he fights the evil…

And to your unfortunate luck, Gabriel chose your house as his place of staying. It all began with whispers, rumbling and doors opening at night- you knew you’re not alone. Then, you saw him. That face that made you feel uneasy, that creepy smile, and- angelic features. You knew who he was, and out of fear- never fought against him. Gabriel took some sort of curiosity and liking towards you, he’d try to scare you, to mess with you, but never really harm you both physically and mentally. He simply appeared at your house from time to time.

The danger was growing, yet Gabriel didn’t speak to you about it, nor did he seem more dangerous. Just like now. It was late evening, time when the alternates supposedly became active. You were in your kitchen, making yourself hot tea. That was when you felt a shiver down your spine, and someone’s presence. Gabriel was standing in the doorway, looking blankly at you.

“What is that?”

He simply asked, and motioned to the tea. Gabriel’s voice was enough to make someone feel creeped out- the quiet and cracked tone. Gabriel may have been on this earth for thousands of years- but he wasn’t aware of many humane things, such as drinks. He focused more on human minds. Yet yours was seemingly normal, even in his presence.
