The Love From Vengeance

46: OLD POPS DICKSON

ARIEL’S POV

Luke and I stood still while the baldheaded man kept his gun aimed at us without wavering. His large belly stood out prominently beneath his shirt, and his face was adorned with a snowy white beard.

We couldn’t help but notice the scar right across his cheek, and adding to the unsettling image, his mouth revealed a set of decayed teeth, which was kind of disgusting. I’d rather eat a dog poop than

kiss those little guys for a million bucks.

“And what are you two doing here?” The baldheaded man asked, moving closer to the both of us. Don’t you know that this is my yard?” he added with a raised eyebrow.

Luke and I glanced at each other, with puzzled faces.

“Am I talking to statues?” He barked, and we had to look at me that very moment. Making a sound with his gun, he was fully prepared to fire at us. Luke and I lifted our hands right in the air.

“Sorry to intrude sir. But trust me when I say this; we had no single clue this was your yard. We didn’t even know this place belongs to anyone,” I spoke in a calm tone, trying to defuse the situation of

And boy trust me, I had no idea that, was right there. So did Luke, I think. We were just running like chickens who got their heads cut off.

“You had any idea that was there?” Luke asked me in a whisper.

“Hell no,” I whispered back.

“Silence!” The baldheaded man shrieked immediately, causing me to tremble. Luke just shook his head in a silent laugh. He didn’t even seem terrified at all.

“Haven’t you heard that those who enters Old Pops Dickson’s yard never comes out alive?” The baldheaded man continued with his infuriated tone.

“We haven’t heard about this place before,” Luke said after a chuckle. “And by the way, you need to change that name of yours. I mean, come on, you should be in your early fifties or something.”
