wages of sins is death
Vengeance of the dead souls

There was this weird white house made of wood that was across the road. The house looked pretty old, it had some broken window panes and the white coat was kind of fading living some grey stains on the woods.  Besides the house there was an old tree with dry branches, the tree had a plump stem which I guess had some water in it which extended the tree's life span.  The door to the house was open, inside the house there was some darkness with a few sun rays hitting the wooden floor. The door was old and worn out, the door kept on squeaking as the wind blew. Inside the house great things had happened, things that would terrify you.
The house is said to have belonged to an old man called Carl Weber, the guy is said to have been a cardiologist. This guy was no ordinary cardiologist; he used to work at the comfort of his home.  One day his son had a heart problem and there was no one to donate one. Carl was running out of time and out of options. He didn't know what to do, he was in a desperate situation and as we all know. Desperate situations call for desperate measures.
These particular cardiologists one day decided to go against the ethics  and the code of conduct guiding his career. There was another patient waiting for a heart transplant the same day his son was going to die. What this cardiologist did was, stealing the other patient's heart and act like it was stolen. The doctor rushed back home to rescue his one and only son. Unfortunately he found his son lying on the floor, looking frozen. His mouth and eyes were both wide open. The doctor stood there in disbelief, I fell down on his knees and held is son. "Nooooooooo , oh Lord why did you have to take him , why ? Why ? Why ?
Carl was furious and frustrated by his sons death , Carl's humanity was turned off since that day . He ceased to believe in God . He chose to live a lonely life. He became a heavy smoker and a drunkard  . He smoked 2 packets of cigarettes per day  . All he had was anger and bitterness . He has always yearned to avenge his son's death .  What Carl lacked was the idea of how he was going to carry out his revenge , and to whom ?  After a year and a half , he was still mourning his son's death .  So one day when he was seating outside his house smoking, an idea struck his mind .
He thought it was the ultimate way to get his revenge .  Carl's idea was to take away  the lives any patient  who suffered from any heart diseases . This would make him feel better by taking away their hearts and feeding them to his two dogs . Carl's habit went on for years without getting discovered.
This people he killed started haunting him .  Every night he would experience nightmares and even at times sleep walk and get outside the house. This got worse day by day , Carl was losing his mind . He was haunted to the point whereby he took his own life .
