13 --Remnants From The Past--

This is a continuation of Pandemonium's Story! Read post 12 if you aint sure whats going on! ^^

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lawyer finally introduced himself as a will solicitor specialist and also a good friend of the dead old goat. His known as Halo. Another figure behind him is a lady, and her call-name(LoL) is Seraph...

I continued to stare at both the figure in silence, wondering what shit would come up next. Seraph left the room quickly and returned with a large cardboard box. She set it neatly next to Halo with a solemn face and took her customary place behind Halo again. Halo then turned to me and finally spoke... (and its about fucking time he did... )

"Young Man, this box was left here by the "old goat" u mentioned! He did this on the day he prepared his last will and testament. The box was promptly sealed then in the vault and i have no legal right to peek at it until i do have the honour of meeting u. As u can see, though the box is old of age, the seal is still intact. There are very stringent and specific instructions handed to me upon administering it to u."

Halo pushed the box to me and urged me to ajar it with care and haste. I wondered how the hell am i suppose to be doing those rheotorical actions at the sametime. Nevertheless, i broke the seal, reached inside the box ... all this while, i was thinking there is at least a bar of pure gold i would find... some jewels maybe... or perhaps some ancient valuable artifact that i can auction off at the national museum... And.... to my chagrin, i pulled out a ... FUCKING VIDEO TAPE???!!!?

Halo seemed to have expected this, when i noticed, he has already set up a video player and a tv right in front of me... with that ghastly grin on his face as usual, while Seraph held a remote control... it was then i blurted out in a cool manner, not tat i'm cool, but it was those disconcerted cool...And oh.. dont forget sacrasm! ;D

"Whats going on here?Everyone else walks away with millions and all i got is a... obsolete home movie.. OOOhh.. GREAT! I'm so Fucking Thrilled! I hope it has caveman and dinosaurs in it, at least that wouldnt make my day that bad afterall! Tsk tsk... This is F*Uped lame!"

I glanced at Halo with the kind of smug attitude and he simply retorted..."I think this will come to u clear as spring shortly. So keep your sanity intact."

OK, now... Seraph started the video, and after some brief static on the tv screen, the image of... WTF... the god damn deceased goat? My uncle was a big man while he's still alive. About six foot three. He was those lucky fellas who managed to pull through the depression and strick it rich with nothing more than his strength and determination, and of coz, some clothes.. :p Anyhow, seeing him again did not light up my mood, instead, it brings me back to the old days where he used to be very strict with me about my table manners and school results. Jeez, how i hate those AssED up days, they blows! Anyway, the old goat was the usual self... at least the usual as i last remembered him to be, with the smoking pipe and the wheezy moustache on his solemn features. I could feel the energy in the room rise...

My uncle looked at me with the confident gaze, cleared his throat and spoke... " Well Pande! (yea, it sounds like panda.. but wateva... he use to laugh at my name) since u're watching this tape now, we will ASSUME that i've kicked the bucket, bit the dust and how do u used to call it in the past... ermm... bought the farm? I neva knew that buying farm was dead.. but i guess to technology geeks like u, buying a farm and being in it is as good as dead.. *laughs* Anyway, i know that my instructions have been followed to the letter, so you are viewing this video with my oldest and dearest friend, Halo, and his trusted sidekick, Seraph. I gotta say... Son, you dont know enough to realize it, but these are two of the finest peple to walk on god's globe!"

I was very absorbed in the video, not because i missed the old geezer or old goat or wateva, but i was waiting for the time he declared that i get at least some share of his pie. My uncle pasued for sometime, relighting his smoke pipe with grace and care...

"Halo, i gotta hand it to ye. U've been so much help all these years, keeping all the hounds and wolves leashed. Law has always fascinated me and it still does now. *snicker* And today, u and Seraph dealt with all my in-laws, out-laws, assorted misfits and ruffian of a family. Oh, and i'm sure pande has given u a really arid time with his predictable actions.*winks*

Now now, this is the last straw, i stood up! Impatient, waiting to take my leave as i felt myself falling into the pits... regardless, something and somehow, i was still hoping to salvage something from this goddamn place... so i cringed to the chair and tried relaxing myself.. at least to a mental state where i can absorb those shits the old goats telling me... And.. the freaking granfather story continues...

"Pande, i lived my life in a big way. I made alot of great accomplishments and also a lot of mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes was to give the family watever they've wanted. It took me many years to find out that everything we ever door know in this life is a gift from the ultimate one. Unfortunately, the money that i spend around me didnt help people to understand the gifts that have been provided to us. To make up for my absence to constitute family together-ness, i gave all of u materials satisfaction instead. In doing so, i've robbed them of everything that makes a life wonderful. That, i'm guilty and would probably bring it with me to my deathbed. Lately, i've pondered and gratefully speaking, i have discovered that i've made peace with my guilt regarding my shortcomings. However, i still think that the family is permanently ruined. *sighz* Its like when a wood goes rotten, u cant carve anything good out if it... I thought of shooting everyone to ease the guilt but sadly, Halo here frowned upon it. *Laughs heartily* You on the other hand, may be the last great vestige of hope in our family. Although your life to date seems to be sorry excuse for anything i would claim promising, there does seem to be some spark of hope in you for i am hoping we can capture and fan into flame. For all tis reason alone, i am not making u an instant millionaire for the rest of your sorry life. *laughs sinisterly!*"

Alright. This was the last straw's last straw! The old goat mocks me even at his death bed! Jeez, y did i even allow my hope runs up for a moment there... the inner me has all sorts of evil words and i am on the verge of bursting them all out for crying out loud! I slammed the fist on the table and was gasping for air to ease myself of this anger... when i was interrupted...

"Now Pande, before you mouth off and embarass both me and yourself in front of these fine people, let me explain the ground rules here. On the 1st of each month for the next year, u will meet with Halo and Seraph and be given an element which i call it fragments of the Ultimate Gift. If u stay for the course over the next year, and embrace each of the elements, at that point of time, you will be the biggest benefitter from my death. But understand this, if u leave or do not perform the things as brought to you by Halo, i have given him the permission to ommit the biggest share of my pie to you. Now dont forget boy, if u turn out to be another rotten block, and be more touble that u're worth, i'll come up from my grave personally and drag your sorry carcass down with me... of course, i dont think this is possible, but i think not inheriting anything should do the trick fer ye!"

There was some silence. The old goat gave a final sigh and a nod, and the video ended. After some silence in the room, i turned to Halo and in a belligerent tone, shouted " THE FUCKING OLD GEEZER MUST BVE SUFFERING FROM SENILE SHITZ! HE's CRAZY! F***KKK!!"

Halo was laughing at my respond and when he resumed his composure, he replied " Well, young man, it is certain that someone is crazy here, and i think that this little project we're suppose to go through is gonna allow us to find out juz who exactly that someone may be." Halo walked over to me and offered his outstretched hand to give me a friendly shake to confirm the deal. Of cuz i fucking ignored him. I hated every fucking piece of this. I dont know if this would be a wild goose chase of a deceased's joke. But if i dont take this up, i'm gonna be left with nothing. AARGGHHHh!!!!

The suspense was killing me! I growled at Halo "Whats the deal here? Y dont u just fucking tell me whats going on and wats in it for me? Alright.. how about this.... PLEASEEEEEeeeeeeeee?"

"All in good time, young man. All in good time." Halo replied in a hushed tone near my ears, with a pat on my shoulders, he left the room, with Seraph trailing behind him.

As he left the room, I blurted out in anger " Y the FUCK didnt the old goat leave me some money like the others? C'mon, at least a 100 bucks for my trouble wont hurt!!! Damnit! This is fucking pathetic!!!!!!!"

And all i could hear was the echo of Halo's laughter from the corridor. He must be thrilled at the "amusement" he caused me. Sighz... this suxxors! Alright, watever comes, will come. I'll do this."

To be continued...(Kenzoids brain is almost dead for wasting so much joules on his bloggy..Zzz someone kill me!)
