Part 10
Google popped up a few links. Some of them were links to Youtube videos. Other links were regular links to websites. One video link caught my eye: How to Kill The Boogeyman In 3 Easy Steps by Dr. Nathaniel T. Doughe.
I clicked on that one.
An old guy sprang into view on my laptop. He was wearing this strange looking hat. He had a bushy beard, mustache and jagged scar across his forehead. It reminded me a bit of Harry Potter’s scar, only bigger. “So…you need the Boogeyman gone? Destroyed? Sent back to Hell? Well you clicked on the right link my friend. My name is Dr. Nathaniel T. Doughe and I will explain in 3 easy steps how to do just that. Free. No charge. Just remember to like this video and click on the follow button. Following my channel will keep you up to date with all the current ways to kill the Boogeyman.”
Yeah! Only 3 easy steps and it was free information. I was extremely happy. The task ahead would be easy and cheap.
Dr. Doughe cleared his throat and continued. “1st step is the most common sense one. One must be prepared to confront the Boogeyman with the right tools and weapons.” He lifted a huge book and showed it to his Youtube followers. It was an aged Bible with rips and what looked like mold growing on the cover. “Much like vampires, Boogymen are extremely scared of the word of God. Any sight of the bible will make them think twice before coming any closer to it. Use it as a shield.
“Another weapon one must have in one’s arsenal is another vampire tool. Holy water. I like to keep my holy water in a squirt gun,” and he picked up a red one from the table and showed it off. Holy water drips were falling from the trigger. “Holy water can be used as a defense or an offense. Depending on the situation,” he said this as he placed the bible and the squirt gun down. He then picked up this shiny jagged dagger and continued “here is the weapon of choice used by every monster hunter. The Dagger of Crom. These weapons were mass produced 10000 years ago. Before the Roman Empire. Closer to the beginnings of the Egyptian empire. Even though the daggers were mass produced only a few remain in existence. And this one “ the doctor brandished the dagger slicing the air with it “is one of the last ones in existence. The Daggers of Crom were enchanted, because of the spells casted upon them by the Shamans of that time. The Boogiemen back then were in abundance. These weapons were highly effective in keeping their population down. “
How am I gonna get a hold of one of those, I thought to myself disappointedly.
