Genre: Fiction, Action, Horror (Supernatural).
Two Americans inherited a large ranch on Molokai Island in the State
of Hawaii from their Grandfather Cornelius Sheppard, the
Sugarcane-Baron. Reginald, the eldest son, wants to preserve the land
for Archaeology while his cousin, Lucas, just wants to build luxury
homes to sell for profit. Problems arise when Native Hawaiian Burials
are discovered in underground Lava Tubes and caverns, which became
targets for Necromancy - Someone is reanimating the Dead, but who?
Reginald consults his Divine Ancestral Spirits or Aumakua for advice.
Who is the Necromancer behind the recent influx of Zombies and Egyptian
Mummies?
(Pages #40-41):
The Detective wanted
to know our financial papers – Mortgages, receipts for services like
electricity or sewer, Sheppard’s Will. Nothing about the Petroglyphs
even appeared on his breath. So he smiled, said he must have been
wrong, turned around and left. His people left to their cars, drove
around the area for a few times, and went back to their Station. I
called Lucas immediately afterwards, not knowing our cellular line was
bugged, wire-tapped. I noticed a double-beeping each time I called
Lucas, like a listening device was activated on each Hello. This would
be a great time to learn Telepathy.
Lucas was off the grid. Maybe he knew?
I returned to my Suite. The laptop was done downloading. I switched
off the Internet and focused on the Dictionary of Petroglyphs.
One glyph at a time I entered into the scanner. I studied the
arrangement of letters, the sequence of positions. Then I added them
into the AI Processor program already installed on the laptop. Each
line of text was copied. The entire book was in the interface. This may
take time to work. So I placed the laptop in Sleep Mode and I went
jogging on the beach.
The hot white sand drifted
through layers of dunes amid the gentle tides of the ocean. Salty spray
foamed on sea crests, cries of Sea Gulls were like the gossip of birds
in the afternoon Sun. Then, a small metallic object collided into me as
I was enjoying the breezes. It was a tourist’s Drone. A mechanical,
remote-controlled copter with a mounted camera and interpolated lights
flickering at me fell against my jogging suit to the sand below. I hope
it wasn’t expensive. I could buy them another.
Then I noticed something odd. The Drone had a Molokai Police sticker on it. They’re tracking me?!
I ran. I ran as far as I could before I found another one, hovering there against the Palm trees, innocently enough.
I was as guilty as Fudge.
I ran inside the nearest Convenience Store. Did I carry money? I was
still on my Ranch, just in the Township section. All expenses are
prepaid. I just show my identity and that’s it.
I bought an aluminum baseball bat and a Sea Net for catching seafood.
