out at her daughter. Before she can finish her sentence, she grabs her throat as she is being lifted off the ground. Emily stares at her mother with intensity burning through her retinas. Florida kicks her feet frantically as Emily telepathically strangles her. Ben gawks on in shock and fear. He never believed anything like this could happen but here it was. Right in front of him. Florida was being strangled by an invisible force.

  Michelle doesn't know what Emily wants or has intentions to do and she doesn't plan on waiting around to find out. She rushes to the side of the well and grabs Ben by his forearm. He winces in pain as Michelle pulls him out of the well and to his feet. He drapes his arm around her shoulders as she aids him in walking. He grips his laceration in pain. Blood follows him.

  Michelle helps Ben cross the rift in the ground. Ben and Michelle instinctively turn around to see what was happening to Florida. Emily moves her mom over the well and drops her in. Florida gasps for air as she rises and screams out for mercy. With a swift twist of the wrist the wooden block slides across the opening in the floor covering the well up again. Florida is trapped under the wooden block and Michelle had no intentions on helping her out. As far as Michelle was concerned, Florida deserved everything she got.

  Even after witnessing it, Ben is baffled by what had transpired. Emily rose from the dead to get payback on her assassin. Ben no longer doubted the existence of ghosts. There was one right in front of him. A black portal opens up. Wind and debris start to swirl around the basement. Michelle and Ben squint. Emily is controlling it all.

  The portal widens and swallows the well up whole. Their eyes bulge from their eyes. 'What just happened to Florida?' The couple simultaneously thought. Being locked in a well where she dumped her daughter's body is one thing. But being sucked into some other dimension was more than Michelle or Ben could grasp let alone wish on another person. The portal continues to suck in anything loose. Michelle and Ben have seen what Emily is capable of already. They didn't want to witness it personally. They start to head up the stairs and out of harm's way.

  "Thank-you for releasing me." Emily looks at them and her scary appearance has faded. She stands in front of them like any other innocent young girl. Her hair is brushed and her dress is clean. "Now I can finally rest." In front of their eyes, she turns to a white light and zaps up through the ceiling and to the Heavens.

  The stairs start to rattle and shake violently. "Let's get the hell out of here." Ben exclaims. They run up the stairs and out of the house. The porch crumbles beneath their feet and they are tossed out into the front yard landing hard on their stomachs. They manage to look up at their convulsing house. The portal sucks the porch in. The house makes one last brutal tremor before being devoured into the Earth.

  Michelle and Ben slowly climb to their feet to discover the entire house has disappeared. The only thing left is a small hole where the well used to be. The portal was now gone no longer a threat. Michelle glances at her husband who has a stoic look planted upon him. Neighbors and by-standers have joined them on the grass to stare at the empty space where the house used to stand. In a show of gratitude and appreciation, Ben grabs Michelle into a tight hug thanking her for putting up with his stubbornness. Sirens blared in the background as the emergency personnel sped to aid Ben's wound and tape off the plot of land deeming the area unsafe. As if it weren't unsafe to begin with.
