Dial - Season 1 - Episode 124

Why was he here? Was he here to gloat, to find a perverse and sick macabre pleasure in my torture?

“Is this what you wanted?” I asked the spectral figure of Nana b0s0mba in a face that was shaking with fear at the horror approaching me. “Are you entertained, Nana b0s0mba?”

No one could see the ghostly figure except me, and so many thought, quite erroneously, that I was addressing the royal princess.
She evidently thought so too, because she gasped, and then her eyes dropped to her hands.

The man with the horrible leather drew back his hand, and then he grunted as he brought metal-studded leather lash crashing into my bare back. I looked defiantly at the ghostly figure of Nana b0s0mba, and I saw him slashing the air with his hand just before the leather landed on my back.
I opened my eyes wide as I felt the strike on my back…because it felt like a feather was being used to tickle my back!
However, I heard a loud scream of anguish behind me, and suddenly the huge man who had given me the lash lurched past me, and I saw that his back was covered with blood!
There was a startled gasp all around!
Okomfo Basabasa was screaming, calling another man forward!
A second man picked up the leather strap, stepped back, and la!d it across my back with all the strength he could gather.
Again, the spectral figure of Nana b0s0mba slashed the air, and I felt a slight tickle on the back of my back, followed by the painful bellow of the man behind me as he dropped the leather strap and grabbed at his bleeding back!
Nana b0s0mba, incredibly, was reversing the effects of the lashes back to the people trying to lash me!
I stared at him with sudden misunderstanding written all over my face!
What was he doing?
Why was he doing this?
With an angry bellow Okomfo Basabasa picked up the leather strap and walked behind me, evidently meaning to deliver the lashes himself. And that was when he paused suddenly, his eyes opening wide as he also saw the angry-looking face of Nana b0s0mba standing just in front of me!
Evidently, Okomfo Basabasa had enough powers of his own to perceive Nana b0s0mba!
“Ayieeeeeeee!” Okomfo Basabasa shouted, his face filled with a fear so complete that I couldn’t stop myself from giggling. “Ayiiiiiiiiiiiii! Ayiiiiieeeeeee! b0s0mba Nana, is that you? Have I crossed you? Ayiiiiiiiiii! Ayieeeeeeeeee! What do you want with me, b0s0mba Nana? Why have you crossed the space to face me, b0s0mba Nana? Awoooooo!! I have no quarrel with you, b0s0mba Nana! Ashooooo!”
And I began to laugh then.
“Koshia!” I said with a really mean spirit, totally enjoying his fear. “Now you get WoWoed, aboa like that!”
