'You tried your best did you not'? Swami shook his head and asked Mano to arrange  his travel.'I will be in touch with you,Quinn.'Bye,Swami.Quinn left with full of disappointment in his heart.'This guy said that he would cure everything?' Quinn thought to himself. Quinn was perplexed. 'Oh, well, I 'd better call Steve now.' 'Hello? Is this Steve'?' 'Yes,Quinn, How is India?' 'Steve, this guy,Swami has now asked me to go back to the states? What on earth is happening? Things have got worse and I don't wanna be at home. I am scared,Steve'. 'I don't have answers for you,Steve'. 'I'll be there in the next three days. I 'll meet you'. 'OK, Quinn, take care.'

Quinn went to his hotel room and undressed and took a bath. He came to  bed and switched on the TV. There were a bunch of Indian regional channels and he wasn't interested. He switched off the TV. Quinn closed his eyes and ---------

'Okay, Alright. Am I gonna be fine from now?' 'This doesn't allow you anything to near you, I mean any bad spirit, OK? Stay strong young man, you will be fine' 'I hope so' nodded Quinn. 'How long am gonna be here'? 'Priest Steve would have already told you the plan.. 'Yeah. He did tell me'. He told me that you were gonna perform some ritual and then I could leave after you are finished. 'Yes. that's right. so you already knew,didn't you? 'But i wasn't clear,that's why I asked you'.'Don't worry. I have a person to look after you. He's my assistant Mano. Mano was short man with a small face and a thin body. He will take care of you, just in case you need anything. 'Alright. I am leaving to my hotel. Thanks for your help Swami'. 'No. Wait, I want to talk to you. Do want to know what happened to you? Quinn shook his head 'Not again, swami. You said I am a victim of black magic. Is that it?' 'No son. You are possessed by some weird evil spirits.' ' what the heck? I don't believe it' Quinn couldn't believe what Swami told him. 'Calm down son. Come with me. That's why I called you here to India. I'll take it out of your body and send you back.' 'Is this some kind of exorcism'? 'Not exactly' said Swami. You relax now. 'Go and have some fun if you want.' Quinn left the place confused. Quinn spend the rest if the day shopping with Mano and finally left to his hotel room. The time was 11:00 pm in the night. He was tired and he slept immediately. The time was 12:20AM. Quinn woke up all of a sudden with his body itching very badly. 'Oh. God what's wrong. I am itching like crazy'. 'Oh. God, save me'. Quinn woke up from his bed and went and stood in front of a mirror in the room to take a look at his body.

Quinn saw his body his back which had a lot of pimples. He suddenly saw an image moving in the mirror. 'What the?' Quinn was shocked. He took a close look at the mirror. He now saw a weird shadow that was approaching him. Oh God 'No.......'

Episode 05- Welcome to India

‘Welcome back, son!’ said Swami with a smirk on his face. Quinn was puzzled  and though to himself ‘Looks like this guy has been expecting me’. ‘Yes, Swami, help me out. Weird things are happening with me’. ‘Don’t worry son. Everything is going to be fine.’  ‘But how’? argued Quinn. I need you to come with me to India. ‘No way’  ‘I have a lot of things to do. Can’t you suggest something in here’? ‘Well for your case, it is not possible, Quinn. I will make you fine and send you back here. ‘Ok. I’ll let you know.’ ‘Ok. Son I am leaving tomorrow to India. ‘Expecting you in India, son.’  ‘Ok, Swami. Give me the details. I will meet you there’. ‘Good for you’ said Swami and smiled.

After one month, Quinn was in the International terminal at the MIA. It was Quinn’s first time to India. He was not happy going to India. I will get his problem sorted and return as soon as possible, he thought. He reached the Chennai International airport in India. Some of Swami’s followers came to receive Quinn. They had a sign board Welcome- Joseph Quinn -Miami. He saw the signboard and called Swami and confirmed. He was taken in a car to one of Swami’s ashrams in Chennai.

‘There you are. Happy to see you in India, son’ welcomed Swami. Quinn smiled at Swami and said ‘ I hope to clear up things and leave as soon as possible’. ‘Tell me, what’s to be –
Swami stopped him ‘Son, you have been cursed and you right now are a huge victim of black magic. I can explain it to you.  Just answer my questions. ‘Have you not been able to sleep well lately?’ ‘Yes’ ‘are you tired all the time’? ‘Do you get frightened by things that you would never be frightened of’? ‘Yes’. ‘Then black magic it is, Quinn’. Quinn looked terrified ‘But I have never done bad things to others’.  ‘Quinn, people who do not like you or who are jealous of you would have done it. ‘Now, what do we do’? was the question from Quinn.

Swami stood up and gave him a holy rope to tie on his hand. ‘Do I really need this, Swami?’
‘Yes, you do’. He tied the rope on his hand and asked him not to remove it.

                                  Episode 4: Blood curdling-night

Here it is. Quinn and Joe were awake till midnight and they waited for  the symptoms that Quinn said. Since they had beer and were tired; they were asleep by 12:30. Everything was calm. The time was 2:30 AM. Quinn could hear a child;  a girl  who was squalling. He looked at his watch. The time was 2:40. He gave a sign of relief. This mustn't be something that I am looking for, he thought. After a while, there was a shadow that cross him in the dark. He screamed so loud that Joe woke up immediately. "What's it with you, dude. You freaked me out!". Quinn was sweating. He was trembling. Joe jumped out of his bed and asked him "What is it?" Quinn said "I think I saw something". Joe said "Come on man, there is nothing. You need medical assistance." "No,Joe. I can prove it to you". "But How?"Joe asked.

Quinn explained the plan to Joe - just the same plan  that is implemented in the movie 'paranormal activity'. Joe shouted at Quinn "Cut the crap, man. You are just imagining things.Just sleep,dude. We have work to do in the morning". They slept. The time was 3:00 in the morning. Joe fell down from the bed. "OMG.Did you push me out of the bed, man?" asked Joe who was still lying on the floor. There was no response. Joe stood up and found Quinn sleeping. This damn guy is sleeping and Joe saw a shadow moving right before him. He screamed "Ooooooooooooaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Quinn woke up and asked "What is it?". Now, Joe was trembling. Quinn giggled, "You got me ,now bud?". "Shut up, Quinn". "I need a beer" "Now?"asked Quinn "Yes,now!" Quinn got out of the bed and went to the fridge to get a beer. "What the heck is that?" asked Joe who was scared to death. 

Quinn looked and it was full of pimples on his right feet. Quinn was frightened and decided to go to Swami, the next morning. "Let's go to the doc, first thing in the morning" said Joe.
