The Bishop's Alley

The Bishop's alley

All the answers will be revealed when time passes or when the time stops. 


A girl in her mid 20’s named Eliza started walking back from work when she met this strange rally. The reason for this rally is unknown and the people in this are kinda weird and creepy…….. 


They wore some kind of costumes, “they were probably from a cult”. That's what she thought and started passing by them but suddenly they all stopped and looked at Eliza, like they were so happy to see and started singing some song. She didn't really understand the meaning of the song or the way they were dancing. But she can clearly see they are happy. 


At some point she got scared but those people didn't come near Eliza, so she started walking away from them. She took a shortcut which she never takes but today she had to because it really feels weird among these people.


After walking for another five minutes Eliza came across this dark alley “The Bishop alley”. She heard about this alley already, but she doesn't know the exact reason why it keeps everyone away. Some say this is haunted, some say it's just a baseless story. By looking at it she did get scared but this is the only way she has now to go home. The other one is blocked because of the rally . 


By keeping all her other thoughts aside she started entering the alley, but alas she failed to notice a board hanging there which says “Don't enter, Danger zone. If you go in, there is no coming back alive” Below that it was written “Missing: 25 ; Deaths: 74”.


Few days later, people were chattering “Did you hear that another person went missing near the Bishop alley?” “Oh really!! when did this happen?” another one asked “ It happened a few days ago, this time a girl went missing” then,The other one replied. “Oh poor girl I hope she's safe”.


An old man was listening to all this conversation and thought to himself “till now there were 26 missing cases and 74 death cases, so the evil has risen. The old man is the one who knows everything about the alley and its mysterious deaths. 


While the old man was talking to himself, that's when I was passing by him and heard everything. “So he knows everything” I thought to myself and went to him and asked “ What do you know about this? Please tell me , my friend was the one who went missing a few days ago. How can I find her and get her back? please, tell me.”


The old man looked at me glaring and said “why would I tell you? And I know nothing about it”.You requested him again “ Please Sir, tell me. I'll pay money if you want it. But please tell me how I can get back my friend?.”


He said looking at “ I'm trying to save your life and you are trying to risk it !! Listen kid, your friend can't come back. She might be dead till now.” By hearing that I broke down, as I already knew she would not come back but I had this little hope that maybe I can get her back. I again asked him “ Can you at least tell me the story of the alley?”.


The old man nodded and started saying the story “ This started around a century ago, There was a man named John Bishop; he used to pray to the devil and wanted all the powers of the devil. Later he started a cult because he alone can't impress the devil, he needs more people to pray for the devil and to make them prey to the devil.”


“Once the devil came in his dream and said that if you give me 113 human souls you'll have all the power you need. John started doing as he was told to. He killed 13 people and gave their souls to the devil but the people of the town found out about it. They all came together and one night they burned down the house of John while John was still inside.”


“Though John's body was burned his soul wasn't, his new house is the alley that's why it's called Bishop's alley. He started killing and hunting the people who passed through it, some bodies were found and some went missing but the souls were delivered to the devil. Once all 113 souls are delivered the JOHN BISHOP will return again, to prove his power and make earth a living hell. It is said that the people see a rally that leads them to the alley but the rally is the cult that Bishop led.”


After listening to the whole story I asked him “till now how many souls are offered to the devil, sir?” The old man replied “113, all the souls are offered to him. Nothing can stop him now, he'll come and take his revenge”. I got scared and asked him “ Is there any way we can escape the mishap ?” He replied “ If you want to live, go away from this place and never come back” That's what he said and I again asked him “How do you know about this?” Before he could answer, someone called me. I turned back to see who was calling me but there was no one.

Again when I turned back to the old man he was not there but on the side of the wall I saw something which made my heart tremble in fear. There was a picture of an old man on the wall and below it was written as “David Bishop”, brother of John Bishop. He was the same person I was talking to sometime ago. Turns out David was the first prey of John…….


But am I ready for what's in the future?
