It was a typical day here in the city! The sun was out, the sky was
blue, and people were all OVER the place. Suddenly, there was a bright flash
of light, but it faded into darkness. Standing in the middle of Who Knows
Where, I heard a faint cry in the distance. A kid? No, it can't
be... But even so, I couldn't control my legs, and where they took me
was towards the sound. Shit! What if I run into some giant man eating
creature? As far as I knew at that time, there was nothing but me in the
pitch black space here. Squinting to see where the hell I'm going, I saw it!
An exit! In the distance there was a speck of light shining through.
THAT was it! THAT'S where I'm headed, and THAT'S where I'll get outta
here! Panting, I reached my destination.
As I neared the opening where light shed itself, smoke began to rise
behind me. The smoke acted as if it was a pair of hands and lifted me up so
I'm off the ground. Grey fog came in and surrounded me, It's cold.
It was like torture when the smoke squeezed me. I couldn't breath. I couldn't
move.
*b-b-b-beep* *b-b-b-beep* *b-b-b-beep* Holy shit! It's morning
ALREADY? Still lifeless, I struggled to get out of bed, and I got up to
my feet and went to the bathroom to do my morning duties. Breakfast, which
apparently was on the table, was cold from waiting for me to come downstairs.
Well, that's what microwaves are for. So, off to school I went! Time
passes by when you're not paying attention and listening to music you
weren't supposed to bring but brought anyways, as long as you stare at the
front of the class and cover your eyes, no one will ever notice. School ends
at 3:45 and all of us run out the doors before the teachers find out that you
weren't there at dismissal. It should be illegal to let pushovers become
teachers, how do they even SURVIVE in this world is what I want to
know.
So, I was on the way home when something in a store window display caught
my eye. It was a silver brooch with gold setting and a blue semiprecious
stone. Next thing I knew, I was at the counter paying for it. God damn.
I'm a guy! What am I supposed to do with this? But I got to admit, it
was kind of pretty.
When I got back home I was horrified. The house was a mess! Claw marks
were everywhere---on the trees, on the wall, the windows shattered, and
hey at least the grass is trimmed. I slowly, in terror, walked down
the stone path that leads to the door just to find... there was no door.
What the hell happened here? Someone, or something, must have torn
it down for the obvious display of jacked up hinges. Shit! Well, I know
assassinators wouldn't be THIS obvious,,,
Through the door, what I saw was horrifying. Even worse than what you see
in rated R films. Yes, the furniture was torn up, the cabinets and tables
were broken, the chairs were chewed up, dishes were cracked and thrown all
over the place, the fridge was raided literally and dumped at the bottom of
the stairway. But do I CARE about all that? I DON'T THINK SO; right in front
of me, on the used-to-be white carpet, was the body of my older sister.
Torn from limb to limb, blood and flesh was all over the
place. UNBELIEIVABLE. How could this HAPPEN?
I slowly managed to bring myself to my senses and looked for the phone. I
ended up going into my sister's room to see if she left her cell phone there.
Just as I came into the room, I see this...this HUGE creature scouring for
more food, I thought I should go hide, but, that would be no use. It saw me.
To my surprise, it cautiously came over to me, like somebody might if they
saw some unusual piece of clothing. But that wasn't it. Struck by terror, I
couldn't bring myself to fight him. Nor would I be able to; hunched over on
its hands and knees, it just fit in the room. I wonder how it came in the
door...
Some stories don't end happily, but hopefully I live.
To be continued...
