All I see is darkness, but what they will see is much more than darkness many even worse then hell. The man pulls out the raf that was in my mouth and puts in a gag, making it harder for me to breath steadily. He walks away and closes the door behind him, i quickly pulll out the razor the was stuffed in my back pocket, he never even realized that I had any weapons because he’s not experienced at this I can tell it’s his first or second time. As I hold the razor at the right angle, I get an accurate cut to release the rope from my wrists. I roll my wrists around to relief my joint pain, now the only thing I have left to do is cut the rope off from my ankles. “Slice” they quietly dropped on the floor. I quickly sprinted to the door to lock it, think of it as an extra precaution. I look around to find a window just barely big enough for me to slide out from. I open it and slide out of the window. He then starts banging on the door trying to break it open, i turn around and realized that I hadn’t taken off the gage yet, I was so focused that my brain didn’t care at the time. I unlatch it and throw it in the bushes, then I run off. After I got home I took extra precautions since then. But I was never really afraid because now he’s in jail, because police tracked my location while I was in the room and arrested him.
Every morning when I wake up I look in the mirror always imagining my face being melted by candles as demons are holding them. I can even feel the burning sensation pulsing through my skin, I accidentally slip out a tiny squeal. I hop back in bed and curl the pillow in my face so I don’t have to look in the mirror every day. I have this bad disorder where I oulll my hair out due to stress I try to distract myself by listening to my clock ticking but nothing is helping so I just deal with the fact that it’s never going to improve. I fall back asleep always anticipating looking back into the mirror.
I grab my sisters hand and pull her towards the cliff edge with me. She nods slowly in my direction. Then we jump, we both wanted this for a while to have our skulls crushed as we collide with the ground. As we fall our dresses fly through the wind wanting to go back to the way it was. As we get closer to the ground we see spikes that grew up from the ground, i close my eyes and squeeze my sisters hand then take one last final deep breath as the spikes went through my torso making my heart stop beating. Blood spurts out of my mouth as I twitch. My eyes flicker until the light goes out. I’m now in heaven but I don’t know where to go, I have an angel guide me through the long hallway until she pushes me through this apartment that I am going to be lonely in. I jump in the bed and never came out of the room. I slept until my soul vanished from heaven where I was nothing but the wind.
A memory my mind will cherish forever is when me and my grandma where at a park, I looked over to my right to see the most beautiful sparkling reflection beaming off from the water. It was so mesmerizing to look at, I’ve realized that this memory will forever ever be sentimental to me from then and now. Even though my grandma passed away after this memory, to be more precise seven years. I’ve come to live with terms that not everything can stay the way you want them to, but if you move on the more you begin to realize that you don’t need to cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Every moment I spent with her was a memory I couldn’t remember.
Every Wednesday night our family plays uno no mercy. It’s been in our family for many generations and we continue the tradition. As I separate the deck evenly between us I set the final deck in the middle of the table to start the game. The first card on the table is a red one, so I place a red four card. I notice a shadow in the hallway coming closer and closer as each one of us place down a red card. I start to become very anxious, then someone lays down a plus four and chooses red, which doesn’t change anything since we were already playing red. I place down a red eight and see the shadow again, it comes behind jade and twists her neck. She slumps in her chair with no pulse, I quickly took everyone’s cards and shuffled them and put them back in the box where they were and threw them in the fireplace to watch them burn. Our family started a new tradition with another uno game that has a little mercy.
I’ve always wondered what was beyond the boarded up walls at the end of my street. Every afternoon I always get my favorite ice cream from the ice cream truck it’s a strawberry cheesecake pop. The man always gives me a discount since I’m one of his loyal customers. As I’m eating my delicious Icecream I walk down the street thinking of what scenarios will happen once I tear through the wooden planks. I stop in front of the door way and spot a axe by the side of the wooden rocking chair. I pick it up and this a few swings until the door way wasn’t boarded up anymore. I walk down the eerie dark hallway, I see a room with glowing blue lights shining out. I peek my head in the room and see a old man with grey hair with a hunched back standing in front of a shelf with preserved jars full of hands. My eyes widen with shock as my chest felt heavier my breathing was getting faster. The man turned around and grinned at me with his black eyes, I closed the door and sprinted out of the house leaving the half eaten ice cream on the wooden floor board. I ran back to my house and became non verbal whenever my parents talked to me. Ever since that situation happened I never spoke again.
The crickets chirping, wolfs howling, I wonder if there is more beyond than what meets the eye. What if aliens are real? Them abducting you in the dead of night as there long creepy fingers cover your mouth so you don’t scream. Or what if they preserve us in jars full of mysterious yellow liquid after they kill us. We will never know unless we try to find them in the dead of night.
I’m wondering if I’ll ever find a way out of this icy abandoned cave, I’ve been stuck here for days ever since the huge ice capsules collapsed in the entry way. They won’t melt or budge to move. Time is running out, I ran out of food it’s only a matter of time before I become a skeleton covered is ice. I hope somebody will find me.
