Here I am; standing in front of the tall, gloomy and sinister-looking building (who's ten times bigger than me), being wrapped around by a long pair of dull; lifeless and never-ending deadly branches covering in from head to toe. Almost as if it was suffocating the house itself! These branches looked more like a pair of hands being elongated, to captivate anyone who dares to come here, by creating an unwelcoming and gloomy atmosphere rather than a warm and welcoming one.
The mansion, or perhaps should I say the grotesque looking figure who's striving to turn my nightmares into reality?
The house looked abandoned and lifeless and uncared. Suddenly something caught my attention. The windows were all boarded up as if what was inside was too terrible to see. But that won't stop me from finding out who lives inside it.
And as always the curiosity got the best of me...
I walked towards the forbidden place, being surrounded by an endless chain of a long brittle fence, shielding the house and acting as its guardian angel. I started getting closer to it until an unbearable; rusty; metallic scent hit my nose, making me feel nauseous. It was at this point where I was about to throw up, but I endured the discomfort; stayed resilient till I surpassed the fence, making my way towards the door.
As I was walking, my eyes were swaying from side to side in search of any clue of where I was. But all I could see was a garden full of lifeless plants, and those who still managed to survive were bound to die sooner or later...Dying in a slow and painless death.
At least it's better to die in a painless death, rather than suffering in agony right?
Once I reached the handle of the door, I pushed while making an involuntary jump behind as the wooden door opened with a clicking sound, followed by continuous creaks, forcing myself to cover up my ears before that bloody sound turns me deaf.
I stood there silently, as my mind was flooded with millions of questions, where they soon shifted into transforming themself into a box. Releasing all of my insecurities and fears as my heart was beating wildly.
The atmosphere was so intense that I could feel my heart beating a range of never-ending percussive in every single pound of my chest. It started pounding faster and faster until I could hear a non-stop percussive of drum rolls, not only through my ears but also feel it through the veins in my throat. It might sound disgusting to you but not going to lie it was an amazing yet an awful experience...
Soon it started raining, a drop followed by another until an ocean of sadness was formed leaving me soaked from top to toe. Washing away all strength and filling me up with fears and insecurities.
A flash of lightning struck shining so bright, clearing the sky, but obviously, that was just temporary. It was so bright that I had to cover my eyes with both of my swollen hands, preventing it from blinding me completely. Then covering my ears quickly as soon as the light vanished followed by a loud banging noise.
The unsupportable banging noise started to increase as my vision started to become hazier. I ended up falling as my legs became weaker, unable to support me and eventually I ended up getting a bruised arm.
<< Alysia! Wake up! >> - said a familiar voice as it kept ringing in my ears. I looked around with eyes full of hope...but no one was there. It was only me, the house and the complete silence...
