          A cold pavement where my body lay down, the water drips from the ceiling, darkness is what I met in my sight, and silence also from what I heard, I have been here not too long ago after I woke up in this unknown  room..

         I was repearing my car in the middle of the road, I take this shortcut it was the shortest way to my hometown it was already night, the wind blows so cold touching my skin, but it wasn't that all.. When someone bashed their unknown weapon to my head causing me to bloody faint and now I'm here confusing what do they want from me..

       My rain of thoughts was sudden interrupted by the spotlight aiming at the floor, i see a woman her head was lowered until a music came to play she began to dance in a ballerina way, the sound of a music is seems to be what kids love's to listen every time they go to sleep, music box to be exact and her dancing skills is what I got amazed it is mixed in emotions..

       She began to moved forward to me while spinning around not until... She looked at me with those dull eyes like she was already dead for some reason, as she cupped my cheeks with her own hands, the cold sensation ran through to my spine as I noticed a pair of strings attached to her hands, head, and her legs as the music plays the tension of this eerie feelings is becoming worse, the calm tone of the music box slowly becoming into a violent way make someone gonna drive insane, she pushed me causing me to fall on my butt..

    
      I began to crawl away from her while she's still dancing around, someome is watching me.. I need to get out of this hell, when my back hits the wall enough for me to stand up...

     And I desperately roaming my hands around the wall in any case I can touch some Metallic object nor wooden wall that can be guessed as a door, and so on the music became worse and worsen, her moves turned into a horror where her body reached its limits I can hear her cracking bones....

      As if on cue I felt a round metallic object that supposed to be a doorknob and a wooden wall that can be guessed a door I don't have time to waste I twist the doorknob to my surprise it's not locked I began to open the door a light shone to my sight when i turned back... a horror from what my eyes can see... the woman who was dancing around was... eaten by a 10 feet old woman, she was smiling at me showing those razor teeth while chewing some flesh that supposed came from the dancer, but that's not all she began to jumped at me....

       I was ready for the menu but for what to my surprise my adrenaline came to the rescue as my body began to move quickly and closed the door, that monster hit her head to the door almost destroying it, I ran away..

         I looked around to be seems i'm at the forest where I can see the road as I looked back is where some old abandoned warehouse, I looked at the window where the old woman staring at me in my very own soul, I ran away to the road when I noticed my car is on the other side but what kind is that woman was? I decided to forget it all and continued to repair my car, luckily I done it in time before the sunset...

         I drove away from that place wishing to not to take another shortcut again
