Once Zephyr was in the bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror while making up conspiracy theories about him, he noticed the room going dark. It wasn't dark like if all the lights turned off suddenly, it was more like the light was slowly fading away. Still scared, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach which made him throw up all what he had eaten before. His throat was burning from the acid reflux. That bitter taste. So powerless, sitting by the toilet.
Without thinking about it twice, he got up, feeling much better after letting everything go. It felt like hours inside that bathroom, when it didn't take more than 5 minutes. Every minute the environment would turn a shade darker. As he came out of the bathroom, the nurse was still waiting for him. "Are you okay?" She asked before sitting Zephyr back in the bed. "Everything is fine.", He said, it was obviously a lie, but he was so used to lying about how he truly felt that he didn't care anymore about telling the truth. He thought no one would care, not even the nurse who was there for helping him out.
The courts ins were closed but the light was on. Yet it didn't look like it. Everything was getting darker and darker. He wasn't feeling his body anymore. The child blinked once more and the room was suddenly lighten up, it was like magic. It only took him a few seconds to notice that he was not alone. But the room was empty. How could this be?
The phone started ringing, it could be heard all over the room as if the sound was coming from every corner instead of just the phone. As Zephyr leaned over to pick up the phone, he noticed something strange coming from under the bed. Before he could turn around, something touched him from behind. Paralyzed by fear once again, he managed to look back since a soft female voice was talking to him, yet in a strange language he didn't know about. "Memento mori" was the only thing he was able to understand. He learned it from a youtube channel created back in 2019 called Unus Annus. This channel was deleted in 2020 but some people downloaded the content and re-uploaded it so future generations like Zephyr's could see their videos. Suddenly that soft voice and pale looking woman melted away. Her eyes started melting inside the eye sockets. Then the skin, dripping away revealing the skeleton. Before he could notice, really weird and scary creatures were literally coming out from under the bed. They just stayed around, thousands of eyes, staring back of the poor souls who just wanted to live in peace once and for all. Seconds after, a doctor entered the room with a dagger and approached Zephyr. They look each other dead in the eye, until the doctor lifted the dagger. Zephyr was completely paralyzed he couldn't move any single muscle. Then the doctor stabbed Zephyr as hard as he could in the chest. The sound of the blade in between his ribs, the blood pouring from the wound as the doctor kept stabbing again and again and again. Zephyr was unable to move or scream. He felt possessed. Tied up. The room which got lighten up was staring to fade away fast. How heart stopped beating. He stopped breathing. Then he woke up.
