So I wrote this story for a project in school and I thought id share it! Hope you enjoy it.
Why can't I breathe? What's happening? The bag of chips I was holding falls from my trembling hands onto my bedroom floor. I gasp in deep breaths of air. Am I losing my mind? Minutes creep by like hours. Finally, my back falls hitting my soft carpet. I grip the floor and a few tears leave my eyes. What's happening? Is that normal? I don't think that's normal... I'll just keep this to- "Hello there, having trouble are we?" My eyes widen and my back slowly pulls off the floor.
"W-who are you?"
The stranger jumps off my dresser and smiles softly at me. "Your anxiety!"
My eyes widened. I stand up quickly, a bit too quickly and I fall back down. "My what?!"
He sighed looking a little annoyed. "Your anxiety Abella."
I backed up slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know who you are and I definitely don't have anxiety." I stopped walking and stood my ground.
"Ah yes, the stage of denial." He ran his fingers through his short black unkempt hair.
A small gasp left my lips. Who is this guy... "I am not in denial!"
He nodded, looking as if he wanted to burst out laughing at me. "Sure honey, ok, then what was that?" He jabbed his index finger at the ground.
"A glitch in the matrix, a malfunction? God, I don't know!"
This time he let a laugh out and smirked softly. He then nodded and disappeared. "What the [Insert curse word of your choice]." I sat back down on the floor and felt my palm to my forehead. "Just a fever, yep that's all it is..." Denial... A voice in my head said with a chuckle. I screamed internally and laid back on the ground trying to get comfortable but failing miserably.
