I found a movie called "Repeat" when walking home from school. It's in an old homemade VHS case. Can you believe that? Who has VHS tapes anymore?
I tucked it under my sweater it's the itchy one mom makes me wear. I don't know why. It's not even that cold.
I make it back home. And head into the attic the tape still hidden in my sweater. I rummage through mom's boxes, the ones marked "80s" and "90s", she should have a VHS player still.
The dust blows around a chill runs down my spine. I pull the sweater tighter against my body. Something catches my eye and I dig it out. There it was, the VHS player. Dusty and forgotten with time. I blow on it and dust it off. I lug it downstairs nearly tripping. Goddammit this thing is heavy as hell. I find some way to plug it in nearly zapping myself.
I slide it from the box, it's had something written on the label in red marker but it's been smudged off.
I slide it in and press play. The screen goes static screech it's unholy symphony in my ears. I dive bomb for the remote. As I grab the cold plastic in my hand, the tv cuts to black. I look up. Bright lights flash before me. My eyes burn and tear up. I yelp and can't pull away. It's like I'm paralyzed. It chants a secret language at me. I'm floating.. I'm floating... the blackness is warm.
