"You shall not fear death; it's a natural part of life, one goes in and one goes out."
This has been going on in my head for a while now since that professor told me about it. It wouldn't stop bothering me so I looked more into the idea of death and it made me wonder many questions about life. "What is our purpose here?", "Is there a way to escape death?", "Is it possible to know how this world even happened?". These are the questions that itches me all the time.
A sudden loud noise made me startled, it sounded like a loud shout.
"Mr. Max Thompson, why are you sleeping in my classroom? If this happens again, you'll be suspended from my class."
"I'm sorry professor, I couldn't sleep yesterday since something occurred. I promise that this will never happen again."
Of course I was lying. In reality, I was just bored from listening to his lecture. I just made an excuse because I didn't want to ruin my reputation from other people since they knew me as the "clever, and nice kid."
"Tick... tock... tick.... tock...", I stared at the clock throughout the entire class because it was more amusing than the lecture itself. Oh how the time grew so slowly, it was like a slow and painful death.
Finally! School is over, which felt like the longest hour of my life. I quickly rushed to get back to my place.
While I was running, I accidentally bumped into a mysterious dude with a black hoodie. I couldn't tell what he looked like because his face was covered with a dark mask and thick glasses. Though, one thing I could tell is that I sense a very weird energy from him, it was the same energy that I felt when I nearly fell off of a mountain cliff. I had a very bad feeling about this.
"The bats have came to take us and demolish us.", he randomly whispered in a deep monotone voice then left.
I got left dumbfounded, I didn't know what just happened. I didn't even get to apologize for bumping into him. I thought nothing of it and just went to walk back to my place.
On the way to my apartment, I randomly felt a little something that was behind me that kept following me. But when I turned around, there was nothing there. I got really anxious.
After an exhausting walk, I finally reached my destination. I live in an apartment, I live alone but sometimes my boyfriend comes here and stays with me for the night.
Aiden Parker is his name, A 6'2 buff guy. He has long, black, messy hair and wears glasses, he has the perfect body with abs like bread rolls and has wide shoulders. He's the type to wear cool, tight outfits, the one that gives an "I don't care" attitude, he may look like a player but he's a very loyal, and nice person. I can't believe I even had the chance to date him, if felt like I won the lottery. I would describe him as the most perfect man in the world. I love him a lot!
My bestfriend also comes to my apartment from time to time. Ashley Davis, she has a great sense of humor and she's one of the most funniest people I know! She has a great personality that can cheer anyone up. She's a 5'6 brunette with pretty brown eyes, she has a cutesy style and has a great fashion sense.
They're both one of the most important people in my life. Unfortunately, my family and I grew apart because of a major argument, so I decided to leave them and cut every connection I had with them.
Anyways, enough of that, I felt alone in my apartment so I called Aiden and let him go to my place. When I was waiting for him, I saw a black shadow in the corner of the room, it was like a person-- What does it want? What does it need? The shadow tries to come to me and I couldn't do anything.
"Hey Max, Max! Are you okay? I'm here now.", my boyfriend belted.
I flinched by the sight of seeing him. The shadow, I thought it was real. I guess I was just spacing out from all of my work, I'm really tired. I asked Aiden to sleep with me. He agreed, we decided to do a little bit more than sleep though. I guess I would say that it was a "fun and exciting night."
Though, the fun ends after, I couldn't sleep at all. I tried to grasp everything that happened today, I kept remembering about what the man said and kept trying to figure out what it meant and what it symbolizes. My boyfriend woke up and noticed that I was feeling discomfort. He was checking if I was okay, I was glad that I got to stay with him for today. He really tries to remove the tense and negativity around me and made me feel at ease as best as he can.
After taking the words into consideration, I think the man was just saying some bullshit, atleast I hope so. The way he described it was frightening. Let's just hope that it didn't mean anything.
I tried to hug Aiden so I could feel his warmth all over my body. He was sweating all over his body, his neck, his arms, his abs, everywhere he was sweating. He was so hot, literally and figuratively. He hugged me back and we kissed all over each other. Thankfully, it helped him and me to sleep. I had forgotten all of my thoughts and calmed down.
Little did I know, this day was just the beginning of many upcoming nightmares.
