Sight

Chapter 2

Demon, demonist and death.
......

I blink for what it seems a hundred times or maybe even more. I desperately want the monsters to disappear to wherever hell they came from. But no amount of conviction can do that. The more I try to tell myself that they are just figments of my imagination the more they become freakin' real to my mundane eyes. I would gladly give myself a good pinch but the burning in my exposed skin suffices the action. I close my eyes. Waking is the only worthy escape I can muster in my situation. If it's only just a dreadful dream. Please just let me wake up already!

No! I cry helplessly. I don't want to be with the hideous creatures. I don't want to be here. I want a quiet dinner with my family. Oh god! This isn't what I wished for, I only want to get away from the monotony but this is one crazy shit. I want it undone, if it got to do with that stupid birthday wish.

A tagging feeling forces me to open my eyes. It's as if I am drawn to the monsters. Without knowing, my foot step towards them and a deep throaty sound greets my ears. I catch the sight of a humongous frog like creatures with six big eyes each with dark irises that keeps focusing on different directions. They are hopping around in circles, catching the thousand swarming flies with their long tongues. My stomach squirms in retaliation.

I lick my drying lips, ball my fists and turn to a different direction. It's not a good idea though, there are more murderous looking monsters that way. One is the goat like creature that stands on two feet. It's a creature I only read in fairy tales and those stories never mention them being covered in fleshy wounds. I gag as the smell of rotten meat fills my nostrils, the wounds of the goat was feasted by maggots the size of my thumb. I almost throw up when suddenly the goat raises its hand to pick one of the maggots on its face and pop it on its mouth and chew. The juices of the maggot run down the side of the goat's mouth.Ugh! I couldn't help cringe. I clench my arms tighter to my stomach making its contents stay where it is. And once again, I divert my gaze to the opposite direction.

There's no escaping the monsters they are in every direction. Another set of monsters are within my view, a flock of black shadow like creatures. They are as black as the night sky when the stars are in hiding. The only thing not black on them are their big hollow white eyes.

I inhale deeply as beads of sweat starts to cover my whole body. Panic, building from my insides, my breathing becomes ragged and I cast my eyes upward to meet the sky.  To my disappointments, I'm only greeted by hundred flying creatures. There are dragons on the sky! And hundreds of other creatures that I my mind couldn't comprehend anymore.

The rotten smell in the air began to mix with burnt flesh. My hand instinctively covers my mouth extending to my nose. The monsters haven't notice me yet and I want it to stay that way. I try to stop the uncontrollable shaking of my body but my brain won't listen to anything I say. And the many times I tried and failed I still close my eyes. I count silently and hope that maybe this last time something will happen. One.Two.Three.Four.Five...Fifty nine.Sixty.

The cat starts hissing, it's still in my leg. It began to panic at something. I peer my eyes open and the horrors just keeps coming. The monsters have already learned about my presence, hundred pairs of hungery eyes dart to my direction. I stifle a cry, keeping a brave face. I don't want to die yet! I don't want to get eaten alive!

Move! NOW! JUST FUCKING MOVE! It's no use at all. Why? Why won't you listen to me! My heart races like a horse galloping a million miles per hour. I don't want to die! Oh my god! This is not what I want! Please, God help me! I pray over and over in my head. I would resort into anything just to get out of this nightmare I am in. I won't even get mad if cameras starts popping out of nowhere to announce a stupid joke, anything is better than what I have. Hear me God please!
