Screams echo in my head as I return to the land of bleak yet terrifying consciousness. Another nightmare. What even is this place?
Alex.
I turn around quickly. Someone whispered my name.
But there's no one there.
Alex.
There it is again. But this time I notice the echo. I realise that no matter which side I face, it'll sound like it's just out of my view.
It must be a memory.
Alex.
It sounds familiar. That must be it.
A memory.
I collapse to the floor and hold my ears. I pierce out a scream to match the one that just sounded, just resonated through the cell. Or maybe it's my head again.
The scream gets louder. It becomes two screams.
Then three. Then four.
Six.
Too many.
A barrage of screaming bombards my mind and I try desperately to cover my ears; to block the source of the shrill banshees singing in my mind. I throw my body around, even more desperate to have it stop. But it doesn't stop. Not until I slam my head into the hard metal wall I was previously kneeling next to. And it only stops because everything else does.
I wake up sprawled across the floor. I stand up shakily, wobbling every which way as I try to gain enough vision to at least get a general sense of where I stood in this... this prison. I crash to my knees and the splitting pain of bone against metal persuaded my senses to get back in line.
My eyes dart around the room and I immediately wish I was back to not being able to see. Silent tears of absolute fright fill my eyes as I try desperately to move my petrified body. A terrifying wisp; a black shadow- blacker than black- dances before my eyes. Five more hide in the background. I cannot see their faces- if they have faces- but I do not need to. Although I myself do not, my mind knows exactly who- no. Exactly what these things are. They're victims. Victims of a horrid, god-awful event -if you could say 'god-awful' now. What these things have been through, it can't be possible there even is a god...
Yet I still can't help but to say 'Oh God' when I see the blood.
