Echo

Chapter 10

I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I know it isnt real. I know these things can't really be happening.

This is just some sick twisted joke. Some sort of set up.

I have to find where the voices are coming from. They won't shut up anymore. What the f@ck are they even saying.

"Go away!" I scream at nothing. My eye starts twitching. I rub my temple and look at my feet. My shadow starts moving. I stare at it. I watch as it slithers away down the street. Traitor.

When I move it snaps back. I want to kick it. But I dont want to hurt his feelings.

I hear the voice crying out again. God is it needy. Why can't they just he quite? Seriously!

I stand up and start walking in tight circles. Got to get out. Got to get out.

Not much left anymore. Less then a half mile left of bubble. How long have I been here.

Months.

How many? How many months? I scratch at my head and pull my hair. How many months?

I start walking down the street. I see it again. Its him.

The guy from the picture standing there smiling arms outstretched. Calling out to me to come closer.

I feel for it the first few times. Tried to hold him but he is nothing but blackness. Just a part of the abyss trying to eat me alive.

A lie a dirty lie trying to pull me into the black void. Why is he haunting me?

I stare at him for a moment longer. He smiles and walks away down the sidewalk a swirl of black shadows following him as he walks.

I want to follow but I can't. I pull at my hair I can't. I can't.

I sit down again and watch my shadow run away.

Traitor.

Yep he is going insane. Just so you guys know he has been here for around 6 months now. Which is why he is losong track of sanity.
