"IT" can hear you

Part 1

P.S This was made out of a theme. The theme was technology in society. I just put in a slight twist so it wouldnt be boring..

                               I walk into the streets of the suburbs coming from a place where teenagers fend off their youth and drown themselves in alcohol to perhaps get a nice time like what I hope for every damn night, but today was just as useless as any other day of the month or even year. Same dumb shit going on this city, I'm getting tired of it.

I lighted my cigarette and hit a couple of times as I lean my back against these walls, I realized in such bad luck I have only one left. But nevertheless, I just shrugged it off and watch the people pass by. I blew a chunk of smoke looking at the night sky, and as predicted, same old same old sky. Dull and shabby...Like of those people that resides here. God, I hate this town. Why do people even live here? Run-down buildings, awfully poor establishments, unbreathable air and most importantly noisy as fuck. I removed my headphones and sighed. If you were here, you'd probably want to move a thousand miles away from this city just to escape the noise it creates. Honking cars, shitty electronic music in clubs, narcissistic people talking and talking to their smart phones everywhere, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. I give up. I just fucking give up. I put on my headphones and shut down my auditory senses from the outside world. It's hopeless, trust me. I finished my cigarrette, threw it on the ground and stepped on it. I walked my way through this part of the city but eventually, my phone died and I have no choice but to remove my headphones and bear the clamors of the suburbs. I do not understand though, how can a small city cause THIS much unwanted sounds? Noise pollution, was more appropriate.

I kept walking and dropped by the convenient store to buy some slurpees and perhaps charge my phone. I sat down and gulped a a little bit too much that caused me a slight headache. I used to think the warning sign for brain freeze wasn't true... I was wrong. I laughed at myself. And stared outside of this thick wall glass that separates me from the outside clattering. I saw an old lady yelling something on the streets to random passersby, which was, believe me, kind of normal to see everyday. I pass by this woman every night but I don't really give that much attention to her, I just block her off with my earphones, just like what I do to everyone else.

After about ten minutes of charging, my battery was about 19 percent and I hope that was enough 'till I get home. Home...right. I put my headphones again and headed outside the store.

Imagine playing your favorite music, it's getting you in the mood, got you dancing and tapping your fingers on your side and then you have this hideous view of angry people shouting at each other on the opposite sides of the streets, a hooker trying to catch a bait ( I wasn't tempted, trust me, kinda) , a couple showing a little indecency, traffic, gross dumpsters, drunk men walking, the old lady bugging people, and all the shitty stuffs you least want to see. Thank god, I wasn't hearing them. I walked a little further and the streets were getting empty. Much better, I'm near home anyways, I'm excited to get in bed, and drown all of this in my sleep. I lighted another cigarette and continue walking.

Since, it was quiet now, I've decided to sing along with the music in my ears. I didn't care if I was loud, I never complained to them when they do anyway. The timing was perfect, one of my favorite song was playing and I was shout singing the lyrics like a drunken man in an empty street that--

Quiet my little boy

What the...

Oh. Shush my darling.Swearing... is not for little boys.

What was that? I look back and there was no one.. O-kay. What the fuck was that?

What was what?

I looked back again. There was nobody. I'm sure of it. I think the alcohol was giving an after kick? As I turned around to resume my walk, a horrible was face shocked the shit out of me. My body jumped back in fear and my mind recognized the person. It was the lady by the street that kept yelling to the passers-by.

"Shhhh." And then she crooked a smile, few of her teeth were showing, other's missing and all the one's that were left were dirty and yellow. It gave me chills.

" Be quiet my little boy,the silence can hear you" whispered the old lady in my ear. I tried to be calm, civilized and less judgemental. So I, threw away my last cigarette cleared my throat and tried to speak, but the words wasn't coming out of my mouth. I cleared my throat again, thinking maybe tequilas and cigarette was not a good combination , but above all efforts there was still nothing.My eyes widen in fear as I stare at this old lady smiling in front of me. I can hear her chuckle under her breath, I tried to shout but there was nothing.

"If you want to mute the world, then so should you. Your soul makes such a horrid noise that speaks of hatred. But can't you see my little boy, you, yourself also makes the unwanted clattering " she kept speaking while walking around me in circles. "The morning you wake up, your alarm beeps, you put your coffee in the coffee maker, it also beeps. Your food in the microwave, your car when you press the unlock button, your phone when someone calls you, your TV, your computer with those speakers, the music you listen to, and your unspoken words that screams out to the world. It's all noise pollution to me, don't you think?" She laughed, and looked at me in the eye. "We can mute the world. Me first, then you."

The old lady pulled out a shard of glass and slit her throat open. Blood spilled unto me and ... and I couldn't do anything but to run. Jesus Christ. That bitch is crazy. I ran as fast as I can, I was panicking trying to shout my lungs out, yet I made no sound but the footsteps and phanting that I was making. She was running too...chasing me...with her throat gouged out ...screaming in A FUCKING LAUGHTER! I felt like vomiting if I wasn't scared shitless.

I'm quite sure everyone's parents told their child to never talk to a stranger, nor walk at night alone, and that to always be careful outside the premises of our home. And yet tonight, I have broken every golden rule that every parents tried to reinforce upon their children. Look what happened, a crazy old lady chasing after me with her throat cut out. Fuck this creepy old town.

But, like a savior, I saw my house. It was my chance to hide and call 911. I stumbled my way inside my house, I had a hard time to even put the keys inside a keyhole because my hands was shaking...trembling. I saw the woman through my window, trying to break through my door. I hid behind a curtain and immediately pulled out my phone to dial 911. But my mind swirled and my heart just sunk to the floor as my phone was dead. The old lady had beaten the door open, and I tried to calm my breathing to prevent her from locating me. I could see her silhouette through the curtain and I can smell the blood dripping on my carpet. I hope to make it out alive, which was most unlikely. Her silhouette was gone and I think she went straight to the kitchen. Now's my chance to run again, outside this time and maybe call for help from the neighbors. I removed the curtain, and what jump-scared me was this horrid wrinkled face smiling with those ugly teeth and her slit throat pouring blood all over me. I vomited and everything went blank. I passed out.

I awoke to the sound of my alarm beeping beside my bed,and I jumped out of it directly, disoriented and anxious, I realized it was just a horrible horrible nightmare. I sat down on my bed, and laughed at myself. I sighed and laughed in relief. My god. I will never EVER drink that much tequila again. I pulled out my lighter and packet of cigarette, just to find that it was empty.Shit.

My mind swirled as I realized the truth. I felt a sudden chill in my spine remembering the throat and the teeth of that damn old lady. I opened the curtain of my bedroom window and the sunlight struck my face. Then I saw a shadow not too far away, my eyes widen as I see who it was.

Shush. My little boy...The silence can hear you..

There she was, the lady was there smiling with her crooked teeth. Oh fuck.
