any sudden moves

there's a yellow glow from outside my cell, immediately catching my attention. it's past midnight and i haven't heard a guard walk by in hours.

slowly, i walk over to the bars, wrapping my fingers around the cold metal. almost as fast as it appeared, the glow disappeared.

i remove my hands from the bars, stepping back to my bed. i'm probably just hallucinating. i'm too lonely here. it's too quiet at night.

suddenly, i hear the sound of drums and the glow is back. my cell door slowly slides open.

"josh?" i whisper, hoping it's just him. there's no response. i get up, walking out of the cell and looking around for any signs of anyone.

the hall is completely empty. i'm the only one awake. but the drums get louder and louder.

i follow them down the hall, towards the yellow light of an entrance way. the floor is wet and dirty under my bare feet.

"josh?" i call again. no response.

then everything turns black.
