The Nightmare

It all started on a late October night at 12:00 am. I was with my friends John, Nick and Rico. Well I should probably tell you what my name is. I'm Eric and I'm 24. The date was the 31st. I know, typical scary story but this is a different type of story, completely.

So I'll tell you from the beginning, well sort of now let the story begin:

"Hey you idiot get over here now!" Said a loud booming voice from somewhere within earshot.

"Huh, where am I?!" I questioned out of fear and shock.

"Your worst nightmare", Said the same voice again.

Then I heard what sounded like sinister laugh but was to squeaky and high pitched and honestly it gave me a headache.

"Why am I here?" I asked out of confusion.

"Well, we have a sort of contract to kidnap people and torture them for money", Said what I'm assuming was the squeaky laughing thing's voice.

What the hell is this place I thought to myself. This isn't real then I heard screaming.

I only just realised I was strapped tightly to a table with blood on it then I look up. Every time I tried to move the binding dug into my torso and neck. "Help" I whimper.

"AAAHHH!!!!" I scream.

"Jesus, Eric you scared us all really bad. Are you okay?" Asked Nick.

"Yeah, I'm just glad that nightmare is over" I sighed.

"Well we're glad you're okay" Said Rico.

"Hey, John are you okay?" I ask him.

"I'm fine", He grumbled.

"Sorry, could you repeat that?" I ask him again.

"I'M FINE!!" John belted out as loud as he could.

Silence, we all sat in silence thinking about John's outburst neither of us knowing what to say. We sat like that for a few minutes which felt like hours. Moments passed and we all grew hungry  so we decided to go out to Subway for something to eat. But on the way back home we see a strange man staring at us cigarette in hand...

"Who is he?" I question. "We're not sure", Said Nick. John just stared at him in silence as if he were trying to decipher the strange man. Out of no where John charged at the stranger then pinned him against the nearest wall with his hand on the man's throat. "John, what the hell!" Rico yelled at him. "You bastard!", John said to the stranger. The stranger had put his hand in his long jacket then held a gun to John's stomach. We all had a shocked expression on our faces then before we knew what was happening the stranger pulled the trigger.

Hearing the beeping of the heart monitor annoyed me at first but then I got used to it from several visits to see John. He was in hospital from being shot a few days ago and the stranger had been arrested so most justice was done.
