just whatever

Umm... well, it's almost halloween

My eyes flashed open. It was dark, and I was home alone. I heard slow creaking noises. It's just the house settling, I told myself. But wait...were those... OH, NO! Eeep! It was VOICES. Someone had broken into my house. Dread and horror filled me, as well as the strong desire to go check. 

"Don't do it. DO NOT. Checking never ends well for the people in horror movies," My brain tells me.

"Have you ever noticed how most of those people are white?" Another part of me adds in.

"YOU are white. What are you even trying to prove?" My brain thinks to itself.

I try to think of something useful. 

"Walk like a dinosaur." 

I decide to just get up and check, knowing me this will be a very regrettable decision. 

"Don't do it. You are just acting on the white person impulse."

Fully ignoring my own brain now, I slowly slide off the bed. It's so cold.  I get up, and wonder around my room, until I come to the door. I'm half-tempted to just lock it, and go back to bed. BUT... I of course don't. I stand there trying to build up the courage to open the door.  I slowly, regretfully, twist the knob, and slide the door open. 

Nothing. There is nothing. Of course. 

I'm still scared though. My heart is pounding so much it hurts. I wander around the basement, opening every door, and thoroughly investigate the room. 

Still nothing. 

Gulp. I walk to the foot of the stairs. I stand there, small helpless and scared. I quietly, and forcefully make myself go up stairs. One... Two... Three...

I made it! Yay! If I turn the corner, I will be in the living room. 

The living room is clear. Only the kitchen remains. Sneaking along the wall, I peer into the kitchen. It's dark. I only see the table. I hold my breath. I still hear the voices. 

"... I don't think we should."

"Please, I only want to socialize. We are so misunderstood. :("

I walk into the kitchen. There is a skeleton leaning on the counter, talking to another skeleton through the window. I start crying. I'm so scared; no one ever taught me how to socialize. I wish I had stayed in bed.

I'm probably going to regret writing this. If you are incredibly confused listen to the song above. I don't what I was thinking. 

Fun Fact: In the first draft when the skeletons are seen I had music playing and the skeletons preformed a dance number. I decided to change it to socializing though because it is much scarier and more mentally scaring.
