I open my eyes but this isn't where I was barely minutes ago. Closing my eyelids and re-opening them, nothing's changed.

Cobwebs graced the corners of the aging walls with spiders hunting it's prey. The house was engulfed in dead silence. Dirty black and brown mould covered the roof in clusters signifying water leakage.

The windows covered with grime and dirt, and the sun threatening to penetrate through with vaguely traced fingerprints on it like someone was trying to either write or draw something although I couldn't place what. It was like I was sucked into some vortex of supernatural jail or something.
