Can't Find My Way [Completed - Short Story]

Prologue

I see a black horse not far from me; beautiful and stunning.

As I walk closer, I see that it's not an ordinary horse. It has black wings with red and empty eyes. We look into each other's eyes that give me shivers above my neck. It looks away first uninterested.

As it walks, I notice a bunch of people walking at its further back like some kind of parade. I stare at them as they get closer.

COLD.

I feel cold as they walk past me. It makes my tiny hairs stand up. They feel so different. One of them looks in my direction and to my shock, its eyes are blank and starless. It walks above the ground; floating. And it also looks like it came out from a black and white television

My heart starts beating faster but I need to hold on.

It looks away after a few seconds then I step back a little, trying so hard not to make any reason to get their attention.

I can feel severe sadness reeking out from them. I never thought anyone could ever emit sadness as much as they do. But as I was about to break a run, away from them, I remember my purpose, the reason why I'm here.

I take a deep breath and jump into the crowd. I walk with them while searching for her, hoping to see her in this creepy parade.

I push myself to the center of the parade.

I hear disturbing voices from everywhere.

"Go away!"

"It's stupid to go here"

"You shouldn't be here"

I keep looking around, trying to find where are the voices coming from.

I stop when I suddenly feel weak. I'm walking slower and even breathing comfortably. I can no longer feel my heart beating as much.

The parade is changing me.

I feel more in sync with them.

I'm becoming one of them.

No, I can't be one of them. I have a mission.

Memories start to flash in front of my eyes like bubbles with a movie inside. I see myself in one of the bubbles in front of me, painting a rose. I smile at the memory since I feel enjoyment and satisfaction coming from it.

Then it pops.

One by one my memories are fading.

My eyes are wetting incredibly right now.

What's happening to me?

Why am I crying? I just can't remember.

The real question is who am I?

I can't seem to remember who I was and what I'm doing here.

Then I see the last bubble floating in front of me. There's a girl in it giggling, laughing. She seems happy and full of life.

ARTHUR.

That's me! I'm Arthur!

A flood of memories begin to pop up again, the good ones and even the bad ones. Then I start to remember the reason why I came here my sole purpose.

Then a blaze of light exploded inside of me, all of my memories get back inside of me. Then I see her, the one I'm looking for.

"Micah it's you!"
