Trance

Tiredly I fell onto my bed.

It's been a long day and after the encounter with him, I just want to sleep.

Curling up into a sad fetus ball, I tried falling asleep. But with my luck, I couldn't.

I kept tossing and turning and I could not find a way to make myself comfortable and able to sleep.

This went on for what felt like hours, checking the clock, it was only four in the morning.

Do I want to go back to sleep?

Contemplating, I decided to not go back to bed,

I would be waking up in a hour already because of school anyways.

As I had no will to change into my school uniform, I walked out of my room to the living room, making sure I did not make any sound.

It was pitch black and I could barely see anything, but I managed to walk over to the door and open it slightly.

I need to take a walk.

Managing to get out of the apartment and to the streets, I walked around.

Wow there's people actually outside.

Why?

Shaking my head, I walked over to the small park nearby the alley.

Honestly, I don't want to meet them again, I just need some alone time.

As I approached the park, I walked over to the small, rusty playground that was placed in the middle of the park.

Climbing onto one of the yellow slides, I sat there.

It was calming actually, the breeze swayed my hair in all directions and it felt nice.

The lamps all around the playground and park suddenly flickered.

They lit up for a few moments before turning off again.

What's happening?

In a blink of an eye, the glass that held the light bulbs in the lamps shattered.

The loud noise echoed into my ears and I could not hear.

I only heard a long "beep" noise followed by nothing, it felt as if my ears were bleeding.

Looking around alarmingly, I watched for any movements of a figure around the park.

But to my surprise, there wasn't any.

I felt a presence nearby me, and turned my head around to face them.

They were talking, but I could not hear them.

I saw their mouth moving, their eyes gazing into me so intently that I could not look away.

"What?" I said, but I couldn't even hear myself talk.

They stopped talking, a evil smirk appeared onto their lips and they moved closer to me.

He was so close to me that both of our noses touched, and I felt that I was growing more hot.

Staring widely at him, he suddenly vanished.

He was near me, then he vanished into dust.

What the hell is going on?
