I opened my eyes as I woke up in a large room. « What am I doing here? » I thought first. The first things I saw were a big red bed on which I was lying, a big mirror which was a little bit broken and a big curtain.

As I put my feet on the floor, I suddenly felt a pain. My legs were hurting so much because of a sharp thing on the floor. As I lowered the head, I saw a big knife on which I had put my right foot.

Suddenly, I screamed. At that moment, I was too shocked to do anything else than look at the floor with a surprising look.

Was it possible that I had put this knife on the floor? However, I told myself it wasn't possible that I had committed a crime -why would a knife be on a floor, seriously?-, because I didn't remember anything about this place.

Meanwhile, someone seemed to be looking through the window, observing me as I was observing the place. I didn't even take a look at the window, it could possibly help me to know where I was.

As I stood up, I quickly took a look at the window. I saw a big forest with big trees. There was a lot of wind, and because of that, trees were moving. It looked like it was a disturbing place, and I wasn't relieved at all.

Suddenly, I heard a noise. I first thought it was my mind that was playing a trick on me, but I quickly understood that this noise was real. And for sure, I had to know where that noise was coming from.

Instinctively, I promptly took the knife that was on the floor, which was full of blood. What is going on up there? I was afraid of discovering the truth, but I stayed calm and tried not to show how I was feeling.

As I heard the curtain moving, I gripped my knife. I tried to calm down as much as I could, but when the curtains opened, I dropped my knife.

I don't know how to describe what I was seeing. The exact person that I had seen in the mirror five or ten minutes before -was it minutes?- was now looking at me as if I was a monster. I opened the mouth to show my surprise. Although I looked completely shocked, he laughed at me.

—Nice to see you back, Arthur, he said with an irritated voice. A monstrous voice.
