I'm laying in bed
I hear something in the corridor.
I get out of bed and walk to the door.
I try to open it but I can't. I try again and even kick it but it still doesn't open. I decide to put my ear against the door so I can make out the sounds. I hear very loud and unfamiliar footsteps and I hear... I hear someone murmuring, a very specific kind of murmuring like the murmuring of a person who has never spoken before. It's from my brother, Jason but he only does that when he's very uncomfortable or in panic. What is even happening outside my room? I kick the door now twice as hard as before and even punch it, but the door doesn't open nor does someone hear me. I now hear something getting dragged, something heavy. I now also hear the murmuring getting louder. Why is Jason getting dragged down the hall? I then realise it's them, them! I started kicking and punching the door even more trying to get it to open, nevertheless it still doesn't open. I hear the footsteps getting softer and then I hear the door open. They're taking him! Everything starts to turn more blurry. I want to scream but it wouldn't help, Jason is deaf. I run to my small window and try look outside, but everything is starting to get darker and more blurry. I see a small light and a hear a car driving off. I feel tears streaming down my cheeks. My brother has now gone with them, to hell.
