It Will Never be the Same Again

-©h@pt€® 2-

   It's dark. I think I'm outside somewhere, but I don't know where. I'm sitting on a bench, I think. Then, light pours in, uncovering where I am. I'm in a park. I look around and see two little girls on swings in front of me. They're holding ice cream and are laughing about something. Then, one of them falls to the ground at the sound of a gunshot. The other girl jumps down and shakes the one lying down.

   A man appears in front of me, all covered in black, but his eyes look familiar, why do they look familiar? The man sits beside me and laughs at the girls.

“The one wouldn't be dead of it weren't for you, you know." He says.

   I try to speak but no words come out.

“None of the people you loved would be dead if you just told them what they want. Just tell them what they want!" He yells.

   I try to talk again but nothing, not even a whisper of a word, comes out.

   The scenery changes. I'm in a graveyard now, dead trees cover the area as far as I can see all around me. As I look around in the little area I'm in, I see there are only four graves. On one of the graves the name, Briar Vandal, is on it.

   Who is that?

   I look at another grave and another name is on it: Sylvia Paud. I go to the other two graves and one says: Adam Foster. My eyes widen as I look at the last one. It says: Angelina Mattson

   What's going on? 

   I feel someone put their hand on my shoulder and I jump and turn around. It's the guy with the familiar eyes again.

“You will be the cause if this if you don't tell them what they want." He says and gestures to the graves.

   I will be the cause of these people's,and my, death?

   No, no no no, this can't be true, it just can't. I want to help people not hurt them, and what is it they want? Who is they?

“It will be your fault, all your fault." He says.

   No. No it won't! It won't! No!!

“No!!" I yell to no one.

   I look around. Good, I'm back home. That was an interesting dream. Who were those people anyway? And why did those man's eyes look so familiar?

   I shake it off and get out of bed. I go downstairs to the kitchen and find a note on the fridge.

Went out to work, see you at 5. Please be safe. We love you. -Mom and Dad.

   Well, it looks like I have the day all to myself. What should I do?

   I go back upstairs and grab my phone and check it. One missed text.

From Sam!

   I anxiously wait for his reply and change my clothes if we're going to hang out today.

   I change into a light blue tank top, jean shorts, and some light blue Sperries. I straighten my hair a little since it's already pretty straight and check my phone again.
