White Room

Prisoner of the Barred Window

Heavy eyelids opened slowly, a white ceiling greeted the eyes of a young man named Jun as he woke up from the night's slumber.

His sluggish body moved as he sit down at the side of his white bed. He sighed and turned his head to the barred window. A few rays of light peeked on the metal bars, he can see the blue blue sky and the shining sun outside. A little bird flew by the window, Jun smiled and he gently reached and gripped the bars.

The bird was spooked and flew away. Jun's eyes grew lonely as he murmured " Where's my family I really missed them. question marks invaded his head.

He moved away from the window, The four corners of this white room appeared, it was so clean and white but its emptiness became nothing but reminds him of a prison.

The white bed, the study table with a brown journal and a lonely black door completed this white hell.

Jun approached the black door, he turned the door knob but Alas! It was locked. His jaw clenched and he keep on twisting the door knob hard
Until it grew hot. He immediately withdraw his hand because of the pain. He can see his hands turned very pink. The door began shaking crazily and there were weird noises and screams appeared outside.

Jun was so terrified, he begun to ran towards his bed. He grabbed a kitchen knife which was hidden on the desk and went hiding under his bed.

Gently the door opened, an unknown figure that looks like a tar went inside, it moves very slowly. Is it an alien? A monster? Or a devil that will torment Jun? What is it?

Below the bed, Jun was shaking while gripping the knife. he covered his mouth as he stares at it moving around in his room. It slithers like a snake , no sound of human-like footsteps left behind.

Jun's eyes widen as the beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead when the monster approached the side of his bed. Jun felt like he is going mad, he can hear the loud thumping of his heart. Luckily, the monster turned back and closed the door leaving a clicking sound of a lock that echoed inside the room.

Jun puffed a lot of air as he went out of his hiding. He stares back at the door with his brows furrowed. He grabbed his journal and pen and started to sketch the scary being who entered his room. He scanned the previous pages and it was filled with other sketches of the same monster.

Jun started to talk to himself "the monster today is much larger than before.. I should study them so I can escape.. My parents... I hope they are okay...I really want to see them.. what are these damn creatures!? My family.. They might be in danger!"

Jun throws his journal on the top of his bed and grabbed the bars of the window, pulling it in and pushing it out. "Let me out of here! please somebody save me" he screamed on the top of his lungs.

suddenly a loud whistle rings his ears, he noticed a flying figure outside the window. slowly as it moves closer to the window, it was a black cat with a red collar riding in a basket attached with colorful balloons. "for crying out loud, will you keep quiet nothing will happen if you keep screaming and screaming the black cat said.

the cat jumped and entered Jun's room. "y-you're a talking cat" jun was puzzled "I'm not just cat, I am your helper.. here I baked cookies for you so stop being such a drama king" the cat was carrying a small package, it jumped and placed the goodies at the top of the desk.

"You-you are a helper right? will you please help me the monsters...my parents"Jun said to the cat. the cat replied Jun " sigh. You cant help yourself if you act like this. just relax and stay in your bed, promise you will feel much better. dont worry the monsters wont touch you I'm sure I will kick their butts for you. I will going to bake more cookies or maybe a cake so promise me to remain calm and everything will be okay." "when will I see my parents again?" Jun looked down

"when the time comes Jun, you will going to see them again...ooppss time's running!---I need to go!" the cat hurriedly jumps outside the window and ride the basket with balloons.

"Wait there so many things that I want to know!" Jun raises his voice "Now is not the right time Jun all we have to do is to wait, until the monsters disappear..Until next time!" the cat waved her paw as the balloons go further away from the window. the figure of the cat grew smaller and smaller and disappeared from the thick clouds in the sky.

Jun watched the sky with his lonely eyes by the window. he moved back to his bed and buried his face on the pillow "wait? but I've been waiting for a long time.. I cant just wait.. I have to do something..." Jun whispered. He turned his face again to the barred window "someday I will find my freedom"
