Darkness

Chapter 1

It was Jack's twelth birthday party. He had been anticipating it from even his last birthday, and ever since he had been counting down the months , the weeks, the days, the hours, the minutes, even the seconds.

It had taken a lot of convincing to get his parents to let his friends(Hazel, Darrol, and Tomas.) He had been looking forward to this night for months, he has it all planned out, they would all hang out until around ten at the night, come in, fill their faces with sweets and chocolate, and then watch a movie.

At eleven o'clock at night Jack was still awake with plenty of energy to stay awake. But staying on his phone watching You Tube wasn't helping him get to sleep. He was almost caught by his parents multiple times but managed to slyly slide his phone into his pillow case before Mum or Dad could catch him.

It was two in the morning and Jack was almost asleep, but there was still that little spark of life left in him. He so far had managed to.stay awake until the point where every second with his eyes open were draining his energy by drastic amounts. In the end he decided to try and sleep. Anyway since it was three and he wakes up at seven, four hours is better than ten minutes. As soon as his head hit his pillow it was like magic, almost instantly he drifted into a deep sleep.

It was 6:55 am, the cringy, bone  ratling, nerve shaking high pitched xylophone tune. Everyone woke up almost instantly, and soon after the words happy birthday repeated once, twice, three times, and a final fourth..........
