i stare at my phone screen,
then around the the room.
i'm sat legs crossed,
hands running through my hair.
i look up and I see a figure.
i frown at it,
it looks at me,
it screamed louder than any noise humanly possible,
making me cover my ears,
and squint my eyes.
my heart starts to pound,
beating out of my chest.
i look up again to see the figure looming over me,
it bends down and clamps my head in-between its hands,
im trying to loosen its grip but
the pain makes me rip my hair out,
i scream with hurt.
my heart now trying to actually leave my body.
it removes its hands,
it goes back to looming over me.
i squeeze my eyes as tight as they go,
wishing for the figure to leave.
once more I look up,
the figure crouches down to my level,
i can feel the featureless face staring at me,
it's hands wrap around my neck,
pressing hard on the bulge that lies on my neck,
my hands try desperately to release the pressure,
but nothing happens.
it starts screaming once more,
deafening me.
my heart has most definitely,
for sure,
left my body.
i begin to sweat,
and shake.
i stare into the black abyss of its face.
nothing.
i begin to grow tired of trying,
and my hands fall to my sides.
my head pounding,
from the beating of my heart.
i look into the abyss once more,
suffocating,
-
'you win',
