It was clear to him now that this wasn't entirely safe, he had seen the bad things that this world now had to offer.
He clambered up and thought to himself he better be on the move. What could he do? He asked himself. Be on his feet and ready would be one good step to make he thought.
"this world may be harsh young one, but make it invisible to you, face everything with a smile and confidence. Mask your fears. For in all problems there is a solution. Stay safe." the words of his father echoed in his ears. He would find them. He would do something.
Spotting a sewer he thought he'd be able to escape the harsh reality he'd been transferred to.
He took each step down the ladder leading to a pitch black room, it seemed terrifying. Shadows dancing and bouncing of walls, playing hide and seek with the light.
Cautiously walking he heard silent sobbing.
"h-help me... Please.. I don't know what to do. Why am I here!? ""why am I here!? H-HELP"
"HELP ME PLEASE!"
"PLEASE SOMEONE.. I just want to go home.."
Trapped. What's happened? Basil paced down the path to find a place which seemed to symbolise torture. Demons. Death. Disease. He raced across trying to get out of his own head.
This place which he had stumbled upon seemed to cast an evil omen. Maybe the creatures and villains that lingered around were trying to capture him by making him like them?
As he paced down some sort of thing filled him making him some kind of devil puppet.
"Basil. I am your dark side, don't escape this! Y-you just listen to me. I am your every bad thought and worry. If you come with me you get to come and be set free. With your family.. Of course. Disagree and you end up like them. Think this world is all good? Ha. This is only the beginning to the bad side of it. The good side.. Well you'll see. But now your trapped in your own mind. The deal is here.. It will be.. Thought of to be kept. "
Basil thought he wanted his family. More than anything, but he wanted to help these poor, disobandoned children too. But for now he was going to act as a puppet on a killer string. And try to find a solution to this problem
" Walk this way." the voice said."What am I going to do?!" he thought. He was going to have to play the game, but he'd have to cheat in some areas. He was winning in his head.
I will try to update as soon as possible, but for now this is it. Hope everyone is having a great holiday. Only just starting to do messages at the end of this cause why not I guess? 😂
