A walk down memory lane

The shady man

She tried to discard this as just an illusion. But, what if it wasn’t an illusion? What if that was real? And if so, what did it all mean? Remember? What could have she forgotten? These were the question that bothered Jenna who was unaware that they will be answered sooner than she may want.

Later that day she retold these events to her husband. Instead of worrying about his wife, like a normal husband, he yelled at her for losing her job (even though it wasn’t really her fault). That night she cried herself to sleep. Her husband couldn’t hear her because they were sleeping in separate rooms. And even if he did hear I don’t think he would care. But shortly after falling asleep she was woken up. Every time she would close her eyes the shady figure would appeared and whispered

“Remember, remember

                     The bloody December

                       Ashes in ember

                         From your body dismember”

She went to the bathroom to wash herself and try to calm down. “It was just a mirage” she tried to comfort herself.

As she turned around, she saw the shady man standing there. He wore a hood so his face couldn’t be seen. In hid right hand glistened the silvery blade of a twelve inch knife. The man looked at Jenna and slid her, the silvery blade.

She picked it up and a picture of a brutal murder flashed through her brain. The shady man then said “Remember and never forget”.

A loud screeching of her alarm woke Jenna up, who managed to convince herself that it was all just a dream. That morning she had a hole in her schedule, so she tried to fill it up with a little drive around the town.

After two hours of cruising down the main road, her car broke down. As she got out to see what the problem is, a sudden chill ran down her spine.  The shady man appeared and gave her a sign to follow him.

At first Jenna was reluctant, but she had a feeling that he could tell her something very important. Plus she wanted to confront the man about the other night. As she followed, the man suddenly began picking up speed.

“Hey slow down!” Jenna screamed, but the man didn’t hear her.

Quickly Jenna noticed something odd. The man was leading her into the graveyard.

“What the hell is going on here?!” Jenna thought to herself.  Soon enough the man stopped near the burial ground. 

“Finally, you” Jenna started, trying to catch her breath, but a sudden revelation came up to her as she looked at the tombstone.
