It's 6:30 am and all you hear is my alarm starting to ring. Not my brain to full conscience though. Now answer this. Why? If you ask me school should be in the afternoon. My brain still hasn't connected to reality yet. I reached over to shut the ringing up. When I finally woke up, I could smell Mom's delicious cooking filling up the room. The scent of chocolate chip pancakes suffocated my nostrils. Today was feeling like a good day, all is left is winning the lottery. Oh well, maybe another day.

I do a quick well-needed stretch before getting up. Then I begin my day by jumping out of bed and opening my curtains. That's the last time I ever do that! I saw Emily Green, walking to school with her bestie Elizabeth LeVay. They also saw me... In my boxers, they started laughing and giggling. How embarrassing.

I closed the curtains immediately after. Did that really just occurred... I still couldn't believe that just happened. Oh well, at least I wasn't completely nude, that would've been worst. I shook it off after a few minutes of disbelief. I thought of what I should wear for school today. Walking over to my dresser I chose a few clothing options out. I'm stuck between an all black polo shirt, or a white t-shirt. After a few indecisive minutes, I decided to go with the black polo shirt.

I grabbed the outfit of the day, my towel, and opened my bedroom door to enter the hallway. Then a random thought ran through my head, doors are like portals. I laughed a little at that idea while heading to the bathroom. I knocked on the door to make sure it wasn't occupied. After a few seconds of waiting for a response, I entered. I was safe. I then closed the door, and locked it. Began undressing for my shower. I hung up my towel, got into the bathtub, and turned on the warm water.

After fully washing up, I reached for my towel and dried myself off. Then I stepped out of the tub and began getting dressed. After I was fully clothed, I headed back toward my room. But, to my surprise, when I opened the bathroom door. I wasn't seeing my usual hallway. I was teleported to the underworld.

I stood upon a cliff, high up in the sky. The smell of rotting flesh was being manifested. I carefully make my way to the edge and look down. To my disbelief, there was what lied the answer to the foul odor I smelled. What lied beneath was a lake of fire filled with humans screaming in agonizing pain. I could only explain the horrific scene as something biblical... Hell.
