Lies in the Light

Truth or death

    James walks towards me with a sickeningly sinister smile spread across his face. I struggle against the restraints "No! Leave me alone!" My mother walks over moments later and looks down at me emotionless " just open your mouth sweetie everything will be ok." 

    As I continue to struggle against the restraints bound around my wrists I stare into my mother's expressionless eyes. "Mom...." she leans close "Just take the medicine sweetie it'll be ok." As I'm about to respond something tight grips around my neck and my head pulling my mouth open as I gasp for breathe. James grips my chin as he pours the mystery liquid down my throat, coughing I pull away feeling a excruciating pain down my throat. I pull out of the restraints filled with adrenaline as I fall on the floor my knees buckling as I begin to start gagging and coughing.

   I look over at my legs, cuts are littered across my shins and knees. Maggots squirming around in the cuts, slimy and brown. I look over at James as he starts rushing towards me, quickly grabbing the chair I pull myself up my knees threatening to buckle underneath me. With a quick yelp I toss the chair at James, trying to steady myself I reach for the workbench and grip it with ragged breathes heaving out of my lungs.

I grab a thick metal wrench off of the workbench and swing it at the mysterious guy as he came running towards me. The wrench hits him square on the frontal lobe with a bone cracking snap as the wrench becomes lodged in his skull like a knife in butter. After stumbling for a few moments he collapses, blood seeping out from his forehead, veins hanging from his head like seaweed.

James grabs my throat pulling me up as I grab a screwdriver. Wincing I stare into James eyes as I swing the screwdriver at his face catching on his eye causing it to pop out like a bubble, bits of blood splattering against my face. His grip loosens around my neck. With a quick swing I start stabbing him in the stomach, lightly, above the naval of his stomach. This sobers him up and instinctively he tries to cover himself with his hands and my mom starts screaming really furiously, but she doesn't attack, and I keep stabbing at the bum now between his fingers, stabbing at the backs of his hands. His eye, burst open, hangs out of its socket and runs down his face and he keeps blinking which causes what's left of it inside the wound to pour out like red, veiny egg yolk.

He steps back a couple of steps swaying before he collapses to the ground. I look over at my mom wheezing as the burning in my throat worsens with each ragged breath.

Laughing darkly I use the wall as a support walking towards my mother, the feel of old wood like weakened sandpaper under my fingertips "oh motherrrr~ come here". Static fills my head one word screeching through my mind "Kill her." I lunge at her reaching as my body fills with adrenaline "Die!" Tackling her to the ground with anger, both of my hands clench tightly around her neck her eyes bulged out as she's gasps for breathe. I feel my entire body shake with anger as my hands change and arms change from my pale skin to a dark red and black claw like fingers.

I gut her with my claws filled with the anger of betrayal " you abandoned me when I needed you most ...I could never forgive you " tears fall from my eyes as she stares at me with pain in her voice as she says "letting you go...was the hardest thing....I've ever had to do" I scream at her "Why can't you love me!?" I break down sobbing as she whispers with her final breathe " I love you my little lily" I back away from her falling on my back, I decide to lay there beg for death to take me as I drift off into an exhausted dream

"mama..."
