The strange creatures surrounded me, I had nowhere to go, I was trapped. There was no coming back nothing I could do would help no scream loud enough will be heard. Am I doomed I sit reflecting my life thinking that I might just starve to death among these creatures, the question that was running through my mind constantly was "Was I a good person?". Let's rewind to where I was just a small child roaming a forest alone...
I wander around with mushrooms and berries carried in my small bag. "There might be animals around here I better find some shelter." I thought to myself. Hours later I find a large two story house. I run inside as it starts to drizzle. The furniture is covered in cobwebs and dust is everywhere. I start to clean up the house and after a long day I finish and look out the window to see eyes... just watching me, just watching me. At this point I just thought that I was seeing things from a lack of sleep or water, I went to drink some water and that is when I saw it... a man holding a woman's hand they looked like my parents. I ran to go hug them but, they just vanished into thin air. I burst into tears and run to the bathroom as tears stream down my face. After an hour or so I wash my face and stop sobbing accepting the fact that my parents left me and that I must be independent. I drink some water and go to a bed to sleep, it was rather cold so, I pulled the blankets up to my nose and closed my eyes. The next day I found a small garden inside the house I harvested the fruit and vegetables, planted seeds, ate some food, drank some water and went downstairs to go pick some flowers but... The door was locked... all of the doors were locked. I was locked in, the windows were locked and had burglar bars so I wouldn't be able to climb out or break the windows. I was scared and all alone then a cat appeared out of nowhere I expected that as soon as I touched it, it would disappear into thin air but, to my amazement I could actually play with it! I went to go get a treat for it when it disappeared... what was I expecting, I don't deserve a friend. I looked out the Windows to see the eyes once again this time with big wide smiles they were laughing, who or what were they laughing at? I looked around to see nothing to laugh at so they were laughing at... me I started to cry and that just made them laugh even more I tried to cover the windows but they were too big and they were everywhere. I started to think that I was seeing things, I tried everything to make them go away... nothing worked. I didn't like it one bit running upstairs I saw another man this time he was holding an object and running towards me with a big smirk on his face...
