Elijah jolted out of bed in a cold sweat. Feeling his head pulsing and his heart racing. Confused on how he got in this bed or how it was even dark outside. He looked around his room, everything seemed to be in the right spot. But then he noticed something in his photos on the desk. It was a photo of him and his girlfriend except there is another face over hers. He looks at one photo after another... it's all the same photo.
"Mom," no answer. "Mom, can you tell john not to mess with my stuff anymore." Elijah grabbed all of the picture frames and balanced them in his arms. He swore every breath as he marched to the door. He turned the knob but it was locked. Why the hell was it locked? Elijah threw all of the frames to the floor and started pulling on the knob, but it wouldn't budge. Elijah started yelling, "this isn't funny guys, open the door," silence.
"I'm sorry but no one can hear you so if you could please stop banging on the door before you wake the neighbors."
Elijah stopped, and quickly scanned the room. "Who said that," Elijah asked in a confused yet strong voice. Nothing happened at first but then a loud shrieking noise filled the room. Elijah covered his ears in annoyance.
"So sorry about that, we had a little bit of technical issues but I believe we are back on. Now where were we, oh yes, hello Elijah." The voice was scratchy but sounded aged.
Elijah startled by hearing his name slowly backed away from the door.
"I'm glad to see you have awakened. You've been out for quite some time. I was beginning to think we hit your head to hard." The voice chuckled a little as he breathed heavily into the mic. Elijah slipped his hand to the back of his head and felt the tender spot. Elijah winced at the touch and brought his hand back to the front. Elijah panics as scarlet blood trickled down his fingers.
"I'm bleeding.Why am I bleeding? What have you done to me? You the hell are you and what the f-," the brisk voice cut of Elijah right before he finished.
"Listen here boy, I will answer all of your questions but, you will not say another curse word here. I will not allow my house to be tainted by that filthy mouth."
"Listen here, you are crazy if you think, whatever place this is, is going to keep me from getting out. Where exactly is this place," Elijah asked in anger.
The voice chuckled sickly before speaking. "This is home."
