Born to Die

Chapter eleven

Once inside Kim grabbed my arm and dragged me to the door. Which was hanging wide open, lock busted off and all. "What the hell did you do?" She yelled. "I thought we had a god dammed deal!" I stared blankly at the door. Sure I was planning to bust in there but I hadn't done so yet. "It wasn't me. I swear. I was out. Kim you gotta believe me I didn't do this." She didn't look convinced. "No one swang by, no one else lives here, there is no one else it could've been!" This wasn't my problem. "I don't know what to tell you Kim. I did not do it but believe what you want." She stared at me, right in the eye for a whole 30 seconds then shrugged, as if we were arguing over the weather. "OK if you say you didn't do it then I have to trust you and believe that. I just hope you're telling the truth." She turned on her heel and made her way upstairs, saying "I'm going to bed" over her shoulder. "K." I called back, staring at the open door.  She must've forgotten to close it. Well now is as good a time as ever. And with that final thought I stepped back into the hallway, with a torch I had salvaged from the garage earlier.

But there was no hallway. As soon as I turned on the flashlight and pointed it in the direction the hallway had led that morning, I was confronted by a brick wall. What the hell? Kim! So that's why she let it go so easily, because it was her that unlocked the door, probably knowing I'd force my way into it eventually. So she built a damn brick wall to keep me out. That's just friking great. I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. Having nothing to do, I went to my room and went to sleep.

I woke up a few hours later, screaming and drenched in sweat. Thankfully Kim didn't come racing into my room this time. I needed to find out what these dreams meant. Why was I having them every single night without fail? I was parched so I went to the kitchen, grabbed a glass and filled it up from the tap, without bothering to turn on the lights. When I put my lips to the cup, taking a sip, I noticed the thick, gooey texture of the contents of the cup. This is not water! I ran to the light switch and flipped the switch. What I saw in the cup was horrifying. Blood. Holy shit that's blood! I ran back to the tap and turned it on but clear water ran from it. What the hell is going on. Then the voices from the room started again. I had to find a way in there. I needed answers. I grabbed the torch from where I had left it earlier and opened the door as quietly as I could, planning on simply looking for a loose brick in the wall or something. Only there was no wall. It and all evidence of its mere existance was gone. I knew I didn't have long before the walls started to cave in so I bolted, running towards the voice that promised me answers.

I ran until my lungs burned and my legs were sore but the walls didn't budge. Don't get your hopes up. Keep running. So I did exactly that.

Sweat trickled down my neck and spine, I had been running for nearly an hour and the end of the hallway was still not in sight. Where are you? I kept running.

Finally, what seemed like yet another hour later I came to the end of the hallway,  at which I found a door. Turning the knob, I pushed it open. Behind the door was... Kim's house. I was back at the start of the hallway. How is this even possible? I ran in a straight line! There were no turns. How am I back here?

I turned back around to face the hallway again and I was standing face to face with the old man from my nightmares. Behind him, the brick wall stood tall and proud.

OK dear readers this is where I leave you.
