The Island of Liberty

While walking along the bay walk, I found a small house near my place, a small hope raised inside me. I ran towards the house, hoping I can find something or someone that could help me escape this island.

"Is anybody here?" I shouted and knocked on the door three times.

No one answered so I opened the door only to see darkness. I tried to find the light switch but the door just suddenly closed. I don't know why. Maybe because of the wind?

The darkness and creepiness of the room sent me chills. I walked around the room and tried to feel my surroundings. Then, I felt something crawling onto my feet. Something who has many feet and I don't want to believe what I guessed.

Only one thing entered my mind.

"aaaahhhhhhhhh! Oh my god, please get these fucking spiders away from me!" I shrieked loudly. My heart started to beat fast. I tried to calm down but I failed.

Only one thing is in my mind right now. To get out of this creepy house.

I have a fear of spiders and insects. I tried to look for something I can use to kill these spiders and there, I found a match. In desperation, I quickly lit one of them and threw it directly to where the spiders are. I ran as fast as I could and exiting through the door which I entered earlier.

Trying to catch my breath, I can still remember how the spiders and insects crawled on to my feet. I decided to go back to the beach house before I could find snakes which are even worse than spiders.

The stickiness of my skin always irritates me so I decided to take a warm bath. I want to relax but my father's voice is still echoing inside my head like an alarm I couldn't turn off. "Unchain what's locking you here, sweetheart. And you'll be free".

And it's really confusing me.

I still don't know what does that mean. I mean I haven't seen a chain here or what that can get me out of this island. "Ugh! This place is killing me!".

After taking a warm bath, I laid down on my bed thinking if I can ever escape this place. Why am I in this place? Is this a punishment for me for all the bad things I've done in my past? If it is, I'm truly sorry. I want to get out of this place before I go crazy.

Minutes later, I fell in to a deep slumber.

As I opened my eyes, I welcomed the sun as it brushed through my skin, thinking that everything happened was just a dream, a nightmare rather, but hearing the ocean waves and the chirpings of the bird got me all wrong.

I still kept on thinking about the reason I'm here in this island while doing my usual morning routines. Well, the good thing here is that all the things I need is here. No need to hunt for food or to make diy stuffs.

"Will I able to free myself from what's locking me here? Is there a key I need to find?" I thought.

There are still a lot of questions clouding my mind. I went to the kitchen to find my comfort food, if there is. The familiar smell got my attention.

I followed that smell and it led me to the dining table. I saw a pancake with strawberry syrup on it, my favorite! I didn't mind anymore who prepared this because I can't stop drooling over that pancake so I ate it all.

No one lives here aside from me anyway so I guess it's fine to ate it all.
