The Demon I Saw At Night

The escape

I could feel the light on my eyelids. It felt like small spiders. I opened my eyes and looked directly up into the roof. My lamps were shining, and my body shrank under the light. My muscles were sore, and I felt extremely tired. I wondered what happened to me. I tried to remember what happened that night, but I could only make out small bits. I slowly moved out of bed and when my toe tips touched the floor, they became wet. I looked down only to see a puddle of blood. I could vaguely remember something standing next to my bed and touching my cheek. For some reason I wasn't surprised, and I didn't really care either. I walked to my closet, and each step I took made a little splashing noise. I opened the door and looked in; I only had the same white clothes in there. A mirror was hanging on the closet door. I looked at myself. My birthmark filled almost half my face ad my dark brown hair was curly and soft. I might get cancer someday, but it has never scared me. The only news was a little red wound on my cheek. I heard my nurse come in, the small click-clacks her shoes made. She came with breakfast, avocadotoast and milk.

"There's blood on the floor" I said.

"Excuse me?" she answered.

I pointed and said, "right there".

She just looked at me like I was crazy.

"Sir there is no blood" She said.

"What do you mean? It's right here" I said.

I bowed down and touched the blood; it was definitely still there. She was scared I could see it in her eyes. She dropped the glass of milk and it shattered into small pieces. For some reason I started to hear the whisper again, but this time it wasn't really a whisper. The voice became louder and I looked around, I couldn't see anyone except for my nurse. I started to understand the words.

"Why don't you just do it?" it said. "Why don't you do it SEVEN?

I knew what it meant, but I couldn't believe it. It wanted me to hurt my nurse. It was the only way I could escape. I had never been out of there before; I had never seen the sky. I only read in books of how it looked. The voice became louder. It started yelling at me.

"WHY WONT YOU DO IT? YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!" it yelled.

I knocked my nurse out with a strength I didn't know I had. I took the largest piece of glass, and cut her throat, but it wasn't sharp enough to kill her. It all happened so fast. I ran...
