You're At The Party

I heard voices around me... Screaming... Yelling even... The last thing I heard clearly was a woman yelling, "Wake up Neil" in a frantic and obviously panicked tone... Darkness soon surrounded my vision as I woke up, on the sidewalk, in front of a big house, with rainbow lights coming out of the windows, and the sound and beat of loud music was heard from my ears, it was all the latest hits... I looked in my hand and in my hand, there was an invitation,

"You're invited to the party! We've been awaiting the guest of honor (AKA You) so you better get here fast goofball!"

Guest of honor?.... If anything, I was the college student of mediocrity... I must've been given the wrong invitation or something, I walked up to the door, I was gonna play it off as just your everyday attendee... I had nothing better to do... I knocked on the door, the door almost immediately swung open, and a rough looking door opened the door, her hair out of whack, she had an exact and happy expression, she giggled, "About time hon!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me inside, I was surprised, it was so... Amazing, with music, lights, drinks, people, and a good vibe, I had a big smile on my face, it was so welcoming... The girl looked at me... My god was she pretty, I was lost in her stare, she looked back and smiled with her rough hair... Being gone, her rough appearance replaced with a tidy one, I must've been seeing things earlier, I don't know how I could've ever perceived this girl as rough or dirty in any way, she dragged me to the drink counter

"Bottoms up!" She began drinking down a bottle that had been filled with alcohol, I chuckled and grabbed my own cup, chugging in it down, for a split second my vision went black... The girl was bleeding from her eyes... The party goers were dead...

"Hon! Wake up" Her voice yelled, I snapped out of it, everything was normal again... I tried to speak up, but the girl smiled and landed a kiss on me, I couldn't stop myself, I kissed back...

The girl looked at me as we kissed for a long while, I felt a sharp pain in my tongue... I immediately pulled away from them roughly and panted frantically, her tongue stuck out, covered in blood, and the end of my tongue stuck on the end of it, I tried to let out a scream but was cut off again, "Hon?! Hon! It's time to dance-" The girl yelled, I was on the floor... This wasn't happening, I ran out and tried to leave the house, I opened the front door...

Impossible, it led... Back to the house, I felt around my tongue, it was back?... "Wake up! You're at the party! Wake up! You're at the party!" A voice yelled it filled my ears, I looked around frantically, to the sight of the partygoers, their faces melting to reveal bare bones, blood dripping from their body, What was happening?! The voice didn't stop, the music got louder, the lights got brighter, and the front window of the house broke, a creature began tearing through the pile of guts and eating it... I had to get out of here, I began rushing up the stairs and hid in a closet... I panted and held my hands against my head.... Sobbing..

I opened my eyes, I was dancing on the dance floor, the melting bodies were dancing with me... I couldn't stop! "Now you are dancing! You're with your people!" The voices shouted, I cried out for help, as I felt my face began to melt like the rest of theirs, I cried out for any help! My mom?! My dad?! Anyone!...

I was exhausted, but eventually, that girl... She returned, her face was normal... And body was... Still perfect... She held her hand out for me; "... Wake up Neil..." She said, I whimpered and spoke... "I-I'm scared..." I said with uncertainty, she embraced me in a hug, "... Goodbye.. " She said as she closed my eyes with her fingers...

"Wake up Neil!" I yelled as I grabbed onto my my boyfriend Neils body, he was in such pain... "... What's wrong with him doctor?!" I yelled, the doctor looked down in sadness, "... He... He suffered from a brain tumor, Missy... It took hold of him while he was sleeping... He's... Going through his final stages now", I looked down and whimpered, "I won't even get to say goodbye..." I said, as the sound of a flatline filled the room
