Bagel831
Ongoing, First published Jan 26, 2016
Darkness envelopes me. My breathing is short and harsh. I feel my heart thumping in my chest. My arms are wrapped around my knees. I feel moisture fall on my cheeks. A soft cloth brushes against my shoulders. Leather punctures my spine. I peer through a crack. I hear screams. The sound of glass shattering. Soft whimpers escape, giving me away. I hear footsteps pound the floor, walking towards me. I try to slow down breaths but the thunderous waves clash with the rhythm of my heartbeat. Producing a colossal sound of panic and grief. Time seems to slow as another tear escape my eyes. Objects play shadows across my mind. I hear a thump and my heart stops unintelligible screams pierce the house like a knife. One bang. Than another. Earthquakes drop with every shot.  My dog barks and then it screeches. A shot silences my dog and I know she's gone. I see nothing but the lights cutting the darkness. I shift my weight and the floor creaks. I feel my lips quiver and my eyes burn.
