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.

isolation

this story is about a scientist in Antarctica slowly losing his sanity I can feel the corners of my lips tug upwards and before I know it, I'm cackling. My laughter rings through the empty room, bouncing off the walls as I double over in hysterics. Despite the dire situation, I can't seem to stop. With each passing second, my giggles become more uncontrollable, more manic. As I catch my breath, I try to reassure myself. "Everything will be fine," I tell myself, punctuating my sentence with another bout of laughter. "Because, because!" I repeat, and my voice breaks into another round of giggles. But soon, my mirth turns to misery as my laughter becomes sobs. I collapse on my hands and knees, tears streaming down my face until they blur my vision. The tears burn my skin, adding to my anguish. I can't even cry in peace, can't even surrender to my despair without feeling physical pain. "Oh god, I ruin everything Johnny- I'm sorry!" I cry out, my voice cracking. "I'm supposed to keep care of you and I'm sorry! I'm so sorry Johnny!" I scream, pounding my fists on the cold, hard floor in frustration. It's no use. Nothing can save me. I feel my tears freezing on my face and I quickly dry them with the back of my hand. I crawl over to the fire, seeking warmth and comfort. But there's no comfort to be found.
