THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP

By: Loki Niflheim

Turning the gears in the Devil's Workshop

The Devil's Workshop...

My mom once told me, "An Idle mind is the Devil's workshop".

Others people say it's the place the Devil does his dirty work, leaving the tormented screams of his victim in his workshop.

I say "Hell on earth" as I scrutinized the large building in front of me, with its walls painted cream. A big brick wall acting as a fence surrounded the building and a gate lay at the front as its entrance. Weird. Why? Because it was too normal, that's why.

You must be all wondering who I am right. Moreover, what the hell I'm doing here. Well that's simple really...

I am Mikan Sakura. 14 years old and studying at Seishou Academy...

Well that was the plan until my cousin accidentally took my dorm key, that wouldn't have to be a problem if he didn't also bring my map along with him in Okinawa. Now look, I'm here in Tokyo having a total "blast" while he's doing who-knows-what in Okinawa.

Why don't we just change you ask? Well, my supposedly school in Okinawa was supposed to start around after 3 days after I received the letter (along with my bloody key and my map) that said I was accepted into that school. Unfortunately for me, I suddenly had the urge to reminisce about Hotaru, my best friend, who I was suppose to meet in Okinawa and my cousin had to leave earlier than me because he had to meet up with his friends...well yeah that's how it goes.

By that time, I noticed that he had taken my key and I was already in front of a telephone booth in Tokyo screaming my lungs out at my cousin who was trying to calm me down.

"Listen Mi-chan, it's not bad at The Devil's Workshop"

Yeah, when people say those things when you're in a hysterical state it doesn't actually help does it?

What 's more, it looks like he found himself a girlfriend in my dorm and actually called the Principal of his school that he was going to change schools with me. He said I just needed to take the exam when I get there.

All good right? Wrong. Dead Wrong.

There were three problems with his "brilliant" plan.

One was that He was a genius. His school was said to be the school for the gifted students, geniuses, prodigies and the like and what am I? A normal girl who almost failed her midterms last year.

Two is that I'm staying at his dorm. Problem with that is, who the hell calls a dorm "The Devil's Workshop?" What the hell?! I'm staying at the Devil's Workshop?!

Three is, and probably the biggest problem of all, how the hell am I going to meet up with Hotaru now? We were supposed to meet up in Seishou Academy. It was a promise, but I'm in Tokyo. How the hell do I solve this? I don't even know how to contact her.

As I finally finished my hysterics, I went on my way following the damn map to my dorm.

And as I followed my map, I noticed that I got totally lost. Lost as in I don't know where to go. The map wasn't really helpful and there were no police to actually help me. I found myself in a deserted alley with only a stranger with a weird aura around.

"Ugh...I have terrible luck."

With that in mind, I nervously asked the stranger for directions to The Devil's Workshop dorm.

I find it nerve wrecking when he grinned at me and decided to take me to the building I mentioned earlier. Only just now did I notice the wall beside the gate was vandalized with the words "The Devil's Workshop".

I was about to give him my thanks, but when I turned to him, he had already disappeared.

And that was when it hit me. It was a big mistake coming here. I should've asked directions for a train home.

And so here, I am, scrutinizing the damn building. Loathing it with every second passing by.

I decided to enter the building. Once I opened the gate, a loud alarm went-off and the door to the dorm suddenly caught on fire. The brick wall suddenly grew taller and no exit could be seen.

WHAT THE HELL?!

As the gears of the Devil's Workshop start to turn, I braced myself on what was to come only to be caught off guard by the Devil and His lackeys.

Boy did I get myself in a terrifyingly nerve wrecking situation.
