Sorry for the format of the text. This is about me working at a fast food place.
The adventures of my imagination
"Matt!" A woman exclaims
as she throws the keys to me. I turn around just in the nick of time and grab
them in mid-air. I see an old lady with an outstretched arm and I knew she had
been the one who beckoned me with her words and gave me the keys. I knew just
then what was coming. I remember the last time this happened and I did not want
to relive the horrific events of the past. I had not made it in time to stop
the horde of demons from entering but tonight was different. I dropped my pen.
As it falls through the air I start scanning my surroundings like a computer
does for viruses. My eyes moving in all directions to find the quickest
route. I am far from the door. I have to work my way around many objects.
I close my eyes. My pen hits the floor with a mighty thunderous boom. I make a
break for it. Time is moving slow. I use my surrounding to my advantage. Your
moves have to flow together and rebound off each other. My body and mind as
one. When you are completely focused on one thing every detail is in complete
full. I round the corner and I pass a tall big boned man holding something
under the water. He thrusts hit fist in to the water repeatedly as if trying to
knock it out. To me it looks as if he is trying to keep what's there from
getting out. I can't help but wonder what is not getting the air it may need to
survive. I slip on a puddle of red ooze. I fall and hit my gut on the edge
some utensil but quickly regain my footing and keep moving. I look down
and notice my shirt stained with red ooze. I have no time to stop and study my
wound so I hurry on. I pass a two women staring at me. The first one is short
with dark hair and has a look on her face like someone just got shot. Her mouth
wide open. The other woman has long brown hair and could pass as an elf if she
had pointy ears. She turns her head and nudges the other woman while pointing
out the window. My adrenalin pluses to the beat of my heart. My senses
heightening with beat. Out of no where a tall lengthy
Mexican man tosses a knife that passes so close to my face I can see myself in
the blades reflection. I can see pupils are dilated to the max. The knife hits
a box and disappears into it. As I near the last stretch I see a man lying on
the floor with a broom in his hand. I thought my mind was taking in to much and
started playing tricks on me. I just kept my eyes on the prize and pressed on.
All of a sudden I stop abruptly. The demons are glaring at me through the
window. Three of them. One is taller than the other two which has to be the
father. I try to make out what they look like but the darkness of the night
cloaked their appearance. The only thing visible is there eyes. The door is now
in view. I raise my hand into the air. The keys jingle in the movement. I see the demons eyes grow with worry. On my left a mother is singing a lullaby while
rocking her baby trying to divert its attention away from the window. Mine and
the demon fathers eyes are locked on to each others eyes, waiting for some sign
of movement. I decide to make a run for it. We both break off our stare and
run. I slide under a metal bar that lay in my path. I reach the door and look
through the glass. The figure is hoping the rail. I fumble to get the right
key. I can hear the demon shout with a deep rumble "Noooo." I insert
the key and turn it. It clicks into place as the demon pulls the handle. The
clanking of the door and the frame brings a sigh of relief. I drop to the
floor. The sweat dripping from my head. I can feel the heat emitting from my
body. My heart screaming for air. Right then I was shot. Panic shot throughout
my body. I forgot about the other door. I get a kick start off the wall behind
me for an added boost as I hurl myself to the door ahead of me. On my right
there are windows lining the corridor in which I am running down. Each one I
pass I look out and see the demon's image flicker. It flickers in and out, from
him to me. A different me. What I was to look like if I was one of them. This
gave me the push to gain the lead and I was able to lock it just in time. I
hear him yell with anger as I walk away.
