For some reason, I felt like writing a horror story at 10:30 at night. Oh well, haven't had a new story in a while.
Warnings: character death and some naughty language
Summary: Coraline is 18 and had her memories of the "other world" erased. Now, however, she hears a dark voice keeping her up...
Coraline tossed and turned in her bed, which was becoming increasingly common in the past couple months. Ever since her eighteenth birthday, she heard this voice.. calling to her, begging her unlock a door or something like that. The voice was somewhat like her mothers, though a lot more soothing, but there was always a hint of anger.. a sense of wanting to get revenge. Her parents had tried everything they could think of to soothe their precious daughter's sleeplessness but nothing helped. Coraline was on at least four different sleep meds, but nothing helped get rid of the voice that kept her up.
Of course, Coraline didn't tell her parents it was a voice keeping her up. They probably would have called her crazy and locked her up some where. Then again, anything would be better than this. Coraline let out a whimper as she started sweating. It was one of the rare times she had fallen asleep, but it was never a peaceful sleep, it was always a nightmare. A nightmare about a world, a world that was similar to her own, but things were happier there, more fun. Also, it was never actually Coraline, it was her mind in someone else's body. No matter what the child looked like though, the story ended the same: the child was a dead, bloody mound of nothingness.
Coraline awoke with a choked sob. She wanted to know how to make the dreams end! How the hell to make all this pain just disappear! How to have a decent night's sleep for the first time in six months. She had to find out what the voice was and how to get it to leave her alone!
So what do you guys think? I haven't written a story in a long time, because my old computer got a virus. So do you guys love it? hate it? wish you hadn't bothered even reading it? please let me know! I love getting reviews! I'll post the next chapter A.S.A.P.! :D
