My FlashForward
On October 17, 2009, the whole world blacked out for two minutes and seventeen seconds. This is my story. It was mid-morning. I was walking to my favorite class, band, where I played clarinet. My three best friends also played the clarinet, and we were laughing and talking like we always do. All of a sudden, about twenty feet away from the band hall, I blacked out, and I was in another world. It was like having a memory, yet more vivid. And it hadn't happened yet. It was during the day; I could tell it was, yet it was pitch black wherever I was. I was sweating intensely and screaming for help. "Don't scream!" hissed a voice from behind me. It sounded like a mixture between a snake and a human, and it was getting closer.
My heart was beating fast, and my legs were numb as my insanely curly red hair swung around my face. I pushed it out of my eyes, a waste of time knowing that I couldn't see where the hell I was going. My eyes darted from side to side, looking for some glimpse of light or hope, or anything living other than me and this person.
"Why are you running? We're going to get you." I could hear the voice smiling. I pumped my legs faster. I could feel my feet hitting the pavement, bare and blistered. I didn't care. I just knew that I had to get away from these people. The last thing that I remember was feeling slimy, scaly arms wrap around me. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, the light hurting my eyes.
I looked around, and noticed that I was lying on the floor: everybody was. "Aimee? Karen? Abigail? What happened?"
"I don't know!" Aimee exclaimed, sitting up and rubbing her head. "Ow. I saw myself at school. We were all there, except for you, Sam. I don't know where you were!"
"I was running from someone. Something. I'm not sure what it was. I was in the dark, and this thing kept talking to me. All I could think about was escaping from whatever it was, and in the end, it caught me. Then it was over."
