Its been a week since we moved to Kansas. A week since my last hook up. I was given enough drugs to last me for a couple of months, but this town is so small and so... unsettlingly friendly. It's like a horror movie, everyone is so nice that I'm half expecting them to turn into some freaky ass murderers.
I walked down the pathway that lead to the small lake in the centre of town. No one comes here anymore. Apparently some kid called Jamie committed suicide here 12 years ago. They never found his body, only the stack of cards that he always carried around with him that were left floating aimlessly around the lake.
I sat down at the edge of the river bank and pulled out the small yellow package from my jacket. The package held a fine powdery substance that was labelled as 'Yellow Sunshine'. I quickly poured out the contents into my hand and snorted it. It took a mere 3 minutes for the drug to take effect. I laughed as fragile fairies chased each other over the lake, mermaids swam and sung in the crystal clear water and elves pranced about the waters edge beckoning me in. I walked over to the water leaving my jacket behind along with my stack of cards.
I swam further and further into the watery depths of the lake still laughing and smiling with all the happy noises. That was until I realised that the noises had stopped. An eerie silence crept over the water and the hairs on my neck prickled in pure, horrifying fear. Everything began to morph into nasty shades of reds and blues.
Daniel.
Daniel.
DANIEL.
DANIEL!
YOU KILLED HER!
YOU KILLED HER!
"STOP IT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" , I began to shriek as I tugged at my hair and clawed at my eyes.
I awoke to the sounds of the crickets chirping in the shadows of the trees surrounding the lake. It had to be at least after 10 at night. My eyes stung with blood and my body shivered as the cold wind blew onto my wet clothes. I walked to the nearest gas station to get cleaned up.
To say I was a mess was an understatement. It looked like someone had tried to murder me and I had only just managed to escape. My arms were covered in bleeding scratch marks and my eyes covered in long red scratch marks, my right eye was cloudy and blinded by the sheer force of how far my nails had dug in. I wasn't worried though. I was a magician after all, an illusionist to be exact. This was a problem easily solved.
Hi guys,
What do you think? So, Daniel is a drug addict and man, he has serious issues. What drug did he take? Who is this Jamie? Why did he kill himself?
All shall be answered soon. Perhaps not in the next chapter, or the one after that but mark my words, they will be answered!
