Illy Johnson walked across the hallway and towards the kitchen. she opened the fridge, but all she found was an empty milk carton and an expired box of baking soda.
"mom, we need to go to the store." she called up the stairs.
"Ok sweetie." replied her mom, and then she went back to playing on her phone. illy sighed and walked back into the living room to unpause her show. she fell back on the couch with a thump, and pressed the button on the remote. Suddenly illy heard a thump.
"now where on earth could that have come from?" she walked across the room to the window. pulling back the curtains, illy couldn't
possibly explain what she saw. a huge spacious room with every day items and animal bones, although they looked ancient. illy was star struck. this was most certainly NOT the street outside her house. but just as soon as it had appeared, the room vanished, and in its place was the regular old street there had always been. illy shook her head. no way, she thought, theres no WAY that was real. i'm just hallucinating. she went back to watching her show.
suddenly a horrible pain stuck illy. it was like a huge knife had just cut through her arm and whoever was cutting her was now taking out her bones. but wait- not taking out- more like putting in? illy was confused. she looked down at her arm. illy screamed.
what she saw was horrifying. first of all, her fingernails looked like they were made of plaster, and her arm was split open. strange men an women with gloves were pulling out yellow goo and replacing it with an arm bone. but just like the room, it disappeared quickly.
illy was breathing rapidly and her heart was beating fast. she slapped her hand over her arm. it felt normal and the searing pain went away. Her fingernails looked just fine. illy decided she was just tired. "ill go get some sleep." she told herself, walking up the stairs, "what could possibly go wrong with taking a nap?" illy laid down, pulled up the covers, and fell fast asleep.
