"The Outsider"
By: Retroville9
My eyes felt like they were weighed down by cement blocks.
When my eyelids gave and my sight came into perfect vision again, I had no idea where I was.
The room was bright and the walls were painted with red streaks of blood.
My eyes widened.
I began to stand up but I instantly stumbled back down. I rubbed my hands over my eyes and tried to stand up again. Success.
I slowly walked around the blood-stained room and noticed that there were no windows, no furniture, nothing.
This is when I began to worry. I started panicking and banged my fists against the walls. Blood dripped from my knuckles and I stood back screaming.
This has got to be hell.
"I've been expecting you."
A voice came from behind me out of no where. There were no doors so it was impossible for the tall man in a black robe to enter the room. Unless, he was already there.
"Who are you?" I asked backing away slowly as I carefully examined him.
He walked closer to me and put his hands on my shoulders and took his bloodshot eyes and pierced them through my soul.
"Do you know where you are?"
I looked around me again and saw a window appear on the left of me with my house in the background with my mom and dad waving at me on the front porch.
"What the hell is going on…" I said as I approached the window. I placed my hands firmly on the window. The window disappeared and my family and my house vanished.
The man laughed quietly as he came back closer to me.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" I was screaming this time on the verge of tears.
He walked away slowly and disappeared into thin air.
I stumbled down and stared blankly at the floor. I was shaking. I was trembling.
There was another voice I heard now. This time a much softer, tender voice. I stood up looking around searching for where the voice was coming from. I panicked and started banging on the walls again. Tears ran down my face.
"It's me."
