"Maximum dear! What on earth is the matter?"
I stopped my screaming and looked up, to see the old woman that would watch over me as a child. I can't recall her name…
I got up, my knees shaking slightly as I stood tall, the sudden winds ruffling my already tangled light brown hair. The old woman stared at me with wide eyes that I'm guessing were supposed to be innocent, but came off saying "I know something you don't." I would've said something, but if she actually knows something, I might want to keep my mouth shut. Well this will be difficult.
"I'm not sure," I said slowly. In actuality, I know exactly what's the matter. I was just ambushed by disgusting, rotting rabbit men.
Yeah I've officially gone insane.
What am I talking about?
How can I lose the sanity I never had in the first place?
"Come, come then Max dear. Let me take you to my apartment for a cup of tea to calm the nerves," the old woman suggested. Sighing in defeat, I nodded.
"Sure, ok. Tea sounds fine."
The old woman smiled. Smiled the smile of a predator that found its prey.
"Come on up to the roof so we can enjoy the lovely view of the city," the old woman suggested. I stared at her warily.
What lovely view? I wanted to ask. The only lovely view here is of my behind!
I was a little surprised to find a small wooden table and two matching chairs waiting for us on the roof.
"Have a seat dear," the old woman said with a rather creepy smile.
"Ok."
I sat down in the wobbly chair, seeing as I had no other choice. Looking around I saw the sky looked rather strange. Do clouds usually swirl around and are, um, red?
Where on earth did that woman go? She's been gone nearly ten minutes!
Standing up, I called out. "Hello? Hey where'd you go!"
"I'm right here lovely, no need to be afraid," said a gravelly voice, a damaged voice. I froze, standing straighter than before. Slowly I looked over, and nearly screamed.
There stood another one of those disgusting creatures, charging right at me, claws ripping at the wind.
I backed up until my shoulder hit a wall. Suddenly the ground began to rumble and shake. Looking down I saw cracks forming around my feet as the ground burst open and swallowed me.
Then I was falling, falling, falling down.
