GORDON'S LAST DAY (BY REQUEST)
STBD
Gordon's last day started with everything ordinary and ended not so much.
Gordon woke up in his master bedroom in his creepy mansion. First thing he did was shuffle down to the kitchen and have coffee and bagels for breakfast.
Now he had to climb 2 flights of stair cases, that day his elevator was broken. He passed by a few bedrooms and bathrooms to his bedroom. He pulled on an argyle vest with a pinstriped shirt underneath, centered with a tie. His trousers were dark grey with 'pockets'. The shoes were nothing more than slippers (he hated when he got scuffs on his rosewood floors).
Gordon was still hungry so he ended up in the kitchen, again. This time he stole some left over pie from the fridge.
Off to his study to finish his book. He pulled the false book and the shelf opened. Once he entered his echo stone flashed a mirror of himself.
"hello, Gordon. Is today the day?"
"I think it is, what did I ended with yesterday?"
"I believe that Samson was just in the midst of being torn apart."
"ah, right. Thank you"
He began typing away and asking for some books from his echo stone. He just finished the sentence "And the Darkness Rained Upon Them" when he heard glass breaking.
He stood out of his swivel chair and darted toward the bookcase to find Serpine searching around, surveying the area. Until he found a book out of place. Gordon's heart pounding with every shallow breath.
"take to the caves" the echo stone said, "I'll try to give you as much time as I can."
Gordon nodded as he took a flashlight and went through a small door disguised as a dumb-waiter and left. Just after Gordon escaped Serpine entered to find Gordon finishing his book.
"hello, Gordon"
"oh, uh hi" Gordon's echo stone said turning to Serpine, "are you here to kill me?"
"good guess, any last words?"
"oh, um. Let me think…" he said giving the actual Gordon time to escape, "I would like to thank my family for supporting me the whole way and-"
Looking annoyed Serpine cried, "this isn't the damn Oscars!"
Serpine whipped out his right hand and it glowed red but Gordon didn't cripple, he forgot to. With no success Serpine scythed out his dagger and stabbed Gordon in the heart. There was no blood, in fact Serpine's hand went right through Gordon chest.
Serpine's face went from scared to shocked to deceived than ended with furious.
"whoops" Gordon's echo stone said as innocent as possible.
"where is the real Gordon?"
"I-I don't know"
Serpine began scouring the area looking for another hidden door. He pulled out some dust and tossed in the air.
"w-what is that?"
"dust… nothing more. It'll help me find the hidden door."
The dust shifted towards the dumb-waiter and crawled behind it.
"ha! There you are…" Serpine said to himself.
He opened it and went through the door to find a series of caves.
"damn it! Which way did he go."
When Gordon came through the hidden door he knew where each cave lead. He entered the one that was 2 off from the right (it lead to an opening by a road). He walked briskly in his slippers into the cave. He turned on his flashlight as the darkness covered everything. The beam bounced of wet walls and specks of glittery eyes. The cave monsters didn't care that Gordon came through, he didn't have powers so they didn't bother him.
He was almost at the at exit until his chest felt crushed and stretched. The red hand caused almost impossible pain that defied all laws. Gordon barked in pain as the red hand came closer. He couldn't breath anymore, his lungs didn't expand, instead they were sucked dry. His knees buckled as Gordon began to curl up in to the child's pose. The pain was too intense to stand. He stopped breathing. Serpine killed him. But he wasn't done.
Serpine levitated Gordon's corpse back to the study and placed him where he found to reflection, but this time he laid the corpse in the study that wasn't hidden. Satisfied, Serpine slit his throat beside his last page of words he typed that day.
