Tragedies

Chapter One

I was on my way to school when it happened. A man who looks to be in his mid-thirties appears in front of me. Confused, I look around to see where he might have come from. When I turn my attention back to the man, he was no longer anywhere to be found. I shrug and continued on my walk to school.

I am about halfway to school when the same man appears beside me this time, rather than in front of me. I pay him no mind this time hoping that he would just go away and leave me alone. He continues to follow along beside me so I pick up my pace, now I am speed walking to get to school. The man does the same and continues following me.

As soon as the school is in my line of sight, I begin to sprint praying to the big man upstairs that I will lose this creepy stalker dude. Luck is not on my side today though, because as soon as I am about to step onto school grounds the clumsy side of me decides to make an appearance, I trip over something, knowing me, it's probably nothing but air. I'm sent crashing onto the concrete of the sidewalk. My leg twists painfully, this being the cause of the loud shriek that escapes my lips. A shock of pain courses through my leg. Suddenly I feel tired, like I hadn't slept in ages. My eyes begin to get heavy and slowly they begin to droop, but not before I catch a glimpse of the creepy stalker dude beginning to advance me. Then everything went black.

My throat is dry and scratchy, my right leg hurts so much that it feels as if I can't feel it at all. Numb. That's what I feel, I feel numb. My eyes are still closed, but it feels as if I was lying on top of an ice cube. The cold air that surrounds me nipped at my bare exposed hands. This confuses me though, because last time I checked it was a warm and sunny October day. I struggle to open my eyes they feel as if they weigh a hundred tons. After trying a few, more times my dull grey eyes finally pop open. Taking in my surroundings as I slowly and very carefully sit up. My eyebrows scrunch together as confusion washes over me. I glance around the room once more. I am in a room, a very dimly lit room. A small desk lamp that sat on top of a small office desk producing the little light that I do have. Other than that, though there is nothing. I can't see any doors or windows, but then again it is very dark.
