I can tell that you're listening to me, I don't know how, but please just stay here just for a little while? I have big news.
I'm not in the room anymore.
They were actually being sympathetic towards me once you and I stopped... talking. They brought me food every day while you weren't around and they haven't hurt me in a while.
Today, they came and gave me food. When they left, I just followed them out of the hallway. They didn't even notice me behind them.
I couldn't keep up with them for long because they're very tall and they walk quickly. I tried hard to catch up with them but I began to tire.
Running felt so good because I had been so cramped in my tiny little room for who knows how long.
I don't think I've ever felt so happy.
I told you I would get out.
Anyway, I just sort of stood in the hallway for a while. Where was I supposed to go?
I started walking in a random direction.
I ran into one of them.
I looked at him.
He looked at me.
And then I walked away.
I looked back once and he smiled at me. It was a genuine smile- maybe he was happy for me.
I walked away from him and he watched me go and he didn't try to stop me and I left.
I got out of the building- it turns out I was in a skyscraper in the middle of a city. I wonder how I got in there.
And I wonder how long I had been in my room in there.
But right now I am out here, standing on the sidewalk in front of the building.
I am not afraid to talk to you now... because everyone out here is.
I don't know if the people out here are talking to you specifically- are they?- but everyone is walking around by themselves with their heads turned to the sky, talking to some invisible being just like I had been doing in my room.
I like it here.
But I'd like it more if you were here.
But I got out of that horrid building.
That's all that matters.
A/N- Oooooooh so exciting! ;) Sooo... what do you think so far? :D
Much love -Em
