This story is not for the faint of heart nor for the ones who accept just what they can see or for the ones who fear the unknown. I have seen things that some will say is nothing but absurd. Things that are hard to swallow. In fact, they are so indescribable that I don 't know where can I start. But I 'll do my best to tell you something incredible that happen to me 16 years ago when I was but a child. I had spent the day at my friend Tommy 's house as I normally did every Saturday. As always, we played to our heart 's content in his backyard making stories and talking about the big adventures we had. If I remember well, that day Tommy had almost caught a dragon, but he was very upset cause it got away in the last second. We schemed about how …show more content…
As I got closer I saw smoke rising from my backyard. 'Nice! They must be cooking something outside ', I said to myself. I didn 't notice the hole and the grumbling in my stomach until that moment. As I got closer and closer and so did the smoke but I couldn 't smell anything closely related to food. Once I was in front of my house, I threw my bike on my front yard and rushed into the house almost knocking everything out of the way. I was really hungry then. I passed through the kitchen and saw a someone moving. "Hey, mom!" I call while rushing to the backyard. Afterwards, I pull the curtains to the already opened door and I saw a big metal container with carvings that I haven 't seen before crashing in the middle of the yard. My heart started to beat faster and faster and my hands started to tremble frantically. "Mom?", I whisper trying to go back in the house but my feet wouldn 't respond. The truth is that the curiosity I would rather have faded replacing it with terror. But I try. I try to keep walking. Little by little I was getting closer to the giant container. Soon enough, the fire was dying out. While circling the structure I noticed that there was a hatch door at the very top. An open hatch door. "Wait, if its open, what was inside of it? Where are Mom and Dad? Wait they must be in the kitchen!" Without noticing the lack of oxygen in my lungs I was forced to take a deep breath. Now I was heading inside of …show more content…
The door to the refrigerator was open and if it wasn 't because of the door hiding the person on the other side I would 've been able to tell who it was. "Mom?", I whisper but no one answered. But then someone...no, something grabs the handle in the refrigerator door. It was a pale thin hand with three fingers. I couldn 't do anything but stand there and hold my breath. Then, the hand closed the door and I was able to see what was behind it. A tall thin creature with long arms and big black eyes. It was an Em. 'What can I do ', I thought, but neither my brain nor my body reacted. The creature gave me his back. At least it hasn 't noticed me. That was my chance to hide. Thus, I walked on my tip toes towards the stairs on the left in a hallway leading upstairs. At that moment, one of the wood planks on the floor creek and the creature turned around abruptly. In fear, I left a scream go out of my mouth. He also panicked and banged his back against the wooden food compartment behind him. I then hid quickly behind the counter in the middle of the kitchen. 'I 'm going to die! I 'm going to die! What do I do? ' I tried to take a pick. I couldn 't see him anywhere until I looked down at the other side of the counter. He too was hiding. 'Hiding from me? ' My curiosity won the fight this time. As a result, I stand up and looked at the floor right beside the Em. It had food cans and pieces of food. "Are you hungry?", I told him as calm as I
But none came. There was whispering. Finally, we heard Mother say, “We should go and tell them.” We heard them coming towards the parlor, down the narrow hall and past our bedrooms.
Then, they saw a tiny hole alongside another wall and wondered
Imagine if you were being hunted down in your own country by an army who wanted you dead. What would you do? Would you run away and hide from the danger or would you accept the situation you were in and let yourself be killed? Some lucky people got the choice between both options, and I was one of them. I chose to hide from the danger present in front of me, purely because of a promise made between my father and a man named Hans Hubermann.
This time I ran to the door to catch what was making that noise, and I hid next to the door. There was a light moving around my front door in circles, like someone had a flashlight, moving it around. I stood sideways at the door, determined to catch whatever was there. When I stood sideways at the door to catch what was in the bushes, I looked through the window on the door -and I saw a whole family.
It started out in the car when we were on our way to fly to Greece. I remember seeing the airport, but then I soon fell unconscious. I looked up and saw a bright light gleaming down and about six doctors hovering over me. They were saying things like "It'll be a miracle if this girl lives" and "Who in the right mind would drive as drunk as they were. "
I said to myself “ I can’t just leave her there I have to go save her,” I knew that I had to do something to go get her. I thought to myself: what if I go into the building into the fire? So I started to go into the tower and went up the stairs into the fire.
As i breathed in and out through my nose first then my mouth my heart slowed down. I was alone…… .I think who was that because I swear I was being followed. Calm down
I walked out of the door into the long hallway and began to walk around the asylum. I saw a large window
I felt a cold breeze throughout the house like I was in a field out in the wind. I got up and my father was still here he told me to go out and get the garbage. I went and did that my drive way was really long so it took me about a minute to get it to the curb. On my way back I heard a scream like I had never heard before. The sound hit me like a bullet.
About a year ago, my dad got into a a very severe mountain biking accident. My 11 year old brother was with him and he called my mom and I for help. We could tell on the phone that he was panicked and afraid. So I grabbed the first aid kit and we rushed to the car and drove to where they had been riding.
While reading, I felt like I was inside walking down the stairs with the employees. I could see the grey smoke and the soot. I could see everyone walking down the stairs with their hands
It was all a blur. Next thing I know I feel a sharp pain in my arm. I collapse and land head first. My breathing became hard and heavy. My eyes felt like they couldn’t stay up on their own.
“Sure” I thought. At this point we had arrived at the actual building and I kept thinking I wasn’t going to make it out, like I was going to have open heart surgery or something. The whole waiting room smelled of a doctor’s office which bred even more fear within me. And before I knew it my name was the one being called out. It was time.
Then hunger started to settle in. My stomach was growling almost as loud as a lion. I asked my dad if we could leave and he said, “Give it a little longer”. I started growing impatient and set the gun beside me and tried moving as quietly as I could to warm up. Then suddenly I heard a noise and looked behind me and saw a doe sitting there looking at me with those black soulless eyes.
The smoke was so overwhelming that my sight became blind and all that I could see was a small orange glow in the distance. Finally, we reached the blaze, the
