The Darkness of the Fall

The deafening sound of my alarm clock is what I had awoken to. Groaning I sat up and rubbed my eyes to clear my eyes of the blurriness. Taking a quick glance around the room to verify that I was in my room and hadn't disappeared to another room due to sleep walk. The walls were a light blue with some nordic symbols that I had painted on the walls when I was bored. There was a shelf on my right and a cabinet desk to my left. They had items litter on the tops of them ,mostly pictures and drawings that I occupy myself with from time to time. I glanced down at the floor to reveal it's gray color touched by the dirty fumes and other unclean things that I throw down there. I sigh to myself and lay back down on my back to observe the ceiling that had a few cracks, some chips of painting missing, and a ceiling fan missing one of its 'paddles'. I chuckled to myself remembering how I had accidentally broke the paddle off and had decided to not get it fixed. After chuckling for a second or two I sighed and pushed myself up and made sure my alarm clock wouldn't blare again. Getting up from the bed I had been laying in was difficult due to the soft fabric brushing against my skin like a lullaby or an enchantment that I couldn't let go. My feet touch the gray floor and I wiggled my toes in the fabrics, feeling the weird sensations that vibrated through my feet when I rubbed it across the floor. Standing fully, I stretched my limbs and torso in an arrow like manner. I stumble to the door of my room and opened it to proceed down the hallway towards the bathroom to do my business. Walking out of the bathroom much more steady on my feet I head back to my room to acquire clothing for the day. I go through the cabinet and pulled out: a black and blue striped tee shirt, blue jeans and black socks. I stripped out of my sleeping clothes and put on the new clothing that I had taken out of the cabinet.

I walked out of my room dressed and somewhat prepared for the day. I head down the stairs of my home and headed towards the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. I made some eggs and bacon on the side of toast with orange juice. I sat down at the table in the kitchen and started to eat when I noticed the calendar. I stopped all actions that I was about to do and set down the food I was about to eat. For this day was the day... My mother died.. I felt myself sink in a deep depression where the dark walls caved in with a maddening gleam and the bleak tide of despair rolled over my back. My eyes moistened with the tears of sadness and memories. I quickly wipe them away for my mother would have wanted me to be happy and not so in pain. I sighed with a shudder before I continue eating ,but now with a slow pace. I look at the calendar again after I had finished eating and I saw something even more disturbing about this day for the day was my mother's death and... Mother's day.

I couldn't take it anymore I had to get out away from this nightmare. I moved with a quickened pace and found my shoes. I put them on ,then made sure to grab my phone and turned to processed out the door with a brisked pace. I walked outside then turned around to make sure the door was locked ,before walking off on the road towards anywhere.

I sighed to myself and placed my hands inside my pockets. I had been walking for about thirty minutes and I was approaching a gas station. I keep walking until I was close and saw there was a bench ,so naturally I sat down and contemplated about everything that I have done from there to the current area I was in. I chuckled and said lowly to myself,"You coward...Can't even get over something so natural... I mustn't cry not anymore...", He stands up from the bench after resting for a bit and check to see if it was open. It was open, but it was weird there wasn't anyone at the register, so I look around the store for anyone. I stop when I hear this crunching sound it sounded like something was trying to chew up bone but all it was doing was just grinding it into sharp points. I move slowly and look over the counter to see to my horror a human body all butchered up like it had been mauled by thousands of claws and rows upon rows of teeth of blades. I had to hold the counter to stop myself from going faint from the smell and gore in front of me. I look at it once more before losing my breakfast all of over the floor. I was gagging from the smell that I had to cover my nose with the top of my shirt. My hands were shaking from the scene and the crunching sounds now seems louder and clearer. I couldn't take it anymore,so I ran for it sprinting out the gas station doors like a man that saw all of his fears combined into one being of atrocity. I ran back the way I had came. I stopped halfway and called the authorities. It rang once but then went into the 'please hold' bullshit... My heart was pounding from the terror and adrenaline my body provided. I was nearing home when I heard the screams... It sounded like a banshee and a gravel growl mixed together. And it sounded like it was right b-b-behind me...
