A Glimpse of Hope

Another day, Another failure. How can I fall for the most oldest trick in the book? A better question would be why haven't I given up yet?

"Meet me at a place at 10:00 P.M. There's going to be no one there."she whispered into my ear seductively. When I got there, there was literally no one there!

And I fucking fell for it! What the hell is wrong with me!?

I wander into the cold, rainy, gloomy night trying to answer these questions.

I unlock the door to the house finding it dark and empty of the presence of my family. Usually they're at my brother's basketball games. I'm usually the one who watches the house while they're gone.

"Why can't you be more like your brother!?!" My mother's words were drilled into my mind and stuck to me like super glue.

All my life is "Do this, do that, grab this, grab that, you're grounded!" When I tell my teachers about this, they say "it's just life and you got to live with it." It seems that my teachers and animals are the only people and, well, animals I can trust. That's fucking pathetic to me. But

I got to live with it.

I put my wet black leather jacket on the velvet couch, took a seat on the reclining chair,

trying to just relax and forget about the whole thing.

15 minutes gone passed and I hear my phone ringing and it said Kyle on the incoming dial.  Without any time to hesitate, I answered it.

"Hello?" I spoke with a dull expression on my face.

"Hey man!! What's up?". I heard him say. I missed Kyle. When I'm feeling down, he always cheers  me up. We don't call each other that much anymore ever since his family moved to Florida.

"I'm not doing so good." I replied

"What's wrong?"

"I got rejected." I said even more depressed than I usually was.

"Again? That's like your 13th time!"

It's true. It's been 12 useless attempts  trying to hold a successful relationship.

"I know I know. It's just no matter what I try or do, it always ends up a failure!" I said getting even angrier as I spoke. I hate it when keep reminding me of something if it just happened about 20 minutes ago. It justs seems pointless and annoying and it only seemed to get me even more upset.

"Cheer up. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who's interested in you." I doubted this

"Thanks for the support." Even though I didn't believe a single damn word he said, he is my best friend, so I didnt want to dissapoint him.

"No problem."

So after that talk I resumed my relaxation process: Drink a pepsi or two and watch tv.

I kepting skipping through until this one particular channel that said "WARNING". I went to channel 2 where the warning was labeled.

"Winds will presume to be in the speeds of 65 mph. All citizens in the area must evacuate into their shelters, lock the windows, lock your doors,

"and hide your husband 'cause they rapin everybody out here". I remarked, chuckling to myself.

to you or others. For all of those in the " The tv instantly shuts off along with other electrical apliances in the house.

I look out the window to see that a hurricane is coming straight towards my house! Without regard of anything in the house, I head towards the shelter in the basement as all the upper half of the house gets demolished into broken glass shards and wooden splinters.

I hid in the corners  of the basement. Many thoughts start to enter my mind like "Is this how I'm going to die?" A lonely, gullible, unlucky, abused, shuned son of a bitch?"

I thought I would be safe in a shelter completly made of bricks. And boy was I thought wrong. The hurricane blasted right through it! I was nearly inches away from the hurricane. But for some reason, I wasn't effected by the bits and pieces that used to be the house or the hurricane itself. It didn't hurt at all! It felt like everything started to go right through me.

However, there was one thing that seem to stand out from the whole big hurricane of destruction. It was the bottom of the hurricane. It seems to stand out from the entire wind tunnel of chaos. From the bottom of the hurricane was a glowing bright yellow orb. "Come Closer."  A female, disembodied voice said that actually came from the core!

"Wh- who are you?"

" Please, trust me. You'll be safe here, I promise.

"Well that was creepy." I thought to myself. I then said to myself again(Yes I do that when I get nervous ok?): "Is that voice insane? Why would I walk into a hurricane!? But then again, I'd rather listen to the voice than get shanked by glass!"

I walked towards it until I reached it. The inside of the hurricane. I closed my eyes to embrace the wind. Some may think I'm crazy, however the wind felt like normal wind instead of high speeding winds that should be

tearing me apart

. It had the feeling of a instant cooldown on a hot, summer day.

while that certain feeling lasts. Without thinking, I reached it out with my hand and try to touch the light to have a feeling of the enchanting glow. A bright light erupted from the core that surrounded the area shaped like a circular forcefield where my house used to be. I had to cover my eyes with the mid-section of my hand  because I couldn't see a damn thing! But I can FEEL a damn thing. And what I felt was one of the wooden floor panels whacked me in the head.

All I saw after that...

was darkness.
