2023-01-05 23:26:24He continues to walk until he feels a cold breeze hit his skin. He looks ahead. There is nothing.
“Stop!” a voice shouts from the darkness.Sean turns around. There is nobody. Just emptiness surrounding him. A sudden rush of wind hits him causing him to stumble to the floor. He quickly stands up and looks at where the wind came from. He hears shuffling, moving, and something else. He turns around. There is a silhouette in the darkness just a few feet away. Its arms and legs are shaking. It seems to be struggling. Sean's mouth drops open as he recognizes what it is. He runs back over to the door, slamming it shut behind him just in time as he watches the creature jump through the opening. It lands with a thud, scratching the floor before it quickly gets up and runs toward him.Sean grabs the handle, preparing himself to open it once more, as the monster reaches for him.However, before the monster could grab him, he hears a crash from above. He looks back to see the monster being pushed down the steps. He runs back to the stairs just as he hears a crash come from above.Sean climbs the stairs until he reached another small hallway. He walks along it as another crash comes from above. Sean turns to see a piece of the ceiling breaking loose as the figure falls onto the ground, landing right in front of him. Sean screams, backing away.However, he trips over the object in front of him and falls. In front of him lays the monster, which is still clutching onto the shattered ceiling tile.Sean quickly rolls to his side and scrambles away from the fallen creature before it gets to him. It groans and struggles to get up, but then it collapses once more. Sean quickly crawls away as the thing gets closer and closer to him. It reaches out its hand, aiming directly for him.“Run!” Sean screams.It moves its hand to the left, causing the tiles covering the doorway to fall on top of Sean. Sean crawls as fast as he can before the creature reaches him. As he crawls, it grabs onto his leg pulling him towards itself. Once it gets ahold of him, it begins dragging Sean deeper into the ruins.It throws Sean to the side, knocking the wind out of him. Sean crawls away as it stands upright with its massive wings stretched out. Sean gets up from his position and looks at the creature with fear. It walks toward him, showing no intention to stop. He backs away slowly, terrified, but there is nowhere to escape. He stops when the creature comes closer to him.The creature stops as well. It slowly reaches out for Sean, grabbing him by the collar. He looks into its red eyes which are now shining brightly due to the full moon. He feels the warmth emanating from the creature's body. He knows that the monster will soon eat him, so he puts all his strength into one final punch. It crashes right into the monster's face and immediately, it releases him. Sean runs as fast as he can away from the monster as the monster staggers on its feet. After a couple of minutes of running, the creature gives chase.Sean runs for as far as his legs will carry him and then falls to his knees. Before he can get up the monster grabs hold of him from behind. It holds Sean in its grip and shakes him hard, making him scream and whimper in pain.The monster raises Sean high in the air and slams him against the wall. It holds him in one hand while the other hand presses against the wound, pressing hard enough to bleed.Sean is starting to lose consciousness. Suddenly he can feel himself being dropped, his neck twisting painfully as he falls to the ground. He opens his eyes and sees black spots in front of his eyes. The creature slowly stands up straight. Sean sees a long dark red blade protruding from its chest. He turns to look at the monster before.There was a moment of silence before it started laughing, causing the blade to vibrate with laughter.Sean sees the red liquid dripping from the wound on the monster's chest. The creature slowly approaches Sean, lifting its knife high above it as if it wants to strike down on him. It brings the knife down, and Sean closes his eyes waiting for the inevitable end.Suddenly he feels a slight burning sensation on his right shoulder. Then everything turns white.

Regina notices that it's just ahead of them so she sits back comfortably in her seat and watches the cars rushing past them. They make their way through the intersection smoothly and continue to drive through the middle of town for a few more minutes. After passing by several buildings that looked rather fancy, they eventually arrive at their destination. Regina watches Daniel's reaction carefully as they approach the entrance to the hotel. He stares out of the window silently, looking uninterested.“Here it is…” he speaks suddenly.She turns toward him and smiles. “This is our hotel? This is your favorite hotel?”“Yup...this is my favorite hotel. Come on...let's go check us in.” He says, taking her hand and leading her through the glass double doors to the lobby of the hotel.As they enter the lobby, she notices that there’s very little activity. There’s a couple of men who seem to be talking on the telephone in a corner and there's a woman who seems to be arguing w

He leads her across the yard to one of the garage doors. “Come on. Let’s find your car.” He mutters. “I need to take you somewhere important.”“Okay… where?” She asks curiously, following after him as they walk toward her truck.His grip on her arms tightens momentarily, and she wonders what he must be thinking about. They make their way over to her black, shiny SUV and he helps her climb into the passenger seat. He walks around to the driver' s side and slams the door shut before turning to stare at her for a second before starting the car and driving out of the driveway.The streets are filled with traffic, which isn't unusual at this hour. It’s late afternoon and most people have stopped working to spend some time outdoors in the cold rain. She watches as the trees fly by through the windshield and she realizes that this must be how Daniel felt whenever he drove through these roads. That was the reason why he didn't speak much about himself. But maybe he never truly wanted to talk

Sam frowns but drops the subject anyway and walks towards the car.As they prepare to depart, Jack pauses, taking one last glance around his home. Then noticed his wife standing at the other side of the room. She smiles sweetly, "You are trying your best” She walks over to embrace her husband. Jack hesitates momentarily before reciprocating the hug. “The kids don't see that ” Jack whispers. Sophia squeezes her husband tighter, "Your children love you, you're doing great, and you make a wonderful father. They need a strong person that will take care of them, and you just happen to be that person”"Thank you," Jack breathes out gratefully when suddenly the car horn blares, startling the couple."Can we move?!” Emily yelled out the window impatiently, clearly annoyed. Jack and Sophia nod in unison.Samuel is the last to leave the house, walking down a flight of stairs with the pipe tightly gripped in his hands.As soon as they were all loaded into the car, Jack sits behind the steer

Nothing. So she slowly steps outside and closes the door behind her, stepping under the protective shelter of the staircase. The rain continues to pour on, even heavier than before.Suddenly she hears loud, thunderous footsteps coming from her right. She looks over and catches sight of Daniel running out into the street. The rain suddenly stops and the air grows quite humid. Regina takes a couple of deep, calming breathes and tries to control her breathing as well. After a minute she hears the sound of tires rolling on wet concrete. She turns her head to look in the direction where she heard it and she freezes in place as she realizes what’s happening.A car is speeding down the road, heading straight for Daniel. She watches as it speeds up and approaches him. She can hear the engine revving loudly as it gets closer and closer to him. She can see the driver’s side window roll down and she can see the man’s face clearly. He’s smirking evilly as he drives by Daniel, who is standing froz

Regina sits up, placing her elbows on her thighs as she stares at the window across the room. She's afraid of facing what she did last night, but at the same time she has no desire to leave him alone either. He's never been so open with her before and she doesn't understand why he' s doing it now. Maybe he's scared that she'll think less of him after she found out about everything he went through. It doesn't seem like that's what he is worried about though, because he never told her about it. Even after all these weeks together he barely opened up to her. She knows that he has feelings for her, but she still feels like he doesn’t trust her enough.After a moment she gets up from the bed and starts walking toward the bathroom. As soon as the door closes behind her, Regina leans onto the counter. After spending hours and hours just staring at those damn walls yesterday, she's really starting to grow frustrated at herself. How could she let those bastards win? What did she expect? She sh

his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture. She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and how many nights he spent tossing and turning last night due to his dream. “You didn’t have any bad dreams this night?”He shakes his head and looks away. “I’m glad you stayed.”“Me too.” She agrees.They both remain quiet for a few minutes, neither wanting to talk about the events of the previous evening. But eventually they must break the silence, because he speaks up."So… You came back here? I thought…”"No, I didn’t stay here. I left immediately after you fell asleep."He smiles at her. "Good morning." He repeats, making her laugh."Good morning." She replies."What would you like for breakfast?" He asks.She looks at him questioningly. "Um, what exactly is your definition of 'breakfast?'” Sh
