Nightmare
By S.Gonzalez
You open your eyes, and ask aloud ,"Where am I?"
The memory of anything before your arrival seems a fog of distant feeling and yet it escapes as you try to remember. Looking down, you are only dressed in brown rags and no shoes. All around you, wails seem to rip and shred themselves against you seeming to vibrate the cell.
While glancing around you notice that the white polished tiles do nothing to silence the cries from the doomed people beyond them. The muscles in your legs start to twitch in anxiety, the breaths coming on slow and ragged. Sweat beads down your forehead and stings your eyes in salty fear. It's hot and the moans with dueling dimming screams echo from beyond the door-less cell. Counting your breaths, to ease the mind; one, out, two, out and suddenly the lights flicker off above you.
The darkness though quick leaves you shaking in it's embrace and in front of you a hallway appears. You escape the cell and run towards the dimly lit hallway, it's lights on the ceiling casts your shadow on the walls. You are a fleeing form in yellowish light, running in a slumping gait. A door can be seen, metal and corroded, a hope rises giving renewed strength in your flight. You notice the square window on the door, showing at first a faintest jade glow then a head of black hair rising.
Her face seemed a woman with pale blueish gray sky, as if drowned, her raven hair wet casting down to her shoulders. The eyes are closed and for ill reason they are sewn together giving vent to the scream building in your throat. Again, the lights go off, and in your confusion you noticed, you're suddenly in a courtyard. The sky dark and storming, clouds churning, and the dust dervishes sweeps across your feet.
The screams have stopped, even if you can't remember when and there she is again. She is dressed in a long yet tattered black dress. She is taller than you, much taller, her hair in a shroud covering her face. Nothing but silence crossed the distance in the walled space outside the hallway, just dirt packed and cracking beneath your bare feet. You can't move as she float towards you and your body shakes with a cold chill. Now she is at arm's reach with her head lowered as if looking at the round and reaching for you.
She looks at you now a face of pure despair, blues lips in a shape of pain and agony. Nothing behind her sewn shut eyelids, as if no eyes were behind them, her fingers reached now for them. The darkness rushes in from each side of you, leaving the grotesque act in front of you. A strange rotting smell invades your nose and mind, rooting flesh and bile assaults every fiber of sensation. The cell crashes against the darkness, reforming itself around her prying at her eyes as if gouging them out instead of removing the wires. The walls seemed vastly taller and enclosing, your breath catching as her hands lower.
Face to face with your paralyzed body, staring at the ruin of a beautiful face and the hollowed out eyes. Empty and forever is the dark in those eyes, a void so deep that it devours at your very soul. Her pale blue lips opens wide to show a shadow inside there, liquid and alive, rolling at your observation. You finally scream as sickly slick tendrils of black wrap themselves around your head.
A scream as teeth ,from across it's length, bite at the tender flesh of your lips, nose and ears. The pain of having flesh brutally removed and blood gushing into the evil form destroying every inch of skin it can..and then the lights go out.
