Shards of glass.

I starred out of the rusty, dirty, old window, wishing I could be on the other side of it. The luscious, green, forest looked way more comforting and inviting than the dusty, black, lifeless room that I was sitting in now. I sighed, wanting to experience what it was like to be outside. I had never left this house, they had made it forbidden, and I longed go outside for once and breath fresh air. I was contemplating what to do, stay or leave? I kept my place by the window and fixed my eyes on the outside world.

I made my decision just as the sun started to set and the day came towards dusk. They wouldn't like it, and they would come after me, but I couldn't make myself stay in this house forever. I had to be free, and by doing this I would be. I slowly rose to my feet, I was weak, for I was well underfed, but I managed to summon all my energy and stand without collapsing. I stared out the window again, it was taller than me, which was convenient since I didn't really want to crawl through a small window. I took one step so that I would be standing directly in front of the window. I had to do this. The sky was now completely black and the stars were starting to sparkle in the night-like blackness. I drew in a deep breath, summoning all my courage. I finally chased away my fears and lifted my clenched fist towards the glass. 

My fist came towards the glass with incredible speed and force and I felt my hand press against the glass a split second before it all shattered beneath the pressure of my clenched fist. Shards of glass flew all around the room like a swam of wasps. I felt the excruciating pain and I caught a glimpse of my crimson blood that was oozing out of the wound on my hand. I didn't hesitate, I instantly jumped out of the dirty, old house and into the wide, wonderful world. I heard them coming after me. Waving their torches through the night and shouting in a language that I couldn't understand. I ran as fast as I could and didn't look back, I just kept running through the thick, tall grass and hoped that they were nowhere near me. I kept running until I finally reached the end of the forest and I was suddenly running through a long, wide, endless field. I didn't stop running, even though I couldn't hear their voices anymore. I couldn't risk being captured and...possibly killed. I kept running without any sense of direction, I kept running with a happy feeling in my heart.

They saw me running through the field, but they didn't come after me. They just stood there and watched as I ran into the distant night towards my freedom.

Take me away.

The fresh, cool sea-breeze whipped my hair out of my face and made me feel alive, though I knew I wouldn't be for much longer. I stood with my toes buried in the sand and looked out into the blue water. The sun reflected on the sea, making it look like there were a thousand diamonds embedded on its surface. The sun slowly set over the horizon, turning the sky into the pink and orange colour of dusk. I knew I had to leave soon, or I'd be in grave danger, yet, I couldn't make myself motivated enough to leave this calm, relaxing beach. I finally decided to just stay, I knew it would do me no good, but at least I'd die with this beautiful scene fixed in my mind. 


The night came slowly, slower than I expected, as I waited for them to find me. When the sun disappeared and the moon finally showed I started to get worried. I looked around me for any signs that they were coming, but I found nothing. I was suddenly anxious, I wanted to them to take me away, I wanted to be swallowed up by their evil ways. I buried my feet further into the sand and waited for my fate.


I didn't hear footsteps or voices, their torches didn't cast my shadow as they came up behind me, they just suddenly took me in their grasp and pulled me away from the breathtaking beach. I didn't resist, but I didn't walk with them. I let them drag me through the soft sand.


We reached the pitch black cave that was well hidden in the large mountainside. They carelessly threw me into the cave and shut the iron bars. It was a cage, I was trapped here, not that I cared anymore. I sat down in what I thought was the back of the cave. I sat there for ages, hours it seemed, entirely motionless. I huddled my knees to my chest and let the darkness engulf me. Drowning me. Taking me away.


They came for me just after the sun rose, and that was all I remembered.

Sudden, absolute darkness.

I stared up into the starry night sky and watched as the moon slowly disappeared behind the misty clouds. The stars sparkled like diamonds as I stared and stared, never taking my eyes off the glowing moon. More people gathered around me in the moonlit forest, all of them staring into the sky like I did, watching, waiting. Suspense hung in the air as we all watched the moon travel across the sky. It wouldn't be long now, soon the moon would disappear completely behind the clouds and it would all be over.

Everyone was in the forest then, all of them staring into the sky and waiting for the moon to become invisible.

The moon disappeared completely and no one could find it. The forest was now completely black, the moon was gone. The waiting stopped, but nothing happened. We were all still alive, yet, the world was supposed to end. Everyone including myself looked around in confusion, wondering if anyone knew what was going on, but all of them had the same look of disbelief written on their faces.

We didn't know what was happening, we didn't know what to think, we didn't know what to do. But we did know one thing for sure; something was terribly wrong.
