Outside My Room, by Markuz
|
It came to a crossroads some fifty miles off. We
should have never been out to begin with but it was too
late by this point. A simple look around seemed the best
idea though the inclement weather proved otherwise. And so
we were trapped inside a metal prison with only a tempered
glass view to the world.
The unpaved roads were too wet to drive on and the
area was so fogged that a simple arms distance was too far
apart. And yet we fully understood that danger that
awaited us if we stayed even another five minutes. And
foolishly we started the car in a hurried frenzy only to
realize the ground beneath us had already pulled us in.
However, we pressed the gas and thrusted forward so as to
attempt to pull the car out of our inevitable doom, but
the weather this day was to our disadvantage. An angry
hand forced the key out of the ignition, leaving it half
intact and useless. Built up frustration and anxiety had
now fogged our view and the only solution seemed clear.
And so we let out an almost psychotic rage which could
only be described as a delusional tantrum or seizure of
some sort. And in what seemed like minutes, every inch of
glass was shattered, allowing us to escape into the dark,
stormy night although it also provided what was outsied
with direct access to us.
And so we sat, sinking into an almost certain death.
We had only our bloodied selves and dark gloom about us.
And so we decided to leave fate and destiny to their work
as we lay down and sleep. The last thing I remember is the
cold feel of dark rain and the metallic taste of blood.
And so we rested.
Soon I would awake in a panicked frenzy, only to find
myself in a struggle. After a sharp pinch and five
minutes, I realized I was home. In a big living space with
little more furniture that a finely decorated dorm room.
My friends greeted me and gave me the coat I'd come to
love. Tangled in my fabric jail, we lay in the corner of
our padded room and once more wait for the time spent
outside my room.
