@flashfictionfridayofficial - Not Alone
Since Halloween is coming up- I went- creepy, and I love writing ominous things so I hope you enjoy, also the first thing I’ve written for a couple weeks.
Words - 231
Empty, the nothingness creeping in, like that of a house that people were moving out of, slowly all the furniture gets swept away, leaving nothing but an empty room. But what if that dark corner wasn’t empty, what if you weren’t alone- no longer alone.
Not anymore… Perhaps it was a shadow, or a ghost, but- Was it really better? Was it better than being alone? Nightmares telling you, you’re not alone. Shadow people coming to you feeding on the emptiness that was felt deep inside. No- being alone was much better. But you were never alone, The shadows always checked on you, stole your energy, hid inside the mirrors.
You were tempted to break all the mirrors, not caring how many years of bad luck built up. Close the blinds, put a sheet over the mirrors, hid under your covers, telling yourself over and over again that they’re not there, they’re not there, they’re- but you feel it, the presence above you, It can’t see you, it can’t see you, you say to yourself again and again.
Then it goes away and you can sleep… then the next night it happens again. Again. There’s no such thing as being alone, there’s always a shadow hanging over you and when the lights go off the world is filled with that darkness. So no… You weren’t alone and you never will be.
