perspective hallway | nov 2 | 1:00pm
jordan couldn’t take it. he didn’t want to move from his spot. he wanted to scream at the top of his lungs to get the entity’s words out of his mind. he was just a boy when his mother died but he remembered every minute of her last days. he remembered the pain and sadness that everyone experienced when she was pronounced dead and the struggles their family was dealing with even ten years later. it was too much. his head was starting to spin. he needed to sit down.
after a few long moments, he moved to lean against the wall but his legs gave out so he slid down, back against it and hung his head in his hands as he sat. he was so drained. he was exhausted. he was hungry. he wanted to go home but he didn’t even know if he would. he wanted to talk to his sister but there was no way since his phone was dead. he was trapped inside of a haunted house.
he wasn’t sure how long he was sitting up there after the entity left when he heard footsteps nearing him. he wasn’t really sure he wanted to talk to anyone. not after that. not ever, probably. he just wanted to be left alone. he wanted to rot in this corner of the house for all eternity. he was at such a loss. he felt like such a failure. everything that the entity said was still ringing in his ears. he’d tried so hard his entire life and it still pointed out he was a failure because he couldn’t take care of his dad.
with the footsteps getting closer with every moment, jordan opened his eyes. his head was still spinning and he knew he looked like a mess. he most likely smelled since he hadn’t showered in the last few days. none of that mattered, though. jordan couldn’t care less. he actually hoped the person nearing him wouldn’t notice and keep moving on. he wasn’t in the mood to speak at all. or do anything.
