Limbo

I woke up in a dark forest. I could feel a warm liquid running down the back of my head. I reach my arm around my head only to find out that there was a massive bump on my head. Further inspection leads me to believe that I had been knocked out for a couple of hours now. I slowly started to lift my head off the cold, hard ground and I eventually get up. I stumble my way through the foggy forest and I eventually come across a silhouette of what appears to be an old, broken down house. I contemplate whether I should enter the house and look for help or if I should just turn around and look somewhere else. Thinking that this might be the only house that I stumble upon, I walk towards the old, crooked home.

When I got to the doorstep, I noticed that the door was all boarded up. I tried to grip one of the boards to rip it off but It didn’t budge. Exhausted, I walk around the house hoping to find a back door or even an open window that I could crawl through. The only open window I came upon was on the second floor and there was no way I was getting up there. I couldn’t help but notice that there was a shed behind the house and that the door wasn’t boarded up. I turn the rusty door knob and the door gently creeks open. Laying on the floor I find an old crowbar which had a thin layer of dust on it. I walk back to the front of the house and attempted to pry the door open. Eventually the door opens up just enough for me to slither through the open space.

Total darkness surrounded me as reached for my pocket and pulled out a lighter. I turn on my lighter and the small orange light makes it just bright enough to see. I notice that all the furniture looks very old and has a lot of dust on them. This house probably hasn’t been touched in years, maybe even decades. I scanned the walls of the room to try and find a light switch only to find nothing. I head down the hallway on my right and I find three rooms. I slowly enter the first room and I feel a cold current of air blow past me. The room I was in looked like a girl’s room. The walls were a sickening shade of pink and there were what seemed to be ripped up dolls and teddy bears littering the wooden floor. On the other side of the room, there was a small wooden desk with what looked like a small, red notebook that someone had left open. I walked towards the desk and picked the small notebook from the desk. I flipped through a couple of pages but it was all written in german. I noticed that the farther into the notebook I went the sloppier and worse the handwriting gets. I tried to skip all the way to the end but all I found were ripped up pages and what looked like bloodstains.

There was no doubt that I was genuinly creeped out, so I quickly got out of the room and proceeded to explore the rest of the house. I walked out into the hallway and saw a door on my right. I tried opening the door but it was locked so I figured maybe i could kick down the rotten door. I took a running start and broke down the door on my first try. Behind it there was a staircase heading down into the basement. I slowly walk down the stairs trying to avoid the pieces of glass that littered it. Eventually I made it to the bottom where it was nearly pitch black. I pulled out my lighter and turned it on again. There was red writing on the wall which read “LEAVE NOW”. Suddenly, I heard a loud crash upstairs. I run quickly run upstairs and I find the body of a teenage girl lying in the living room I was just in. I stand in front of the dead girl, horrified and unable to move. I heard footsteps behind me and I am confronted by what I could only describe as a shadow man.

He looks at me with his red, souless eyes.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

I fall backwards onto my hands, nearly hitting my head agaisnt the wall. The shadow man stands still and looks at me for a couple of seconds. I swiftly get up and start running to the door almost tripping on the body of the dead girl in the process. I exit out the house and start running as fast as I possibly could. I could feel the blood rushing through my whole body. I look behind me to see if the creature was still chasing me but as I turn my head to look behind me I feel something hit me in the back of the head.

I woke up in a dark forest. I could feel a warm liquide running down the back of my head. I reach my arm around my head only to find out there was a massive bump on my head. I slowly get up and start stumbling my way through the foggy forest. I am confronted by and old, broken down house. I decided to enter the the crooked home.
