immortal to pain
i lay in bed with my eyes wide open, almost as if they had been blinded by the bright California sun. my window is open which is very odd considering the fact that i don't recall opening any windows before i went to bed that night. a cool breeze brushes my cheek which would be normal but it didn't come from the direction of the window, it came from the wall. a thick piece of plaster giving off wind? i don't think so. i get up to investigate, what a mistake that was. i climb out of bed and put on my bathrobe. i can feel the floorboards creak underneath my toes and my hair flutters from the unusual breeze from the wall. i grab a flashlight from my closet and i spot a piece of string at my door. i go to pick it up and down the hall i see a full blown homicide trap with fish hooks, claws, and knives. i let out a huge gasp and rub my eyes to see if I'm dreaming, nope this is pure reality. i turn around to go back to bed but it seems to be growing like a germ inside of an infants weak body.i realize that there's nowhere else to go but i know that my life is now going to be very limited or non existent. i decide to plunge toward the window to escape and i almost make it but a dark grey creature with bold bright yellow eyes and wet fur. i barely murmur "hi." and the creature pushes me into hell city and i fall on top of the spikes and they squeeze into the marrow of my bones and I'm surrounded by a pool of blood. i cry and my tears aren't your typical tears, I'm crying a river of hemoglobin and I'm freaking out. i get up only to trip onto fish hooks and they are now sinking into my spine and they hook onto the floorboards so i cant get up, I'm a fighter though so i try to force my body to uproot from the floor and a layer of skin comes off. i scream but no sound is released from my blood stained lips and the creature throws me down the hallway and i land in a sea of poisonous snakes who bite my toes and sink their venom into my brain. i look at my reflection in the mirror and my once jet black hair s now icy blond and my eyes aren't blue anymore, they are bold bright and yellow. i am now the creature i feared a few seconds ago. there is no escape, no loophole, no way out of this. i am immortal
