Where Am I?
My chest begins to feel heavy like a weight setting in as I stand with my toes intertwining the blades of grass before the structure. I found myself in a place that I have been before. A house lay before my feet; its elegance reflects its simplicity. The house is stout; one story tall with just a door and a four-panel window that has a panel shattered out, yet the roof is as beautiful and intricate as the top of a Cathedral. I sallow the lump in my thought and step up to the door. My hand begins to quiver as I slowly turn the knob; a white light begins to penetrate my eyes as the door is finally opened. As my eyes begin to adjust the room begins to fill my vision. A hallway that stretches farther than the eye can see is lined with an infinite number of doors one each more identical then the last, the room being clearly bigger than the physical house. The ceilings florescent lights cast a ghostly glow along the infinite hall that makes my stomach churn. My train of thought breaks as a tiny dog appears in front of me. A Yorkshire terrier with a soft black coat and deep brown eyes looks up and me and begins to speak in my mother’s voice, “Search for something that isn’t Hidden.” The thought begins to perplex me as the dog beings to walk down the hall. His statement persuades me to begin to open the doors. The first one I choose reveilles a small boy sitting in an empty room all by himself. The sounds of children’s tears fill the room. The boy looks up at me and attempts to speak to me, but boy has no face as the crying turns to mocking laughter. This sight scares me down the hall, as I walk step by step I can hear the silence to resonate off the walls. I pick another door further down the hall to have the smell of popcorn crawls up my nose. The room shows an empty movie theater with one man sitting alone. He is watching a film and laughing in an uproar, the film his is viewing shows himself performing normal tasks and failing. He beings to laugh and yell at the screen until he turns and shrieks at me. This sends a fear down my spine like one I have never felt. I run and sprint down the hall and never read the end, I run like I am being chased by something even though nothing is following me. I finally grab a door and run in the room, but to my avail the room contains a dark, cold, deep void that I fall into and never seem to reach the bottom. Then I finally realize this place I have been before, the feeling I got was remembering how it is to be lost in my mind.
