I took a deep breath, inhaling the dusty air that was all around me. This was my home now, I had to keep telling myself. I could hear stirring in the corner, and immediately I knew what it was. Those creatures, never left me alone. Constantly watching me, as if they were waiting for something. For what, I don't know, and I'm not so sure if I want to. I sat on the corner of my bed, gazing at the flickering candle on the old, worn desk next to me. It was the only source of light I used, seeing as electricity only showed the monsters more. I would rather know they are there, then actually see them lurking. The last time they had ever bothered to attack me was at my old home. No, wait, that was my parents. When they died, no when I killed them I had to move into this god forsaken place.[/color] [/blockquote]
I pick up my candle and head down the hall towards the kitchen. I squeeze my eyes tightly at every brush I feel on my hands or legs. Suddenly a large knock to my hand causes my to lose my grip on the candle, sending it plummeting down. To my horror, the flame doesn't extinguish, but grows, slowly spreading across the floor. Soon enough, the walls were covered in the red hot tounges of fire, and I knew I had to get out of there. My feet slammed against the hard wood floors of the house, as I made my way to the front door. Reaching my destination, I paused for a brief moment. This would be the first time stepping outside since "the accident". I grip the doorknob and turn it, swinging the door wide open. The wet, dewy grass feels foreign on my bare feet. I sit in the front yard, crying, wondering what to do next.
