Run

You open your eyes. You're standing in the woods before a door, white and tall, glancing down you see there is no handle. Mist starts gathering around your bare feet, your heart starts to beat fast, painfully fast. You hear the maniacal cackle behind you as you whip around to see where it came from. You know He is getting closer. Your palms are sweating as you try to open the white door. You close your eyes.“Open”, your mind voice says. It remains closed “You really shouldn't have tried to escape.”, He says. Your eyes fly open and start to water. You are helpless. The air around you suddenly becomes thick and suffocating, you claw at your neck as you hear that laugh again. That sinister giggle that grows as you lose oxygen. He is getting closer. You have a choice: open the door and continue the game or die a thousand horrible deaths. Once more, your mind voice screams “PLEASE OPEN!”

The air swirls and suddenly everything stops. You can't move as a single tear runs down your cheek. The door creaks open and you are met with darkness. You can feel Him looking for you. You run through the doorway and as it slams shut behind you, you see a light ahead. You begin to run towards it but stop upon seeing a small girl. You slowly walk towards her, hearing her cry softly. “Are you alright?” you ask her. Silence. “It's going to be okay.” you tell her. She slowly begins to rise. You look down, noticing she cradles a small foot in her bloody palms. She turns to face you,smiling. You scream as loud as you can.....

And in the distance, a laugh can be heard.
