Nothing more

How many times should I relive this nightmare? How many times do I need to cease living to make myself free from the binding of this world? I just want to be in peace, grant me that wish of almighty being, but that’s true, you don’t care, and even if you cared, you wouldn’t help me, because I don’t believe in you, my last cry for help was just that, whining.

When I open my eyes again I was in the bathroom, at first I rejoice myself, started jumping and smiling like an idiot, and took a moment rest at the side of the sink, but when I open the door, there was the same main lobby with the chess pattern and all the crazy stairs that were above and below between them, I open my eyes in pure fear and put on my knees, no matter how much I rub my eyes or with how much force I do it, there was no escape from that, my vision didn’t betray me, this was real.

—What? You really thought you could escape? Don’t be so naive, you promise us something, right?

The doppelgänger show itself, I look at him but it didn’t have a face, it was my same voice, body and clothing but there was no face, I look at him with my vision lost, he smiled and started laughing when he saw me but when I did not make a reaction to that he just stop.

—What? You’re not entertaining, dude, anyway, you got work to do, so chop chop.

—Right…

Is there anything I could do to save myself from this situation? No, there was none, there was no easy way out, I looked up at the ceiling and saw the chandelier balancing and when I looked down I saw a crater on the floor, something did happen, but was there anything good to investigate it now?

I reallocate everything, leaving the spheres in the same spot and touching the rug to see if the oil was still fresh, I pour a lot the first time, so there was still plenty of it, I took the sticks and put them on the edges of the hallway just leaving one for me, I’m going to make my way out with every single bastard that dares to show up here.

I hide in the hallway, crawling in the walls to stay on the ceiling and waiting, I stayed there patiently, waiting for my victim, I was moving my leg and moving my finger up and down in the middle of my stick, I was getting bored, I forgot how time work anymore, for someone maybe just a couple of seconds had pass, for others minutes, hours or even days or weeks, for me in it felt like all of it and the same time.

I was just staring at the hallway spinning around, I was looking like an undead, drooling, with my eyes closed, just barely hanging there. When I least expected my victim to appear, I couldn’t see it clearly since it was dark, not that it really matters for me.

I started to approach it with my pointy stick. The human was about to climb the window, even with the spinning it didn’t even bother it, that made me mad. Why was it that I couldn’t stay put in here the first time but the human could without any hesitation?

I throw myself into the human with the spear and hit the wall, the human looks at me with… there was nothing, his face was completely covered by shadows, but I didn’t give up, I wanted my freedom so I started to hit it multiply times just to fail every time, the human run away from me and I started to chasing it.

Running, we were running around the house, everything that the human made me so mad, he was running like nothing while I was tripping on the hallway. Why? Why could it run like that? It was like chasing a rabbit, I try to throw my stick but I failed miserably.

Even when I try to recover it, it would be in vain. We exit the hallway and we were again in the main lobby, in there they were shadows looking at me, or that’s what it seems, her heads didn’t stop moving at where I was heading, didn’t matter if I took a step back or stay till, they were probably looking for me to trap that human.

If that was the case I couldn’t fall, I started to running in the stairs for the human, it was running so fast, I was trying to catch up but every time I felt like being close, I would be left behind in no time, what really make me scared this time was the shadows approaching me. Did I fail already? I had no time to think they started chasing after me so I need to end this quickly

But I couldn't, I knew it wouldn’t be possible so I turn back and point my improvise spear to them, I move it at the sides and they begin to retreat a bit, it was working, I just need it a bit more of time, I need to tell them but at that moment I felt my hand got hit by other shadow that was behind me, it was a perfect opportunity for the other shadows since they began to get over me, one hold my head and my arms and legs, I try to move but they were too strong to fight back, one of them took out of his pocket a pointy object and stab me with it.

I felt a blade enter my body, my eyes open and I started to close it at a slow pace, this sensation was new, I didn’t feel happy nor sad, it was just a moment of peace the one that I was searching for all this time was finally with me, I felt how the shadows got up and then, nothing, black, but it was different, this time, I was no conscious, finally I could rest.
