The prison cell was dark and full of despair like a cave from the deep reaches of hell! The shadows looked like they were creeping closer while I slept. I heard a loud bang like it was from an AK-47. When I heard that it felt like everything was closing all around me. The next minute I heard creaking sounds of the wooden floorboards. I hear dripping sounds like I am bleeding. I grid a metal poll from the structure of my bed and waited for the right moment. In the dark a man looked into my sell like I was his best friend. He shot the lock and set me free didn’t know who he was but I felt that I owe him my life for getting me out of that prison cell that looked the dark reaches of hell with no escape. As we were running out of the jail I heard laughing like the joker out of Batman coming from the jail then it all went quiet THEN!… I saw a face that looked like half gone with just ripped skin al over him. He was still laughing but I didn’t know why then I heard a loud bang coming from behind me and the next I felt like I was missing something then I fall to the ground. When I was passed out it felt like I was finally at piece then I saw a bright light and I saw the gateway to heaven. I reach out to hold god’s hand but something was holding me back it was my family saying “don’t do what we want, do what you want to do”. Then I wake up and everything around me seemed like paradise and there is no crime ever to unfold. Confusedly I thought this is all a dream and I believed it was real and I yelled out” this must be heaven and happiest and joy consumed the world.
