2018
The door creaked open a dark shadow appeared. I didn’t know what to do so I hide under my blankets. The wood creaked as the stranger walked, I held my breath so the stranger does not hear me. blankets open I go silent, the person sees me and points a shotgun to my head, I pass out.
Moments later I woke up in a speeding vehicle , there was a sack over my head so I tried taking it of, but I was handcuffed, I opened my eyes but could only see darkness I could feel the sack against my head. So I sat there till the end. Moments later the van screeched to a stop, my heart beat was pumping so hard I would pass out again.
The van door opened up and I was shoved outside, the cold breeze was pushed against my body, I started shivering. I heard a faint creak of a door and the sack wa pulled of my head. I blinked a couple of times and looked at the walls, there was people's heads and animal heads. I got scared but couldn’t do anything.
The handcuffs were taking of me and I walked slowly taking deep breaths. I was then shoved into a room and heard the doors shut, it echoed all around me. Days weeks maybe months passed then suddenly I heard a gun getting loaded. I got worried so I hid.
The door opened and I heard a faint voice saying “come out come out wherever you are”he screamed. There was an opening so I bolted out the door and ran into a nearby forest. loud footsteps were behind me and I heard shouting and banging, I didn’t know what to do so I ran father and father until I heard nothing.
I knew I had to go to a town or a city so I decided to go looking. On the way I found a berry bush so I took some for the way, later on I found some wolfs so I slowly walked around them, but I made a loud thud. They turned around, I bolted away while they sprinted. I ran faster then every but lost my breath, their was loud cracks in my body before I managed to scream.
