Not there yet


I woke up, yawning from the long sleep.
«What time is it?...» i said, as i pulled out my phone to check the time.

00:00

«That's unusual, i don't normally wake up around a time like this...» i muttered.

I stood up, hearing the bed creek. I walked out of the room, remembering that the next door needed a key to be open from. I checked every single drawer in the rooms, and finally found the key in the end.

I walked up to the door, there it said "Door 73." «Here we go...»

The lights flickered, as i noticed there were no closets in the room, i quickly spotted a vent. I heard the noise getting closer and closer while i was struggling to open the vent. Hurry hurry! I thought to myself, as it finally opened. I rushed inside the vent, waiting for the entity to rush past me, except it was the green entity.

«Well i'm in the vent, so i'm sure lucky now...» i said, as the green entity rushed past me multiple times.

Once i stopped hearing the entity, i opened the vent. The room was dark, so i grabbed my flashlight to see, though i was very excited to meet the entity in this room.

«Psst», someone said. I already knew who it was so i turned around.

«Hey there!» Screech said, as they were happily smiling at me.

«Hey Screech! I haven't gotten so many dark rooms lately!» as i patted their head.

«Yeah...i know, but hey i'm here now!» they said, starting to explain how their day went.

I listened to their story. Blabbering about their day and life.
As time quickly passed by, the little entity felt so sleepy. As we said our goodbyes, they didn't look so happy. I assumed they were just tired.

The next following doors were different than usual. The lights flickered more, and they were longer. I didn't really think much of it, but it started getting creepier.
I reached "Door 79", noticing the lights flickered a tiny bit. I assumed something strange was going on, so i hid in the closet.

I heard nothing, nothing at all. I hopped out of the closet, walking to the next door.
I opened the door handle, and to my surprise, i saw eyes again. I was already terrified the first time. I suddenly remembered what they said last time. «Seems like you won this time, we'll meet again...»

«So that's what they meant...» as i scratched my head.
I stared at the eye, as it was staring at me.
Minutes pasted, and i finally decided to go to the next door.
It wasn't a shock really, seeing plenty of eyes staring at me, but i was more scared what they had planned for me.
I reached "Door 83." I saw the exact same hallway when i ran from the entity.

I was almost at the next door, when i heard a eerie sound behind me. This is it.

I looked behind, seeing the black puddle just like last time. Once it started marching at me, i grabbed the door handle and swung the door open.

I followed the blue light like last time.
Furnitures started to fall down, so i had to crouch like last time. This time the doors were longer, and i was getting exchausted going through each.

Finally, i reached the room with fire and hands. I rushed to get through, as i took a little peek behind me, and saw the entity just behind me. I threw myself through the door, as i almost missed the door handle to close the door.

I heard banging from the door, but this time, they didn't speak.
I was left with no breath. I started getting dizzy, grabbing the nearest object near me as possible.

I couldn't. It was as something was grabbing me down, it was so hard to breath.

I instantly blacked out. It felt so good to rest for a bit. Maybe i'll wake up from this nightmare? Though, i thought the same thing last time. Just...go sleep now.

I drifted away in silence.

"I'll wake up soon from this nightmare."
