Short story

The Cave

 FLASH*

You open your eyes, a bright stark white rapidly engulfed by pitch black nothingness. Your senses take over your whole being, an overload of different sensations swallows up your attention. The tingling of your hands and feet as you attempt to stand up you feel a rush take over your body as the heat swells up your cheeks ablush. You taste a dryness in your mouth and smell a musty gravely aroma surrounding you. The ground you stand on not so solid as you would like, but disoriented as you are you manage to finally get yourself up on your feet. Using the hard bumpy slippery surface behind yourself as a support for your back too keep yourself uprightuprigth. Your sensory overload starts to fade and you begin to try and recollect your self. Your composure is shaken, you feel left so weakened your strength feels as if it faded away. Where are you? , you are left wondering where you are at last your memory puts you back home lying in bed. What is this strange place you ask yourself. Before you are really given a chance to investigate your surroundings you are taken aback by a bright flash of pure white.

WOOOSHFWOOO*

You rapidly shield your eyes from the sudden change of temperature and the violent vortex of air caused by the white tear in the darkness. A monochrome image before you a clashing of white and dark you see your surrounding area looks like a cave with bumps all around the deformed misshapen walls. In the quick glimpse you get you notice two oblong figures in front of you come to life, one right at the source of the white impurity within the darkness another mere feet away.

CLUSSSSHHH*

A stillness once again envelops you, the darkness starts to recollects itself around you the air stills and the light vanishes as fast as it came. Once again lost in the darkness once again left alone in the bitter cold with your heart faintly beating struggling to maintain consciousness. What happened, where are you now, what is this place?, Most importantly what were the two figures that stood out so drastically from this mysterious cave you found yourself in, . Appearing nothing natural no animal nor man had such a gnarly visceral visage. They were clearly alive however there was no doubt about that, a sense of doom and fear overtakes you as you notice they weren’t the only things alive. The cave was too, it happened so quickly and the figures took your attention away so suddenly that , you never noticed that the walls of the place you stood shifted and undulated with a pulsing rhythmic motion. You in your shock disregarded it taken in awe by the light and figures, you just pushed the rest of your surroundings to the back of your mind. You woke up mere seconds ago, such a jarring shock within seconds of standing yourself up you’re catapulted into a violent new environment the taste of danger lingers in the air.. No this chamber reeks of danger.

An alien chittering resounds in your ear emanating from the direction of the figures. Fear quickly takes over you but before you really had a chance to react, within minutes of awakening you feel your body go numb and limp as a green flash appears instantly and vanishes. You dont have a chance to scream you fall towards the floor. Your vision blurs your body goes cold you lose all feeling in your limbs. You’re helpless no one knows what’s happened to you, even if you were to scream no one would ever hear it. Like some twisted cosmic irony right here in this moment you needed the most to scream out at the top of your lungs.

Like your what was your life, your cold limp body lies on the floor.

Silenced
