an old english paper. its kinda creepy... but im HAPPY! :D

It was myself, nothing else around me. I was alone. The thunder and lightening outside was a warning to me that I had to get out- now. There was absolutely no movement around me. This could be the end. Out of nowhere, doors started to slam themselves shut. The fog inside the room was too much to handle and I began to gag. Still afraid that this was the end, I made an attempt to escape this melancholy room. I failed, there was nowhere that I could go, I couldn’t see. I was held into my place by something that like no more than chains enclosing around my ankles. Randomly, screams began to fill the room and the air grew thin. As I was gasping for oxygen, the ground beneath me shook. Before I knew it, I was on the floor. The taste of blood filled my mouth. This came as a great shock to me. I realized my teeth had penetrated through my lip. I had no time to worry about this; my only goal was to make it out alive. I rolled to my feet and began to run. The chains around my ankles were slowing me down, but I couldn’t stop. I had to keep going. The path I was taking was like a maze, there were turns every two steps.The ominous screams I heard before, were back. This time, they were louder and much closer. I looked behind me to see if anything was there, nothing. I kept running. There was nothing else I could do now. My lip was bleeding horribly, I was caught in some rusty chains, and my vision began to fade to black around the edges, as my heart was pounding to an extreme, I could see the opening. The door that led out of the room was in arms reach to me, but before I could grip the door knob, it opened. I thought I was free. The chains around my ankles began to tighten. I fell to the ice-cold floor flat on my face and I was being dragged back to the path. That was the last place on Earth that I wanted to go, but I had no control of where I was going now. I was Death’s toy. The ground beneath my stomach felt hot as I was being pulled. My head hit one of the walls with great force, and before I knew it, everything went black…Hours later, I woke up and everything was white and calm, a dramatic change from before. I heard a faint beeping sound near me; I realized I was in a hospital room. At least I made it out of that horrid place alive. A tall lean man walked into the room dressed in all white, and began to speak too softly for me to make out the words. All I could tell was that he was talking to a person in the room as I was lying helplessly on the bed with my eyes closed. I didn’t feel like keeping them open because it just felt so horrible staring at all those fluorescent lights. My insides were burning as if they were on fire. One thing the doctor said was a little bit too clear. I wished I didn’t hear it, but I already had.“I’m sorry ma’am. There’s really no hope. Your son has lost too much blood from the gash in his lip. He was also dramatically traumatized. Even if he did survive, he wouldn’t be able to live a normal life.” My mom. I knew it. The doctor was talking to my mother. I didn’t want her to see the pain in my eyes so I didn’t bother to look at her.“Nurses? Would you please discharge the machines?” they covered me up in a blue-white sheet. My entire life flashes before me, as the nurses unhooked my life line. I saw everything from being born, to the deathly room. Now the only thing filling the room was the sound of my mother’s grieving whimper, and a long continuous beep.
