I scampered quickly down the half illuminated corridor, made a sharp turn into what I thought was a storage closet, and forcefully hurled and crashed into a large object that made a loud racket, announcing more unwanted attention that I didn't need. The entrance to the janitor's closet was dislodged, and the rest of the supplies were scattered around on the ground. I don't know who was after me, but I did know that I'm not enjoying being pursued, and I could tell that they didn't enjoy my company either. Wherever I was, I needed to find an exit, and quickly. I grabbed the most formidable weapon I could use. A mop, it probably won't cause that much damage, but I may be able to use it as a distraction of some kind. "Stop running immediately, there is no point. We will always find you, Alec …show more content…
"You may find me but you will never take me!" I exclaimed with intensity. I knew that was probably a lie, but I didn't care about that anymore, I just needed to clear my head. My Dad always said to clear your head whenever I was nervous or worried. It seemingly helps you think better than letting your nerves taking control of my nervous wreck of a body. I knew that if I let fear take over me, I will sense and hear things better, so I did. I exited the Janitor's closet and tore towards an exit sign and kept following each one until... I was out, above ground, but in a cavern. The cavern smelled musty, blocking my nose. It was a closed space, no more than 15 feet across and 10 feet tall. I immediately dropped my mop, the place had a classy yet sleek style, wires running up and down the walls. Suddenly a deep rumbling noise seemed to come from even deeper underground, wobbling and shaking, filling the cavern with a shattering eclipse of noise. I was falling, I braced myself into a survival position, getting ready to do a roll, and waited to see the ground. But, for
The first half of my book “The Cellar” written by Natasha Preston, was so good that I could not put the book down. The girl, at that point, had no memories which include her name and anything before she woke up on a dirty, bloody cabin floor. She looked down at her throbbing hand and found that two of her fingernails were missing.
I could hear the car engines roaring to life, horns honk above me. Tiny footsteps echo throughout the tunnel as I leant up against a brick wall. The tunnel seemed to carry on forever like there was no ending. Yellow dimmed lights lead through the path of the tunnel. I tried to control my breathing which got heavier by the second.
I awoke, frightened and alone, with a monster standing beside my bed. Although my body was paralyzed with fear, my mind was awake, trying to figure out how this hideous creature could have found me. As I gazed into the hypnotizing, dark eyes of this giant, the room altered, and I found myself, once again, in the basement of my father’s house. Surrounded with medical equipment, a rush of adrenaline pulsed through my tired body, forcing it awake. The monster walked slowly through the room, dragging his long, boney finger along the table. I remembered this basement very well, as I spent a great deal of time occupying it; however, there was something different, something was missing, something had changed. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Before I could spot the difference, an odd aroma began filling the air, making it somewhat difficult to breathe. Once again I found myself spinning, falling through a dark tunnel with no sense of direction or time, I closed my eyes tightly. Whenever the spinning sensation concluded, I opened my eyes. The aroma was stronger here, forcing tears out of my eyes and my dinner back up my throat. I knew exactly where I was…
I ran as if to keep up with the nothingness that surrounded me, and an empty vacuum pulled me beneath the surface. A bloody hole, when on earth did someone put a hole here? The annoying fact that a hole without my consent, had just been dug up, distracted me from the reality that I kept falling, a really long fall. Even the adrenalin was blocked out as a result of my frustration with the ‘hole’ issue.
A heightened sense of confusion began to slowly increase with every heartbeat, and my eyes darted rapidly in attempt to analyse my surroundings. This task proved to be immensely difficult, as I had very little light at my disposition. A single candle burned slowly in the corner, dimly lighting the room, and eventually revealing the unavailability of a door, and the absence of windows. Briefly, I was comforted by the darkness; the way it enveloped me, like a jacket does on a brisk December morning. Soon, an inevitable paranoia set in, merging into my brain, and refusing to leave. Up until now, I had neglected to think about how I ended up alone, and in the confinements this room. Having easily lost track of time, I had noticed a continuum of loud noises beginning to emerge, and each frequency bouncing off the cold walls from every direction. Was I really
It should have hurt. It should have killed me. Yet I was still here. It was so intriguing. And so deadly. Maybe. With the next drop that fell, I made my decision. So once everyone was asleep, I stepped back through the seven foot thick steel door and felt the

Then back down the tunnel I crawled like a mole with an extension cord in my mouth, I plugged it all up. " Click click," I turned the dial on the old tv, "if I could just get this station tuned in" Then a few more turns and there it was. I could see in real time what was above ground. "I have a bunker," I thought, "complete with
You're probably wondering why I'm in a closet, right? And no, not the closet, even though I am in that too. Nah, I mean a janitor's closet. Well, it's actually kinda simple. The people I hang out with were talking about things that I don't really like talking about, and I just ran in here to get away and calm down.
I looked up at the black sky. I hadn't intended to be out this late. The sun had set, and the empty road ahead had no streetlights. I knew I was in for a dark journey home. I had decided that by traveling through the forest would be the quickest way home. Minutes passed, yet it seemed like hours and days. The farther I traveled into the forest, the darker it seemed to get. I was very had to even take a breath due to the stifling air. The only sound familiar to me was the quickening beat of my own heart, which felt as though it was about to come through my chest. I began to whistled to take my mind off the eerie noises I was hearing. In this kind of darkness I was in, it was hard for me to believe that I could be seeing these long finger shaped shadows that stretched out to me. I had this gut feeling as though something was following me, but I assured myself that I was the only one in the forest. At least I had hoped that I was.
Looking around I tried to find a weapon to protect me from this man. Finding nothing to help me escape, hope drained from me leaving an empty feeling in my body. My thoughts screamed in my head.
Sighs came intermittently, from different parts of the room, following the course of the footsteps. Next came my ability to feel. The coldness of the surface seeped into my bones. Slowly, I began to smell a horrid smell. The smell of something rotting.
Grounded to the kitchen When you were a teenager, did you ever dream? Did you ever dream of washing the dishes for 10 people, 24/7, day in and day out for months on end? Fellow Toastmasters, don’t worry. It’s not too late. You too can be grounded to the kitchen for the rest of your life!
I reached around me, turned in a circle, and felt nothing occupying the space. I knelt on the floor and began crawling on my hands and knees. I frantically searched for a wall, an object, anything to give me a hint as to where I was. My nerves soon overtook me as I continued on with nothing to stop the amount of panic flaming within me. I shook with fear and desperation as… AHA!
Lots of the windows were broken and the door looked like a giant big mouth. People were screaming inside that made me exceedingly anxious. We were the next group that has gone inside. My heart was beating rapidly and I started to feel uneasy. As we opened the door, I peered into the corridor.
