Submitted to Contest #102

When I was a nine-year-old boy, in my town, which was a small corner on the Earth where everybody knew each other and knew every tiny secret, the children started to disappear without a trace.

Hallway of NightmaresI've had the same nightmare for two years. I'm always at that tall abandoned building that smells old and stinks like neglect. The darkness is shocking. My phone's flashlight is not much help to me; the blackness here absorbs all.I try to make my way across the corpses lying on the floor, although the stench is unbearable and covering my nose with the sleeves of my sweater is not enough.Walking the fastest I can, I try to ignore it and continue forward to the end of the hall where I must choose which path I want to go,&n...
