Adventure Fantasy

I woke up to what looked like two doors in front of me. “What kind of sick joke is this.” I think to myself. I walk up to them and almost stumble over myself because the room is dimly lit. I hear a vague but kinda familiar voice from one door but a strange noise from the other. What am I supposed to do? I’m unsure of where I am and starting to get startled.”Mom!” I yelled. I hear my voice echo until it fades into the darkness. I start running away from both doors. I felt trapped. Like my legs weren’t taking me anywhere. I started breathing heavily as I sped up, but there was no use. I looked back and the doors were still there. In front of me. How did I end here? Why did I end up here? I don’t understand why there’s two doors here or what I’m supposed to do. I stop running and sit down. “I think I’ll wait here and see what happens” I said to myself. “Are you insane?” my mind told me. “What am I supposed to do, I’m scared, lost and hungry.” I said while grabbing my stomach. “What if something eats you?, what if you end up here forever? The voice in my head said. “Nobody would care or look for you.” it continued, “My sister would, my friend would, people care for me.” I said, trying to ignore the voice. “Look over there at the doors, why not enter one? Make yourself useful.” it said. “I don’t know what’s in either of them, I hate not knowing.” I said while curled up. “Then wouldn’t that make you want to explore then? Come on!” it, trying to convince me. “I don’t know, what if my mom comes to look for me? I should stay put.” I tried putting off the voice’s temptations. “Don't you get it!? You’re lost! Get up and find a way out.” it yelled. “Should I really?’ I asked. “Yes.” it said. “I’ll be here with you all the way.” it reassured. “Okay let’s go.” I said as I walked closer to the doors. “Wait, I heard something” I said shakely. “Oh what now?” it said annoyed. “I changed my mind, lets not.” I said backing away. “Ah but we were so close to getting home.” it said disappointed. “Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?” It asked. “ I’m not sure, do you really think it will take us back home?” I unsurely asked. “I’m sure of it, now aren’t you tired of being here?” it asked. “ Yes but no.” I said confusedly. “Let’s go!” it demandly yelled. I jumped but started walking towards the doors again. “Okay so which one?” I asked. That’s for you to decide” the voice said fadely. “Umm, I don’t think I can do that. “ I said. “ Well I guess that’s it then huh?” it said. “What? No, I need to get home!” I debated. “Then how about going through one and hoping for the best?” it said in an annoyed tone. I can’t decide. WHat do I do? I can’t just randomly choose. What if there's a huge monster on the other end of the door or a bottomless pit?! I can’t take those chances. I need to take the safe route or should I. What if the voice is right?? What if I need to be careless and randomly choose? 

No no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no on no no no no no no NO!!!

My head is spinning. I can’t hear my thoughts clearly anymore. “Ahhhhhhhh” I yelled. I jumped again but this time I was in bed. In my room. “What? A dream?” I questioned myself. I laid back down but couldn’t sleep again. Should I sleep again? Will I ever decide?
