There I was just watching the beautiful sunset even tho I should be rushing to get home from work at k-hub at 7:00 on a Thursday after from closing the shop on my own. I look up and see a airship just floating there in the sky as I stand still to see if it will move or just stay there. It is a dark maroon colour with a bright white writing reading QUEENSLAND, how dumb can I be I completely forgot about the state of origin. This is the last game of the season and so far it’s a tie of two Games out of three so whoever wins this next match will be the talk of the town. Boom,boom,boom,boom,boom,boom,boom, the clock strikes seven and flags, banners, fireworks and glitter covers the area from the airship floating in the dark sky covered with bright coloured twinkling little stars.
At that point all the glitter slowly fades and drops to the ground, I turn around and see a dark figure walking closer I get a strong vibe of a creepy eshay. I decide to walk head and get home quickly before mum and dad get worried. I walk ahead about 50 meters and turn back around to see if the figure is still there. I stand there creeped out too see the the person had been following me the hole time. I turn around quickly and worried. I start to run. I quickly have a glance behind me and see that they are catching up so I run so fast everything becomes a blur. I run so fast I can’t see the sings that label the streets. I happen to take a wrong turn and go down the alleyway that no one passes trough alone. I turn around and walk backwards and think to myself of how fortunate I am to have…… never mind as the the person comes around the corner well at least I thought it was human but now I realise this is no ordinary person or in fact I wasn’t even sure it was human after all what human has bright blue flames coming out of its hand this creature was hard to see as the cold alleyway was dark and silent after all it is Stanthorpe in the year of 2040 anything could happen, it could a creature on the loose that has escaped from the experimental lab in town square in the known to be rona-free area. It was just the the right time that the street light turned on and ahhh what the hell is this creature. It has one side that looks like it has been completely burned and one side that looks like a cyber ban with shiny grey and silver with square black eyes. As it gets closer and closer I realise I should be running back for my life from this creature dressed in black,black leather jacket, black shirt with bright red writing reading FILA, and a pair of black jeans I look down and see he has no feat but has cyborg feet. In that Moment I think to myself what is this creature, was he made by mistake?or to ‘seek & destroy.’ Well whatever it was or whatever it was made for I need to run and quickly and…SPLAT I run into the stone cold brick wall it felt like I have been knocked out,I look up as I am lying on the freezing cold ground and there it was the creature was standing over me with a knife patterned with skulls and red belly black snakes I payed there in terror I was frozen In fear I couldn’t move, it’s like my body has already prepared my death and made my body not capable of moving.I look behind him and there it was the thing that could pretentiously save my life. There it was as it now was clear of what it was it was a portal from another universe. Except instead of saving my life it was like a vacuum, sucking everything in its path I taking it to another dimension or internal death. I felt like a professional gymnast doing kart wheel after kart wheel after kart wheel except I could either be kart wheeling to my death or safety or a hole clan of unsuccessful experiments. GASP*, I wake up and realise it was all a dream.
I go downstairs and rub my eyes as I walk down the cream coloured stairs, You would never…mum dad I shout as there are freshly sharpened knives and cutlery everywhere, cupboard doors open, plates smashed and pots and pans everywhere. I walk carefully over the broken pieces of ceramics d into the Lounge room where everything is everywhere like a blind robber had tried to find something and walked into the wrong house. And there it was the thing everyone seems to be afraid of these days….. blood! Like a small trail so I decided to follow it curious of what what be at the end but also frightened of what be at the end. I follow this path of blood past the laundry, past the hallway,past my parents room, past my bathroom and to the spare room into the back of the room where when I screamed at the top of my voice and fall to my knees heavily using all of the emotion inside of my Bode right now pain anger eager to get revenge sadness darkness and like as if the only reason I am still alive to day haas been murdered oh wait it has. I look up again at my parents bodies lying there on the floor grousimly , my mothers neck has a knife the same of what the creature was holding in my dream. Maybe my dream wasn’t just any ordinary dream maybe it was a warning of danger that my only reason to be alive would no longer exist and now I will have to give up but sadly enough I knew this day would occur.I hardly banged my head thinking it was all I dream and in denial of what ha happened.I looked up again to see the one the that gave me an emotion I have never felt. Guilt and revenge. I look up and see the failed experiment, the creature I saw last night in wha tis to believe a dream, or maybe it was a warning or maybe that portal put me into bed in order to make me believe that it was just a dream, hallucination well whatever it was I believe it was a word of warning, I warning that everything is over like as if I’m in a Video game and is game over. I shake my head right to left over and over again like as if I’m trying to wake up out of this nightmare.I notice this knife sharp enough to easily cut through a pile of apples lined up. I know that I’m going to regret what I’m about to do, I pick up the knife like I’m fighting for my life as this dangerous creature is standing at the back corner of my spare room like a devil watching over me waiting for my death to occur. The regret of what I’m about to do is like a bag full of a ton of bricks. I
charge at the creature with the knife in my hand and slice his neck and thick dark red blood oozes out of his throat, I feel free like I’ve been released from the devil but at that moment I knew I was in trouble as the police man shouts,”i
I drop the bloody knife and put my hands in the air. He takes my hands and roughly twist my arms and places Hand cuffs around my wrist so tight it feels like zip ties cutting off my circulation. I hesitate to keep my hands still he kicks my legs and I fall to the ground with a loud THUMP!he looks at the tree grousimly murdered body’s assuming that I was the sociopath who without feeling a slight bit of guilt murdered these body’s lying on the floor with blood everywhere, and that’s all it was to him, just random people who have been murdered but to me it was more it was my family, the loving, caring, kind, generous people who are the reason I’m still alive today, still alive today. As he started to claim my arrest rights. It feels so weird say MY ARREST rights, do you seriously think I murdered my own family members,the only thing keeping me dare not only from other people in the world but also myself. I’ve been in a dark place for a while and they saved me but now I couldn’t return the favour.as my head is slammed to the floor I listen to the police man, who’s badge reads Dave,”you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the order of caught.” He goes on but I feel no emotion except guilt for the murder of my family, my loved ones. Although I did not physically murder them I could have saved them if I just were awake or listened to the warning if I weren’t so weak and stopped the creature when I had the chance then maybe my family would still be alive even if it meant I weren’t. Dave forces me up and I play along he takes me through the house where there is the broken furniture and knifes,forkes, plates smashed, glass and more all scattered throughout the house. And next thing I know I’m being forced into the back off the patty wagon that they used back in 2021, it’s like if already been put in a jail sell for a crime I didn’t technically commit but then again don’t the town of Stanthorpe doesn’t count technically as an excuse for murder. One thing led to another I was in a holding cell awaiting for a caught appointment with a judge. Rumours around the cell have started to spread that I’m the chick who went on a killing spree, soon enough I find myself trying to prove my innocence in the caught room where it seems that everyone is against me but the again I have felt like that my whole life. I try to tell my side of the story, where I had a dream where this miscreant tried killing me with the same knife was used to kill me mother and farther and how I killed the creature that stood in my spare room but somehow turned to look human when killed but yet again who would believe me. I was then ordered to 4 years I juvenile detention centre until I’m 18 and then I’ll be transferred to Launceston reception centre in Tasmania. So there I am in a old bus with all of the widows covered with bars and next thing I’m already being transferred to Launceston reception centre and then one
Thing led to another and the next thing I knew I was 74 years of age and put on hous arrest. I was putting out my bins when I saw someone running past and stopped and said hello, for once I thought that someone didn’t recognise me for the first time for ever. For the first time in forever I feel like I belon. While I was in jail I had time to think, think about how I need to focus on the positive of my my life instead of the negitive and also need to stop relying on others to help me stand up and fight for my own life not rely on others to.. THE END…… SIKEEE when all of a sudden I see someone standing there with a 12 gauge single shot shotgun and then next thing I know they start going on how I killed her daughter,Catherine, ur I think and remember that that was my mother’s words but no time to explain when I believe she thinks I’m a murderer and that was when all of a sudden it hit me………bang my ears ring and I get pounded to the ground with a bullet wound in my chest and blood oozing out of my chest but I didn’t even hesitate to hang on to the life I have I know that it’s my time so I just relax and close my eyes.
THE END
