Red Light
I awoke abruptly to the sound of a loud bang. I was alone in my new house; My husband was working overtime at the factory. I rolled out of bed and as the tip of my toes touched the ice cold floor, I felt a sudden and deep chill of sadness vibrate throughout my body. It was as if everything good and happy left my body, never to come back. I then put on my robe so I could investigate where that loud bang came from. As I left my room, the deep sadness only got deeper and deeper and deeper until I reached the top of my stairway and the atmosphere around me suddenly became light, no sadness, no happiness, nothing. That's when I saw it, A stranger standing at the bottom of the stairway. As the moonlight pierced through the window, I noticed that It was dressed completely in a pitch black suit. He wore a giant Fedora that covered his entire face. I was completely shocked, scared, and speechless. After two minutes of complete silence, I managed to come up with the words, "wh- who are you?!". The stranger began to laugh, a laugh so sinister that would make even the joker scared. It lifted its Fedora slightly to reveal an extremely wide and demonic smile. The laughs continued, I felt the chills of sadness return! I began to cry and in a last effort I screamed, " WHAT DO YOU WANT!!". The moonlight detracted and the darkness canopied the room. Then, the stranger lifted its Fedora to reveal its entire face. All I remember seeing was a deeply darkened red flash of light. I awoke abruptly to the sound of a loud bang... The doctor slammed his notebook in frustration. Apparently, I made a "disgusting" remark towards the doctors wife. I didn't care, I am only here in this asylum only to recruit my army. Soon the whole world will see RED.
