There is a room inside my place
A room that doesn’t fit time or space
I can only access this room through one door
When I do I always find my body hits the floor
What was once a door is suddenly no more
My body on the ground I hear no sound
A single tv sits in the center of the room
Static playing
A sudden feeling of impending doom!
I want to run so fast
My body however just stares right back!
Now standing it happens the same way
Lately though small things have been changing
Tonight I hear the chime of a clock
The static continues
Suddenly I am able to walk
RUN!
I scream to myself
My body however rejects this…
Instead it takes one step forward
The clock falls quiet
The static still mute
I once again hear nothing.
A moment later the static ends
I see something inside the television
It’s a woman…
She looks like myself
She doesn’t look to be in good health
Her face is cold
Her eyes like stone
Suddenly I hear myself?
I don’t want to be alone…
Blood begins to drip from the images head
I feel faint
The woman curtseys…
A smile suddenly appears upon her face
The blood continues to run
Suddenly I sway
Before I know it my vision is gone
A metallic smell…
A craving…
Soon, everything fades
I see myself leaving.
My body thrown out the door
I don’t feel myself at all
I’m falling
A black void beneath
I know I’m about to crash
However…
When I land
I’m myself again
I’m in bed
The door is no more
In the darkness
Something snorts
I’m afraid to move
Afraid I’ll die
Then a voice asks
…Why?
Slowly, I step out of bed
The floor feels of marble
Every step I feel breathing
I turn back
My bed is no more
Am I awake
Or am I still…
…NO!…
No, that can’t be!
I’m in my bed
…right?
W-W..hy?
I hear the voice again
A single light appears
A white tub sits within it
I take another step forward
I hear breathing beneath my feet
In the tub
She stares back at me
This makes no sense!
In the past I was always eventually let out
Could I still be trapped within The Rooms confines now?!
No…no way!
This is just a bad dream…
GO AWAY!
A sound somehow familiar
Yet unknown as well
That sound is crying.
A sudden laughter comes from the tub
I’m staring at myself again
I’m smiling.
The laughter is brief
My images skin begins to peel
A terror in her eyes
Followed by delight
Suddenly I’m overcome with chills!
I remember the crying
Though…
…I’m not sure why…
I feel my heart skip a beat
A sudden sorrow
Consumes me.
This seems familiar
Yet, it doesn’t make sense
That is until
She pulls her out of me
Between her legs
Skinless,
Covered in blood she holds my flesh
High above
A sudden flood of memories
Glimpses of another life
The crying is coming from the baby
She or I, I’m no longer sure…
…Stands in the tub
The blood runs endlessly
She holds the crying child out
A sick smile graces her fleshless lips
We must feed now!
Those words
I believe I’ve heard them before
I suddenly fall to my knees
My stomach is screaming!
For a second I can see a face near my hips
I blink
It’s gone again
Drip…drip…drip
That scent is there again
I can feel my skeleton LURCHING!!!!!
It…it smells so good!
So familiar
My head is faint again
Before I know it
I’m covered in blood
I awake again
Sated.
The tub is full of blood
A woman hangs in the side of the room
Her stomach & guts
Decorate the bathroom
Inside my head I hear that babies cries
A pounding is on the door
I’m naked
I’m not sure I know why?
There’s a loud bang
I snap to
I’m once again in that room…
A tv plays, static muted
My lips taste metallic…
Someone is telling me
It is time to go
They strap me in
They drag me away
Suddenly I have an audience to go with this play
They all look so upset
Some stare at me with regret
I’m now moved to a place with a view
The audience continues staring
I feel something placed upon my head
There’s the sound of a switch
Then a sudden
JOLT!
As everything goes dark
I feel safe
That is until
I awake…
There is a room inside my place…
A room that doesn’t fit time or space…
I can only access this room through one door…
…I feel like…
…I’ve been here before…
…Inside…
-The Room-
