Nothing There
I can’t
see anything. But what’s in there, glowing in the dark?
Anne breathed heavily as
she let her eyes watch the darkness that she was facing at. She could see
nothing but pitch black, and she could also feel some heavy power pushing and
passing her cheeks and hair. Where am I? It seemed that she was inside a
place, but she didn’t have any ideas that where she was.
She slowly moved her feet. Screeeeeeeech. The floor shriecked as she
made her first step. Anne reassured herself that everything will be alright.
She kept walking. Her legs were quivering and her face looked like a clown. Bang.
A wall was blocking her step as if it were going to ridicule her, you can
never get out of here. Hahaha. Anne inhaled and slowly exhaled. Then she
continued her step. But something in front of her feet was interrupting her to
move. Anne slowly lowered her body and picked up that figure which stopped her.
It fit as she grabbed that, and it was very hard. As she were tempering with
that figure, a sudden bright white light bursted out from that figure she was
holding. Anne was surprised at that moment and quickly dropped the figure. For
a second her eyes were widened, her mouth dropped, and her eyeballs are settled
in just one way. Then, she picked up that light-coming-out figure, and lighted
in front of her. That brightened the place, and she could see the structure of
the place. It was similar to the place where she lived when she was young, that
a large red carpet was laid on the floor, and a wooden rocking chair was in the
middle of the carpet. She could also see what she was wearing, a white dress,
which had some glowing gems on it. Then suddenly she saw a big white figure
passing fast in front of her. At that moment, a sudden gooseflesh was felt, and
her hair was tightly bristled. Her body was shivering, and her legs were
especially the worse. Her legs nearly catched the balance, and also her face
was all white. Nothing could be seen from her face. Not a feeling of horror,
not a relief, not an anger, but nothing. She started to quickly move her steps again.
One, two, three…… As she counted five, she could see a
dark grey door standing in front of her, and red thin line was drawn at each
edge of the door. She could also see a dirty white cloth with a word, “Restricted” which was attached in the
middle of the door. When she moved her sight lower, round and rusty doorknob
was greeting her. She hesitated to open the door since the word “Restricted” was written, and after opening the door, she would not know
what crazy things will happen. But her left hand itself was already heading
towards the doorknob, slightly vibrating. Kreeen. The door opened. What
Anne could see, was a blue luminous sky. It was outside in the woods, and
diverse kinds of birds were twittering. She could feel the fresh air running
towards her nostril, and it also slightly interrupt her hair from staying
still.
She turned around. The door
which she has opened was firmly closed. Well, that could be because of the
wind. But something told her, No, it isn’t. I
closed the door. Anne stopped her step. No, she didn’t
stop, but she couldn’t move. The ground was not letting
her go, and didn’t gave a chance to escape. Trees were now
bending and creating a trap, and the birds which sang turned into raptors that
have sharp teeth. The fresh air was now turnning into a tornado, and it kept
running towards Anne. Anne, still confused, could do nothing but waited for
this disaster to stop. Then amazingly, this all stopped. Trees stopped bending,
raptors turned into birds, and the tornado disappeared. Anne was now able to
move. Her eyes were still wide but lips were smiling. Her face was now a bit
red than a white. She now ran towards the opposite way of the place that she
was in. She ran and ran until the place could get out of her sight. She now
grinned. Her back was wet with sweat, and her hair was all messed up. Some red
liquid came out of her face when she got hurt by branches. Her dress was almost
all torned up, and became very dirty.
She was yet still in the
woods. Brown leaves greeted her and danced in front of her. Then suddenly, she
could see the white figure in front of her. It blinked. A sudden pain
stroked her head, and made her be rigid. The white figure slowly came towards
her. It had no face, no eyes no nose no mouth. But it kept coming towards her.
It was keep saying, “Nothing, nothing, nothing……” Anne again couldn’t move her feet. As
the figure came, her whole body started to become hard, and tremble. Her eyes
lost their focus and were wondering, not able to find a way. The creature was
keep coming, but Anne couldn’t move. Now, the figure was
right in front of her. Anne carefully asked, “What are
you?” But the figure didn’t answer.
Anne again asked, “Who are you?” Then
the figure answered, “I am you, and I don’t
exist.” Anne stopped asking. This figure was saying
insanne that she is that figure, and it doesn’t exist so
she doesn’t exist. It was hard for Anne to understand that
she doesn’t exist since she can talk, move and breathe.
So, she tried to argue, “……” She couldn’t
say anything. Not even a word. Her mouth moved, but no sound came out from that
mouth. Then, she tried tomove her legs and arms. Her legs still didn’t move, and so did her legs. She also tried to breathe, but all
she could do was watching the white figure hugging her, giving its cold soul.
She felt her body slowly melting. Some parts were itchy, and some parts were
painful. She saw her body becoming an ash……
Here, in the woods, birds
are chirping peacefully, and trees are standing straight. There is nothing here
except a white dress torn with some dirt.
