Unknown - final chapter Drum Roll Please: Tah Dah!

Rolling downhill what a unique and spectacular event, now I know how a log feels. I roll until I hit bottom basically til I no longer am rolling. I try to stand however my legs fail me. Crashing to the hard ground once again, you know, you would think I would be used to this by now. Mwaahh, haaa, haaa. Yep definitely lost it.

I really wish it wasn’t total darkness. Stumbling around down in this _____, _______ hellhole formally known as my closet has been a real laugh, not! At least it is quiet. Who knows I believe I lost my two fuzzy drooling whatchamacallit thingamajigs. Splot! Ewww!!! I’m covered in drool. I need to learn to keep my thoughts to myself. If I can’t walk or run the next logical thing to do is crawl as fast as I can – starting now!

AARRGHHH!!! I’m surrounded by furry fuzzy feet. What did I do, fall into a den of these things. GRRRRWWWLLL!!! ______!!!!! Guess I did. I want my mommy! _______!!!! Something whistles across the air above my head. Glad I’m not that tall I might’ve lost…Time to flee but where. Whoops! Well get your big feet out of the way. Human coming thru. Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me. Sorry for stepping on your feet ah…sir…or madam. Whoa!!!! Jaws snap behind me. How do I get outta this ______, _________ nightmare!!!

Hey, what’s that up ahead. Is it really a pin prick of light?? No alternative head thatta way! Doo do doo do! CHARGE! (hey I’m allowed some little perks – if you don’t like it, too bad)

BAM!! What’s this?? Who put a wall here or some sort of invisible barrier? Not fair! That bit of light is on the other side. Ground is shaking uncontrollably. Thundering feet, yes many thundering feet coming this way. WAAHHHAHHHAAA!!!

Oohh, what’s this? I find I can climb up this wall thingy. Woo Hoo!!! Wait don’t celebrate yet just climb faster. Whoa, not as easy as it feels. Never mind just keep going. BAM DA BAM DA BAM!!! The wall thingy shakes from multiple impacts. AAARGGHH!! I almost fall but managed to keep one arm holding on. I pull myself up and start again. What’s that whistling noise. OMG!!! Something slices through the air next to me and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Ouch! _______! I think its claws got my one leg. Gotta Go!

Huff, huff, puff, puff how far do I have to climb? This is nuts! Next time I hear any type of noise coming from anywhere in the dark I either ignore it or turn on a light to chase it off. Promise to self: Never be curious again. Whoops! I almost fall over the edge. I cautiously pull myself over and start to scale back down the other side.

I hope nothing is at the bottom. Of course I see nothing but blackness and hey look there’s that little bit of light. More resounding thuds hit the other side of the wall thing. Muffled growls and snarls. Sweet music. I finally reach the bottom, tentatively place my foot to make sure there is something to stand on. It feels solid. Now I head off toward the light.

Am I on a treadmill or something? I’ve been walking for hours and it doesn’t seem to be getting any closer. I stop and touch the ground. It feels like stone or something like it. I feel around in the darkness and pick up something like a rock and toss it toward the light. I keep listening for the inevitable thump it would make. So far nothing. This cannot be good. I know for a fact I don’t have super powers it should have hit something by now.

Against my better judgment I begin to walk forward better yet I decide to crawl so if I run into anything my hands would feel it first. At least I hope so. Forget about the light just concentrate on going in one direction.

I hear something back aways sounds like a…rock…slide…Oh no! Feet don’t fail me now! Forget crawling must start running. Critters might’ve gotten through. Why me! I know I know why not you. Stupid phrase…I do have a head start but I only have two feet where I believe they have four. Hey the light is getting closer and bigger. Keep going!

I’m going to make it, yes, I’m going to make it! Slip, slide, careen downhill get back on my feet nothing is going to stop me now!...Noooooooo!!!!!!!

Silence….nothingness….total darkness….

One long drawn out howl….aarrooooooo….

Stillness…silence…total darkness…

BAM!!...dim light…silent again….

Fear…unease…something stirs….

More silence…more fear….more light…

Blurry light…aches and pain…some fear…

Eyes are wide open, looking all around while the remnants of fear slowly dissipate. Closet door is firmly shut. Is that what I heard? Was this all a nightmare? Some sick strange hallucination of my imagination. Oohhh, my body aches so much. I shouldn’t be in this much pain just from sleeping. I pull back the covers and immediately see dried blood upon my leg.

OMG!! It wasn’t a dream! Fear draws my gaze back toward my closet door. It is morning but I’m still frozen with dread for I hear beyond that door some scratching, snuffling and one more sound…a long drawn out howl…the hunt is not over…
