An Unexplained Burst of Light

 Hey guys, this is Abi here, 

Now, this might be nothing, but driving home tonight, I had a spark of an idea for a new story, so coming home, I turned on my laptop, and just hashed out a scene on my laptop, which is what I'm about to post now. 

If I feel like it, I might continue on, and see what comes up, or I might not. 

It's completely unedited, I literally just posted whatever I was thinking at the time. I hope you enjoy it. 

~An Unexplained Burst of Light~

Stay calm. Don’t act like you know they’re following you. Remember what Mum told you. Keys in hands. Just because that instruction is given to girls trying to avoid being mauled, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to you as well. Try and find someone, (even though it’s unlikely there’s anyone around at this hour).

You’re fine. Almost home.

Okay, maybe I’m lost.

We did only move here a couple of months ago, after all.

But I told myself I was fine! And I was. Until I realised I had no idea where I was going. Is that wind? Please tell me I’m not near the cliff edge.

What am I saying? Of course I’m not! There’s no way I’m anywhere near there, because it’s miles away.

But that person is still following me.

Okay, think. And ignore increasingly sweaty palms too.

Keep walking, as if I know where I’m going, but not too fast, so I don’t trip and fall. I can find my way home. Even if my phone is dead.

Stop panicking! You will find your way home.

Try and remember what else Mum said.

She said to look for familiar surroundings and take it one step at a time. So that’s what I’ll do.

What do I remember, that’s near the house?

The abandoned cottage, and the lake next to it! Yes!

Which way was it?

Shit, I wish it wasn’t so dark!

Think, Charlie!

Oh, I wish the whole neighbourhood wasn’t covered in trees- everything looks the same.

What was that?

Oh god, the person’s gone.

That horrible wind is back.

Which way was I going? My palms are really sweaty now.

I’m tired, I want to go home, I want my bed, I want my Mum, I want safety, and I want this FUCKING PERSON TO STOP FOLLOWING ME.

And then, before I know it, a burst of unexplained light rushes out of my palms, and the mysterious figure is on the floor.

Okay, now I’m really freaking out.

Okay! That's all I have for you all today! I hope you enjoyed the post, as random as it is (I'm trying to come up with more wacky, out-of-the-ordinary ideas if you didn't know), and let me know in the comments if you're at all interested in a second installment! 

I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you all soon! 

Byeeeee!
