There is a dark house, empty and lifeless. I'm stuck inside And there's no way out. There is a silence, scary enough to shake the mightiest. Suddenly a thunder is roaring, the rain is showing up and the water is coming in from the cracks of the wooden rooftop. A show of lightning follows and I see infront of myself a ghost, an unknown ghost.
I've frozen already and can't seem to move. But the ghost comes to me and tells me "Hey You lil one, stop it. Stop moving, stop trying to get out. I've been in your shoes once and I died trying."
I'm still scared yet words decide to leave my mouth "who are you and how did u get here"
And the ghost said "I was young. Noone knew who I was, and everyone was happy (or trying to be atleast) in their made up little world but I was too tired I needed a place to rest at, so I kept running away and before I knew it, It was dark all around me. I was lost. I tried looking for a way out but there was nothing I could find, so eventually I stopped trying and gave up. And U should do the same."
But I don't want to give up yet (or so I think) and I told him so.
The lightning stopped and the ghost disappeared and the darkness said "You did it before and you'll do it again".
