Strange

This is my first ever short story.

Walking down the street on my way home from school, I decided to take a different way home today. I like walking it gives me time to clear my head. Weird stuff has been happening lately. Knowing I had not thought about anything else since it started, I had to think of something different. It’s just so strange.

The walk usually took me around an hour to get home but because I took a different way I was going to be late. This was usually enough time to get my head straight and take in what was happening, but today i felt I needed more time. My mum couldn't ever know what was happening, she would think I'm more of a freak than she already does. My mum and I have always had a, I wouldn't say hatred more of a strong disliking for each other. She thinks I'm such a disappointment because I could never live up to my sister.  I always wanted to do my own thing, be my own person. Passing the river I looked over the edge and wondered if it would ever happen again. The water was murky and had a foul tint of yellow, It’s not a nice place but It’s the only place I know, the only place I feel free.

So I bet you’re wondering what the hell It Is I'm talking about. I would tell you but, honestly I'm not quite sure what to make of it myself. I was just walking home along the same street I have always walked on and then all of a sudden I wasn't there any more. I was in a small dark smelly room, without a door . Then I woke up in my bed at home, the next day. Everything was ‘normal’. Strange right ? I haven't told a soul. What happened? Where was I? How did I get there? Am I the only one this has happened too, or are there others? I need to make sense of this , soon.

While talking to myself on the way home , I was stopped by a rather strange man. He was about 6ft tall and he had a black coat on, he was wearing glasses but he looked like a hobo. He stopped me and gave me a watch. Being so confused looked at the watch, when I looked up he had gone. This was getting a little much for me to take.
