Hallways

Short story for a dark imagination:)

Hallways June, 20, 15

There were two hallways, one left and one right.

Since they were scared to split up they called each other that night.

“We’ll use these so we can talk one another”

“I’ll go one way and you’ll go the other, keep on talking till we end up together”.

They figured since the hallways where parallel from each other, a simple left and right and they’d be back together forever. 

As inches turned to feet and feet into yards they both figured out these hallways went far.

The screens on their phones began to grow dim, air was thin as black became grim.

“Zero percent” they read on their phones. Conversation was over. They’re off on their own.

But there was no need to worry, there were foot steps away.

Bound to be my friend is what one would say. Running to give each other a hug,

Until them both felt the strongest of tugs.

Found hanging together with a note stamped “Forever”.

It would be better to remember hallways are clever.
