ImagineA Story by SabbyDid you know that humans have great imagination? Close your eyes, and imagine this....Humans have great imagination. Sometimes, their imaginations
come to reality, like zombies, mythical creatures, ghosts… Don’t believe me?
Close your eyes, and imagine… The night is dark and still, there are barely any stars, and
no moon is to be seen. No sounds fill the air, except for your footsteps on the
gravel. It feels so normal, yet everything feels so wrong. There’s an odd vibe
in the air, like everything in the city is dead. You shake off that thought and
continue walking, until you hear a faint groaning in the alley near you. You
turn your head slightly, stopping in your tracks. Just as you make the decision
to not investigate, a bloody arm reaches out to you. You slowly back off,
wondering what the hell was wrong with this person…until the light shows you a
monster. With a head that was half gone and blood all over it, the zombie is
muttering one word as it grabs you by
the neck. “Brains…”, it mutters, biting off your arm that was struggling. You
scream in pain, attempting to kick it in the ribs. It doesn’t work, and you
remember that zombies are dead people, and they don’t feel pain. You cry as you
accept your hopeless fate, closing your eyes as the zombie’s teeth sink into
your skin. Now you awake in a different place, where the sky is cheerful
and a lovely sun shines down upon the land. You see a town nearby, and decide
that it is best to head there. The moment you step foot into the gates, you
feel like magic is in the air. You look around and spot a celebration. And at
the center of it is a phoenix, with magnificent red feathers and a crest of
feathers on its head like a king. At that very moment, the phoenix bursts into
red-hot flames, and everyone cheers. When the flames cease, a baby phoenix
arises from the ashes. Next, you continue exploring the town, only to bump into
a scaly, large…dragon! You flinch when you see the large being, feeling scared
that it might stomp on you…or worse. Just as you are admiring the dragon’s
shiny scales, you feel yourself fading away… …And you appear in your own room. The air is tense, and the
light flickers. You are reading some dumb story about humans’ imagination. You
look at your screen, only to realize that it has turned black. “Ugh, did it
crash?” you mutter in annoyance to yourself. Suddenly, you feel a sudden need
to look behind, as though someone was there, begging for you to turn around,
begging for your attention… Did you imagine yourself turning around? Did you turn around in
reality? What did you see? Perhaps everything that you have just imagined may
come true one day, who knows? But there’s one thing that I want to know, and
that is…Have you looked behind you yet? © 2018 Sabby |
