Untitled....and posted for my friend Bee. =]
As i walked under the bridge i thought, I'm going to see Bryan, i wonder what he's going to suprised me about. All the sudden my heart practically stopped. There was a man under the bridge, he was lying down, but still. It was almost nine on a friday and here some guy was, just lying under a bridge. I put my head up and staired straight ahead, I was going to pretend like i didn't even see him. I pulled my jacket in closer around me and pulled my hood down.
A sudden breezed blew my hood back and as i fumbled for it my eyes found the man. His eyes were closed, like he was sleeping, his hair was tangled from the breeze. I went to keep walking when I stepped back from him and accidentally stepped on his leg. I flinched as i waited for him to yell at me and say "watch where your going!" It didn't come. I opened my eyes a fraction and saw that his were still closed. I tapped his leg with my sneaker, maybe he's drunk.
As i was walking away from the bridge the moonlight hit something silver. I went to go pick it up, maybe it's a lucky penny i thought. As i got closer i realized that i was a knife, dyed red on the blade. "Ha Ha. Funny joke Bryan," I called out. I ran back to the man I looked closely at him wondering if he was in on the joke, or just and an innocent bystander.
A snake slithered over my shoe making me jump backwards and fall down. I got up and was readey to run when i noticed that my pants were wet. "I did NOT just pee. Oh. My. God." I brushed my hand along the backside of my pants, when i took my hand away it was red. Maybe i got my period, i thought, or maybe that's just wishful thinking. I kneeled on the ground to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was red liquid all over the place.
Knife, red liquid that might be blood, this isn't happening. I followed the line of blood the lead right up to the man. I shook his shoulders, "wWake up. Wake up." I said, "Where's Bryan?" As i shook him, his head fell to the side and showed a long cut from the bottom of his ear to the coller bone. I shook him harder this time, thinking about how movie make up made a lot of things look real. I don't know what compelled me to do it, but suddenly i touched the cut and moved my finger along the ridge. "This is to good to be fake," I whispered
"It is, isn't it?" said a voice from behind me.
I whirled around, startled that someone was there. I didn't even see them. "Hello," I called out hoping that what i heard was in my mind. I'd rather be crazy than dead. "Did anyone say anything?" Please don't answer, please don't answer, i chanted in my head. "I said, 'it is isn't it?' " The voice said while stepping out of the shadows that were hiding it's form. I didn't know how to respond. Here was some kid about 16 or 17 and he was hiding in the trees near some dead guy at night. " Um, hi?" I stated while my mind was screaming at me to run. "Hello," the voice purred. Finally my instincts kicked in and my legs started to work. "I-I-I" I studdered, that's what i did. I guess fear had kicked in along with the instincts.
"I'm gonna go now. I'm late for a meeting with my friend, and he doesn't like it when I' m late. He gets all cranky, and i gonna go. Bye." I said all that in about 5 seconds. I turned and started walking away when the kid came up behind me, grabbed my arm, and whispered in my ear, "see you soon." I went to turn around to push him away, but when i turned i was alone. Even the man under the bridge was gone.
Its not done.....O_o
