Snake Eyes

Placed ever so gracefully upon my hands lays one of the most important organs to assist you in living and breathing. It slowly pumps in my hands as it begs for oxygen and blood. As the rapid movement slows I feel my eyes gloss over with fog. The vessel started to crack all over. Like it were a glass vase that was slowly being chipped at by carving tools. The haze got worse as it started spilling over. I clutched the organ tightly and held it close to my chest. Wanting the hearts to link but the hole in my own chest was weeping its own blood from the open circle. I grabbed this sticky substance rubbing the pieces with the substance trying to stick the pieces together like a puzzle. As if it would fix the pain that was rising through my body. My legs were shaking as the loss of blood was getting to me. I felt my knees shake but they were getting weaker. Slipping right out from under me and the crystals started pouring down my face dramatically. As if it would fix this pain. Hurt. I hugged the heart crying out, screaming and yelling. Waiting for someone to hear me and save me from this hell. Feeling the slight tickle in my throat I coughed, tasting the blood on my tongue. Tears hitting the floor with a splatter and soaking the floor. Footsteps could be heard running behind me. And indeed fear started rising. This noise was so familiar but I couldn't recognize such a sound as my mind was clouded with the thought of escaping. I reached to the ground trying to push up my body but failing immediately. Weakness taking over as I could barely lift a finger. I held tighter, pulling my knees to my hole stricken chest. The empty feeling rising the more I feared the noise. The noise increased and the sound echoing around me and sitting in my ears. The sound is unbearable. So loud. The darkness covered every corner and the shadows became more prevalent as time progressed. I watched as my vision started going black. My eyes searching frantically for any source of light not finding this wanted presence, the panic in me started overflowing. I started crawling to find a place to hide as I could hear his breath. His heavy breath and heavy footsteps. Even the drool from his mouth hit the floor with such high volumes of sound. I hid in the corner hugging my knees praying he wouldn't see me or hear me or smell me. That he would just leave me alone. I hushed myself as tears kept swallowing my cheeks. I covered my mouth. Scared to speak as I can hear him coming closer. The shivers traveling down my back at rapid speeds. But that's when I saw his eyes. The eye contact between us was unbearable as the room went silent. I could feel him inching closer as I saw his eyes glow this dark sharp red color. I started feeling my consciousness leave as he inched closer. Now his smile, what a creepy smile. His teeth rotting from his face and pieces of flesh connecting the upper jaw to the lower, his snake like eyes never looking elsewhere. Staring down into my glass covered eyes. I started losing grip of the object as he got closer. His breath as heavy as the hunger in his eyes started rising. I feared that he would eat me. The room so quiet you could hear the drool hit the floor. His tongue hangs out one of the flesh holes. The drool slowly falling from it hitting the floor with a splatter. He never really walked, he only crawled or at least he only walked on four legs. He was long and lanky, super skinny. He was so malnourished his bones pierced his skin causing what looked like waves. He had his hands on the ground along with his feet in a quad-like position. He looked like a young child pretending to be a dog. Our eyes locked and I couldn't look away. Captivated by fear and question. My eyes grew hazy as I started losing myself to slumber. I feel tired. Numb. Limp. A tear rolling down my face as his hand grabbed my neck. The organ fell out of my hands and rolled away. His nails digging into my skin. I can't breathe. I gasp for air trying my hardest to stay alive but this creature had me right where he wanted me. He held tighter as I whimpered out. Faintly but still audible.

        "Help."
