The Despicable Woman

It was a lovely day out, the clouds as shimmery as a pearl. My friend and I were walking on the sidewalk as we always do after school, we were chatting, laughing, giggling like we always do. We always do at least one embarrassing thing at school a day, so we like to tell each other and laugh about the moments.

    If only I knew it would be the last time I saw her. 

    We bumped into this bizarre woman. She was monstrous, her teeth were super yellow, you could say as yellow as a banana. She had a massive overbite, to the point that her teeth were sticking out of her mouth even when closed. She was super tall, like she was a woman version of a slender man. She had a dress on, all ripped up with blood on it. She had this cruel shine in her eyes. She was truly haunting. 

    She slipped me a note and turned around and started walking the other way. The note said, “Follow me,” I was petrified. I couldn’t move, I was frozen. My friend looked at the note and gave me some very sage advice, “Don’t follow that woman I have a bad feeling about her,” but did I listen? That’s the real question. 

    Of course, I didn’t listen. I was a very curious person, and I did what any curious person would do.     

    “I’m going to the park bathroom, go home without me,” I told my friend. She didn’t believe me, but she nodded and kept walking. 

    I started walking towards the woman very slowly and gingerly. She knew I was following her, I swear she had eyes on the back of her head. She slowly led me to an abandoned shack, the wood old and moldy. But for some reason, I didn’t back down and I don’t know why. My mind was fully blank. 

    We went inside the shack. It was one big room fully filled with weapons like axes, knives, guns, and ropes. 

I immediately start running trying to get out. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards her. She roughly dragged me to a pole and got ropes out. She tied me to the pole, the pain was unbearable. The ropes digging into my skin. Sweat coated my body. Tears escaped my eyes. I was screaming and my vocal cords were burning like fire. 

She went to the wall and got an ax. And that’s the last I can remember. I had lost consciousness. I had died. My body was never discovered. No matter how many searches they did trying to find me, they never succeeded. 

And now I tell my story up here in heaven.
