Interloper: A Narrative Fiction

Decent Essays

Interloper I remember laying in a pool of blood seconds after a truck hit me when I was driving to my house. Cold… I never felt so cold and numb in my life as the life I had left was slowly draining away. My vision began fading, as all the colors of the beautiful world I once saw slowly faded to monochrome. Strangely, I thought I was dead, yet time seemed as it had just stopped. No… it did. Suddenly, right in front of me, a red abyss appeared and a pale white woman in white stepped out. A static-like noise became more prominent in my head, however it was feint. At distance she looked lovely at glance, then I realized something...she was faceless and transparent.

Sometimes, it feels like the life I once had simply disappeared, I can no longer tell what is real or not. I woke up looking at my alarm clock as it read three a.m in the morning inside my dark room while a cold breeze blew through my window. Usually, the suburban neighborhood I live in has several cars passing by a couple hours, yet it was dead silent.

This feeling, it is so familiar yet so cold...Perhaps I was hallucinating, after all, I only began seeing bizarre things every since my brain injury. I mean no one could be hearing a television static-like noise near them all the time when the television is not even on, right? So I went to my bathroom instead and took my prescribed pills, maybe I overdosed a bit maybe I didn’t and went back to my room. I climbed back to my bed. As I laid down, the last thing I saw was my alarm clock flashing 3:30 before she pushed her long rotting nails through my chest while her other hand was muffling my mouth. The sharp pain felt as like an eternity, each agonizing second felt like a minute and each minute felt like an hour and so forth.Why didn’t she just slit my throat instead? Why didn’t she just stab my head?! Why is she doing this to me?! What a cruel fate I have, I don’t even know if this is real or not, but for sure the pain is. My vision began to fade to red as I watched her laugh
