Phil Paleer: A Short Story

Hi I'm Phil Paleer I'm 17 years old living in Ponca, Oklahoma and I've recently been selected to join a special film school now that you know me, I can get on with my story I woke up on a very cold winter morning it's 6:30 am and the first thing I hear is my mom yelling, “Phil come down for breakfast!” I called back saying “be there in a minute” So I did the normal morning routine took a shower got changed etc. and once I finished I went down to see that mom made french toast with bacon and eggs for breakfast. So I got a plate and put the breakfast on the plate and sat at the table “so how's film school so far Phil?” mom asked me. I replied “it's pretty good but I got to go in about 10 minutes if I don't want to be late to my classes.” so …show more content…

But none of it made sense to me but I knew I should find a way out. It took a while of thinking until it came to me. There was an air vent in the corner of the room. It's small but I think I'm skinny enough to fit through the small vent. I stacked everything that was in the room which is pretty much just the bed. I started crawling in the vents going slowly so I don't make as much noise and attract any unwanted attention. “Oh crap it's a dead end” I whispered to myself. I turned around and went through the first opening I could find, and ended up landing in another cell but this time the door was unlocked. I opened the door slightly and peeked out but all of a sudden an alarm started ringing it was so loud I couldn't hear the guards coming from around the corner. BONK! I woke up with an even bigger headache and I was bleeding from my nose and had a bruise where I got hit “not again” I muttered. This time the vent was sealed up and everything was nailed to the floor. All of a sudden the door opened up and a man was walking through with a bat in his hand.

They came closer to me and once they were right in front of me I kicked one of them as hard as I could he fell to the ground. The other one started running towards me but he wasn't to smart so I was able to kick him really hard too. I tipped over my chair and reached for the knifes they dropped with my leg and grabbed both kicked them up to my hands and cut the rope. Once I got out they started getting up and ran after me until I got into a corner so I scared them with my knives and they started backing off so I ran towards the door locking it on my way out. I headed north going full speed hoping to run into an exit but all I ran into was a wall. BONK! I woke up once again with a headache “why’s this always happen to me” I was questioning myself. “How do we keep meeting like this Mr.Paleer?” Eden asked me. This time I wasn't tied down I was sitting in a pretty comfortable chair he handed me a baseball bat and told me “if you beat me you go home if I beat you, well you wouldn't want to know what happens” he grabbed his baseball bat and started charging after me. I woke up with a massive headache on a cold winter morning it's 6:30
