It's behind you, a voice whispers.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5OrCGkpDc
I whip my head around, and catch the glint of metal in the moonlight, start running. I look around, trying to find the voice. It's still whispering.
It's coming to get you, Amanda. It'll tear you to shreds until no one will be able to find you. You'll be dead soon enough, soon enough...637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ3XerUn1N
Tears completely cover my vision as I dash up a flight of stairs in my house. I close the door and sit against it. Man, I probably should have taken my meds...I think. But I didn't know the schizophrenia would come back this fast!637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5lMNVmc0D
There's an explosion behind me, and I scream. There's flames everywhere, and the voice keeps chanting Useless...you'll be dead soon enough! Useless...you'll be dead soon enough...637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLfg9nIlpI
Mom comes in the attic and I back away farther. "Mom, don't come closer! You'll get burned!"637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWYxuijRvM
She doesn't listen. I keep walking away as the flames keep getting closer, and I back into a window which creaks open slightly. "Amanda, get back here!"
I look over to Mom and freeze. She's covered in burns and still on fire in places. "Come here, sweetie, you're safe."
I shake my head. "No...no! I'm going to die!" I scream.
I glance at the window again and swallow. I'm in the attic, and the window is certainly big enough...
I sit on the ledge.
"Amanda, no! Don't you dare!"
I smile, and say to the voice, "I'd like to see you taunt me now."
I send Mom an air-kiss and a tearful wave, and then lean back, letting go off the sill.
