Face+the+Trauma

Weighing your options, you decide to face the person with you, because it seems like the safest choice. He was an ominous man with a crooked smile and didn't seem very trustworthy at all. You don’t know what to expect as he orders you to follow him, so you do what he says. Walking for what it seemed like only around three or four minutes, the man turns around to face you, and right before you had the time to say a thing, everything goes dark, as you feel a cloth like material come over your eyes.

You have an idea of what’s happening but you can’t bring yourself to believe it. Right then you feel a pressure applied to the top of your head, forcing you to duck. Now being shoved, you feel yourself land on an almost soft and comfortable surface. After tossing and turning, you come to the conclusion that you are in the backseat of a car. But where could you be going? All of a sudden, you slide forward off the seat, as the car came to a violent stop. Sitting there for a few moments, you hear men talking outside of the car. Speaking in hushed whispers, you couldn’t quite make out what they’re saying, except for a few words: “No more time”, “dead”, and “cliff”. What does that mean? What could they have in mind for you?

Your whole body starts to tremor with fear, while you think about the last time you talked to your friends and family, and how you wish you could’ve known something so terrible like this would have happened so you would’ve had the chance to said bye to them. Only a couple of seconds later, you’re forced out of the car and told to stand up. Even though you’ve been sitting in the back of the car for a while, you still feel like you have no energy left to fight with, and strangely, you hear a confusing phrase whispered into your ear. “You know too much.” As if walking the plank on a pirate ship, your feet are forced to move forward, but after about six or seven steps, you expect to feel ground underneath your left foot after you lift it, but there’s nothing. Your heart drops like you are on a roller coaster, and your hair flies above your head, as you realize you’re falling hundreds of feet into the unknown. Your body hits a surface, as you hear a large SPLASH!

Being engulfed by the salty water, you become suffocated and struggle to reach the top of the water, but you just keep sinking further and further down. You begin swimming every which way, now not knowing which way is up, and which is down due to the fact that everything is still pitch dark because you still have the blind fold. Oddly enough, you feel your whole body relax, and unlike a few seconds ago, you’re wandering peacefully through the water. Drifting in and out of consciousness, your mind is running like a broken record, saying things like “You know too much”, and “Choosing the right door was the wrong decision.”
