Jason woke up with a start. He looked around his pitch black darkened room to try and figure out what had woken him up so. Once his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, he looked over to find his window open slightly. He cocked his head to the right and thought to himself, “Did I leave that open?” He didn’t think he had so he carefully pulled back the covers and immediately felt a cold wind flow over him and started to shiver. “What the heck? Did the furnace go out?” Jason said to himself as he gingerly put his foot on the floor next to his bed. The floor was ice cold. He pulled his foot back sharply only to hit it on the footboard. “Dagnabit!” he swore as he rubbed the spot where his instep had hit.
He sat there for a few more minutes and then said to no one in particular. “Okay let’s get this over with. That window needs to be shut and I need to turn the light on.” He quickly stood up from the bed and limped his way over to the window. When he reached to shut the window he was shocked by the metal handle. He cursed under his breath. “This is not my night!” he said. He then reached for the handle again and quickly shut the stubborn window.
Once the window was shut, he turned and limped his way to the light switch. He flicked the light on and was instantly blinded. He threw his hands up to his eyes to cover them, and once again cursed under his breath. When he could see clearly, he looked around his room. “What in the world?” he said. Everywhere he looked items were thrown this way and that. Clothes were strewn all over the floor, his books were either tattered and torn or lay haphazardly showing that the binds had been broken. His eyes then came to rest on his desk, where he knew he had left his latest art piece. He couldn’t quite see the piece he had left, so he limped his way over.
There on the art piece that he had been working on for a school project where the words, “Stop or suffer the consequences!” It was signed DW. He shook his head trying to clear the cobwebs that he knew must be covering his brain from being woken up so suddenly. This had had no effect whatsoever on the wording on his art piece. For the life of him, he could not figure out what he was supposed to stop, nor who DW could be.
Okay, I am going to end this here. If you have any suggestions on a Title or have any comments you would like to give on where you think this story will go next, please leave them below I would love to read them!
Thanks! ~ Eryn
