Vision Red

Cryptic Revelations

I was terrified and my emotions were running extremely high. I looked around to see if I could find the rest of my family. I knew they were somewhere in the house, I just didn’t know where. I had to find them but I knew they were hiding. They weren’t hiding from me. They were hiding from them. Something told me they were coming for us. We just didn’t know why. I made sure all the doors and windows were locked tight. I knew it wouldn’t stop them but for the moment it gave me a small sense of security. It was the middle of the day yet I was afraid to even look out the window. I could hear people outside screaming “why! Why! No! Please no! Stop! Help us! Somebody help us!”and then silence. Complete and total silence. My curiosity had gotten the best of me because when I looked out the window so scared and feeling helpless, I couldn't fathom what I was seeing. People I’ve known for years, people I care about being lead like sheep from their homes. Seemingly becoming transfixed, virtually hypnotized. Suddenly I could feel a presence coming towards me. Astonished, I knelt down and held my breath praying they couldn’t hear my heart pounding inside of me and the blood racing through my veins. I heard a voice from outside yell out “all clear” and I began to breath again. Not completely aware of what was transpiring around us, I knew I had to get my family together. Explain to them what I saw and and try to figure out what we were going to do next. For fear of being heard by them, I called out in a whisper to my family.
