Possession

Alice woke up in a pitch black room. She panicked at the lack of sight, she couldn’t even see her own hands. The last thing she could remember was reading the weird looking book the quirky librarian recommended. She had recently gotten into reading things that had darker plots. 

She blinked and suddenly, two bright lights appeared way above her head, she backed up to take a look. 

She could see what looked like her room and her body was walking out the door. Confused and panicking, Alice screamed for her mom.

She didn’t expect a voice to answer. 

“This is going to be fun”

Alice looked around. 

“Who are you? What is going on?”

The voice didn’t respond. 

Alice watched herself walk into her parents room and slit her father’s throat with the letter opener he gave her for Christmas, Alice eyes widened and throat felt like she ate sand but she managed to scream.

“Dad!”

Alice had to watch herself continue to kill her family. Her mom saw Alice standing over her father’s twitching body and ran into her sister’s room. She locked the door but that didn’t stop anything. Wildly Alice watched as she kicked the door in, her mom and sister sat in the corner of the room; trembling in fear. Her mom begged her for mercy.

“It’s not me mom!” Alice tried to get her mom to hear her the real her but no luck.

But the voice that responded to her mom said something completely different.

“This is just the fun I needed”

Terrified, her mom begged her to at least spare her little sister.

Alice watched herself set her mom on fire with just her hand. She screamed; she fell to her knees. 

“Please make it stop” begged Alice 

She thought this had to be some nightmare and she was going to wake up with her family alive and well. Unfortunately, for her it was all too real. Her little sister ran into the closet and shut the door. Her body walked towards the closet and bashed her hand right through, Alice felt that pain race through her right hand. 

She watched as her hand grabbed sister’s neck right through the door and snapped it. No longer could Alice take this; she was sure she had to wake herself up. However, the voice spoke to her again.

“All finished, you can have your body back?”

“Have my body back?”

Suddenly Alice blinked and could see everything normally. 

The house was silent. The smell of blood took over the house. Alice’s clothes were covered in her family’s blood. She backed away from the closet where her sister lied. She tried to wipe the blood off but the tears clouded her eyes. The neighbors must’ve heard the noise because she could see the red and blue lights shining through the bedroom window. She knew there was no way anybody would believe her. Instead of facing jail time she got the daring idea to end it. She walked to her parents room and to her dad’s safe, put in the code 0824 and took out his gun. She loaded one bullet in while the police were banging on the door for somebody to answer. She place the gun inside her mouth and pulled the trigger …
