I hate working late nights...always having to leave work at closing and walk to the subways that still run…the streets of downtown New York can be scary…I often get so paranoid I have to bring a knife and some mace just for protection. I need a car… I cant be taking the subway down here all the time. I continued to walk down the street, the streets were quiet... almost unsettling to me. I suddenly began to feel an odd chill and hear noises in the distance…I looked around as I continued walking, I shrugged it off, thinking it was nothing. “Ok..” I took in a deep breath as I continued to walk down the street, I began to feel like there was definitely someone following me. I began to panic…thinking I was being stalked by some creep! I reached into my purse as I held onto my mace on top of my knife. I continued to walk but still frightened. ‘Just keep calm…just keep calm…’ was all I could think… But this was beginning to get weird…I turned around to see no body behind me! I swear I could tell someone was following me, Ive had a feeling I was being watched from the start…I just wanted to get home tonight and fast! ‘its ok..its ok….keep calm’ I began to walk a little faster, just wanting to get out of here. Maybe he left, maybe I'm just being paranoid…god I hate working down here!! I was very close to a dark alley section by a corner store and there was little to no traffic and one street light was blinking hectically. I glanced at the blinking light for a second, a black misty aura floated around it with a red glowing eye staring right at me. I shook my head and looked up again to see nothing, ‘what the fuck was that!?’ What I saw couldn't be explained...but I saw it..
I moved as quick as my body could to the corner store, banging on the door! I was going to call a cab im just not walking home anymore!! "Hello?! Anyone in there?!" I shouted, still banging on the door. "No one will help you...." I froze, that voice...it was so unnatural...so...nonhuman. I looked up to where the street light was, "Who...? What are you!?" I tried to speak, so scared...not understanding what was going on....i was shivering and studdering uncontrollably. As I looked around myself, each streetlight began to flicker off throughout the street, making the streets impossible to see through. "Please....leave me alone!!" I called out, almost beginning to cry. "You....fear..the..daaarrkk. You fear...what i have...brouuught...youuuuuu." Suddenly the strange voice began a bidder laugh, making me chill to the bone. "IF THIS IS SOME SICK JOKE!! ILL MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME JAIL TIME COMING!!!"
The voices suddenly stopped. Darkness was all around me, as I looked around me I could see nothing, as if I was not even in the same place anymore. I was unable to move, not knowing what was out there. "Where are you? I know your still out there!" I began to hear laughter from every corner, this was not the thing that was talking to me...these were all different...male voices...human but not sane. In the far distance a masked clown face began to pear out from the shadows, he was the one laughing insanely from the darkness, with a giant blood stained meat clever in his hand. What seemed to be coming from behind was a man who seemed to have been an escaped felon, chuckling as he came closer, he was covered entirely in tattoos, his face untouched and was bald. I began to panic, how could this be real?! I tried to run and run fast but i couldn't budge! As if my body had a mind of its own! I was glued to the ground! The laughter around me began to drive me insane, as the clown man stared me down as he inched closer and his head began to spin in different directions...waving his clever around violently. I screamed, and screamed harder as I cried...the escaped felon called to me "HEY" I didn't want to look at him...but it seemed i was forced to, my eyes unable to shut! "Look what I got!" laughing insanely, what i saw was myself! Trapped in his tight grip with a knife against my neck!! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs unable to believe just what I was seeing! He sliced my head clean off and held it by my dead brunette colored hair, my lifeless body fell limp to the ground and began to fade back into the darkness, the clown stood in front of me, laughing so hilariously as he seemed to be observing me. "YOUR NOT DEAD YET!!! FIRST YOU GOTTA WATCH MY SHOW!!!!" "No! I don't want to!! PLEASE!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" Suddenly his voice changed dramatically as his tone had darkened and lowered so unnaturally as its face appeared in front of mine,his mouth opening up, as it seemed to split open the rest of its face, it revealed its jagged and razor sharp teeth, as it spat up saliva and blood onto my face. "IF YOUR NOT GOING TO WATCH THEN YOU SHOULD VOLUNTEER!!! COME ON UP BITCH!!!" I found myself suddenly trapped on the ground with a pump shoved deep into my mouth and down my throat, all i could do was squirm and wiggle as I continued to gag on the large baggy tube inside me.
An audience was around me, as if i was on an actual stage. I watched wide eyed and in panic as the clown was explaining the `trick`to the audience with the tube and a pump...as he was planning to pump my body and watch me explode to pieces! I shook my entire body, squirming and panicking! The tube was to far down my mouth to spit out! I didn't want to die! Not like this!! He began to bring the pump over to me...this couldn't be the end of me!! Such a horrible death!! NO!!! NONE OF THIS IS REAL!!! YOU DON'T EXIST!!!!I shouted in thought, this was all an illusion from the start! It was that monster that started this!!! I began to close my eyes, its not real. none of it is...its just a horrible illusion...your not scared...don`t you fear...none of it is real. I began to feel a bit better as i faced the fears that have been haunting me every night on the way home from work. As i continued to say all of this to myself, the things around me began to fade...until i found myself back on the street with that one flickering light.
"Im alive? Oh my god...im..im alive!!" I hugged myself and cheered. "Don`t be so lucky!" I was pushed back by a shadowy force into the alley way, it appeared very tall as it began to expand over me. "Your a cleeeeverr....one. You were only....inchessss....from .....explodiiiiiing...." It sniffed my body up and down as if it was trying to catch my sent. And than tilted its head back, stretching its mouth out wide....sharp jagged teeth just like on the clown, the creatures eyes glowing red. It swiped at my chest, tearing my skin as it had me pinned to the wall and readied itself about to chomp down at me. It was going to eat me while i stand! Than just when the world began to fade...when it was all thought to be over...as i bled to death waiting for my end from the beast, syrins were heard closing in...the lights...flashing around the alley way...men came in with flash lights...as they aimed at me...to them...a young women was saw bleeding to death on the ground. They rushed to help me, they kept me alive just as the ambulance arrived...dare I say what i saw...no one believed me...they thought i was crazy...that it was a wild animal...the night finally faded after that.
(Now there is more to this story...but I am going to stop it here. There is another part from another character's point of view as this scene goes on.)
