BLOOD!!!

THE SOUND OF THE DRIPPING BLOOD! (SHORT STORY)

The best day of my life, 24th October, 2012 is a memory. I don't know if I should say a good memory or a bad one? My morning went so quick! By the time it was night, we were sitting at the table eating dinner, and so the day passed with a "warm Good night". It was four of us in the family, my mom, dad, brother and I. We were a happy nuclear family living in England. But that day... It was October 26th exactly at 7PM and I am sitting on the chair in my room, shivering with fear.

There is silence everywhere.... The door is closed in front of me and my hands, feet and mouth all tied up with a cloth. The lights flicker and suddenly I started hearing footsteps coming towards the door, the shadow under the door reflected and my breath stopped for a second... OH MY GOD! my hands and feet run cold as thoughts run through my head, "Am I next?" I was at a party in my friend's house, there were 20 of us altogether but unfortunately DEATH ARRIVED FOR ALL OF US! The shadow in front of my door went to the other room on the right hand side, and I was in great relief. There was complete silence in the whole house, not even a single sound, until "THE DRIP". That sound was horrifying, THE SOUND OF THE BLOOD DRIPPING. That sound came exactly from the room next to me, the dripping sound continued for a few seconds when I heard the loud BANG! with "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!". My eyes wide opened and tears rolled down my cheek like a river because I heard the footsteps coming towards me again. This time the hand was on the door knob and it opened..... "Was I going to be dead?" "Is this the last minute of my life?" "Is he going to hurt me badly?"

You wouldn't guess what happened after this. The guy in front of me had a knife in his hand, he was tall and muscular, although I could not notice much since the lights were flickering. He came forward with the knife step by step, I... I was dead inside with fear. I just wanted to live, I could not believe myself at the moment. Even at the age of 17 I couldn't have done much for my family, and now I was going to die. I didn't even get a chance to see my parents for once! And my brother? I love him so much, I just wish to see him once before dying. I didn't want it to end this way. I started sweating, sweat dripping off my head to the tip of my eyes and tears went off with a speed. It was a moment I'd never expect to happen. The light flickered again and I tightly closed my eye to avoid the contact with the guy and his knife since I was sure that its the end moment of my life for me.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY!" I heard as my hands and feet were relieved from the cloth tied to me. The lights went on! And my eyes wide opened when I took a glance at the guy with the knife with lots of courage and saw my long time friend, "SANJAY?? ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO?". I jumped with excitement and a huge relief of escaping death. I hugged Sanjay tightly and even slapped him for pranking me like this, on my BIRTHDAY!!!! I didn't even know that it was my birthday. Although the one thing I did know was "HOW DEATH FEELS LIKE". All of my friends wished me one by one and they even bought a huge chocolate cake for me. Sanjay was my childhood best friend but he moved away to work on his studies. We were still in contact with each other though, and I always wanted to see him in person after he left. We all went downstairs and prepared the cake for cutting, there was music playing and lots of decorations, everyone went in rooms to dress up and cheer me up to dance and all of us ordered so much food and drinks online to party and chill. "ANOTHER GREAT DAY!! WOOOHOOO" I shouted with relief shown on my face. Until..... the bell rang, and my friend shouted, "GUYS RUNN, THEY ARE HERE TO KILL US ALL!"
