Whispers

'Sssshhhhh.'

A whisper. I can hear someone whispering. Yet there's no one with me in this cold, dark, desolate room.

And then a knock from the door catches my attention. Hesitantly, I walk to it. And as I grab the knob, another whisper rings through my ears.

'Don't open it.'

A chill runs through my spine. I let go of the doorknob and run back to where I was. In a corner, hugging my knees, rocking back and forth.

'Don't let anyone inside.'

There it is again.

'You wouldn't want them to see the horrible things you've done, do you?'

SHUT UP.

The whisper laughs. Maniacally.

I hastily cover my ears with my palms, pushing harder and harder just so I don't hear anything. Then I close my eyes, forcing the tears from coming out. But I fail.

GO AWAY!

Silence.

Time passes, no idea how long. I remove my hands from my ears and slowly open my eyes. But I regret it immediately.

I see myself, with a devillish grin.

'Die.'

I scream.
