Sight

It was the day of my thirteenth birthday but it never felt like. The day was cloudy and there was no light in the house only the light from the candles. I was wearing a velvet gown with sprinkles and a diamond broach. I was clearly able to hear the whistling of the wind, the rustling of leaves and the thundering in the night sky. I was alone sitting in my bedroom and everyone was downstairs laughing and singing.

I heard a giggle of someone and when I turned to look back there was no one. I shifted my eyes to the corner and saw a black shadow with a spooky smile. It had hideous laughter, seemed to be withered, its features into an internal grin.

The sky became suddenly overcast with clouds and a curious stillness seemed to hold the atmosphere. The climate changed monstrous. I was utterly dread and rushed towards door as I opened it, I started to run downstairs.

The black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me and laughed in its hideous way. I slipped and rolled down the stairs and stumbled on to the ground. I lay there. I was able to see my family rushing towards me and I shut my eyes.

After a few hours when I opened my eyes I was lying in the same place with blood surrounding me but this time I felt light and warm and at the other side, I saw something and fightly shifted myself.

There was my body lying down, covered with a white embroidered cloth and people crowding me.

I glimsed at the corner and saw the same spooky smile staring at me and realized that I am the soul, roaming!
