Voices

HORROR:

A little girl is watching t.v., in A living room along with 5 other kids. A rabbit gets shot at on the screen, as it hops around to avoid the shots and runs away. The little girl gets up and walks to the hallway and pass the front door and into the kitchen. The little girl stops at the stove as she hears A voice behind her.

Voice; “Turn the nob”.

The little girl turned the nob to the stove and the coil started to glow A bright orange. The voice spoke again.

Voice; “Get the pot”.

The little girl looked to the dish tray and noticed A pot she didn’t see before. She knew how to use A stove however she never cooked nor was she allowed to touch the stove, if she was ever given that rule yet and then the voice spoke for the third time.

Voice; “Put the pot on the stove”.

She obeyed hesitantly, as she staired in wonder and curiosity. The pot got hot and she could tell and she knew what hot was but… She heard the voice again.

Voice; “Take the pot to the living-room”.

She grabbed the pot by the handle and walked to the living-room and the first thing she saw was the bare back of one of the other kids, as they all were still sitting watching the cartoon. The girl then walked up to the shirtless kid and placed the hot pot directly on his back and left it there, as the boy screamed. She then ran into the room, where A man and A woman, laid and sat in A bed. The boy ran into the room shortly after crying, as he spoke with tears in his eyes.

Boy; “She burned my back with the pot”.

Lady; “It would be ok… Just go back and watch t.v.”.

The boy put his head down, turned and walked out of the room. If the lady saw the burn on his back, as he turned away, she gave no sign. The girl looked to the man which just stilled laid there, watching A western movie. The three of them just now sat in the bed, watching the t.v.. Later that night, they all shared the bed and the girl found it hard to sleep, as she and the others were cramped, sleeping under the one giant blanket, head to toe. She looked over at the street light which streamed in through the blinds. The image stayed in her vision for A while and then she closed her eyes and when she opened them, she appeared in the living room. She staired at A table on the other side of the room. She looked over and noticed two stacks of money with A 10.000 on each of the label’s and A little black book. She reached for the money but, one of the other kids popped up scaring her as she grabbed her arm. The other girl pulled her away from the table and the other kids started for the book. The little boy with no shirt grabbed the book and looked at her, as his face started to distort and he started ripping the pages from it. The little girl struggled to get free and to stop them from destroying the book. Then another one went for the 20,000 dollars and looked towards A lamp which A ball A fire danced on top of A 5ft pole. She threw the money into the fire and they all watched it burn, as the little girl still fought them to stop but, they over powered her and then pushed her into A dark closet and locked the door. The little girl just stood there, holding herself and afraid, until she heard something start to crawl all around her. S he looked up and saw A hole in the ceiling and little black legs started kicking in and out of it. Then A endless stream of rats came crawling out and down the walls. The little girl started to scream and then she started to kick and bang at the door that would not open. The rats started to crawl up her legs, leaving bite marks and bloody patches . They then crawled up her night gown and she thrashed around, trying to stop them but when she pulled her hands from her gown, all she saw was blood and soon later, the rats started to crawl out of her eyes. The little girl awoke looking around in fear, as she awoke to A barking dog. outside the room door, which led to the back yard. She faced the sound of the dog at the window but, she saw nothing but then, she felt A wetness between her thighs. She didn’t mind it being dark. She was use to it by now and she always maid it to the bathroom after crawling over the other kids. She walked in the dark, as she felt the liquid running down her legs and then she made it to the bathroom and turned on the lights however there was no light. She widen her eyes and then soon realized she couldn’t see. She screamed.

Girl; “MOOOOOM… Mom Mom”!!!

The woman came running towards the bathroom, as she almost slipped on something. She looked down and saw blood leading up to the little girl, as she started to smile.

MoM; “Awww… Don’t worry honey. You just have your period”.

Girl; “Ican’t see”!

The smile fell from her face and she tipped toed around the blood and grabbed her by her hand, as she waved the other across her face.

Mom; “What am I doing?... Can you see this”?

Girl; “I can’t see anything”…

The mom turned to face the room, as she shouted from the top of her lungs.

Mom; “Lawrance… get out here now”!

The next morning, the mom and Lawrence shouted at each otherand it started hours ago and all the kids sat in the living room and although they all heard, none of them understood.

Mom; “You’re leaving now? At A time like this? Your daughter just woke up blind and your going to pull another disappearing act”?

Lawrence; “I have to do what I have to do? If I don’t go to work, none of us will eat or have anywhere to live”.

Mom; “You know what?... Whatever, just go. We been arguing all night and if you can’t see the reason to stay with your kids then just go”.

He looked at her, as she looked back at him with tears in her eyes but still walked away. He looked at the blind girl in sympathy and pity, as he kissed her on her lips and walked out, without acknowledging the others. About half and hour later, the mom walks out and looks to the oldest child.

Mom; “Watchout for your sister… I’ll be back in A couple hours”.

She walked out the door and all the kids looked to the little girl, as she just sat there , with A blank stair. She heard the dog barking again but, if the others heard they gave no sign, as they asked her questions and almost saying it was her fault until all but the little girl fell asleep. She heard the barking again but, this time she blindly followed the barking and then she heard A knock at the door, followed by that voice again.

Voice; “It’s me… Can you help me walk my dog”?

Girl; “But I can’t see”.

Voice; “We can help you… He’s A seeing eye dog. Just hurry up. I have to be back in A little while or else I’ll get in trouble”.

The girl hesitated the entire time, as she slowly opened the door and walked out. She reach her hand out and she felt A hand place hers on the collar of what she assumed was A big dog, which then walked her down the stairs and out of the apartment building. They were quiet for A while not to mention the girl noticed that the dog haven’t stopped yet until they came to A two way street with cars speeding both ways. The girl started to feel more nervous, as her hands started to sweat. She let go of the collar to wipe her hand on her shirt but, when she reached back for the collar, it and the dog was gone. She heard the voice again, coming from in the street in front of her.

Voice; “We’re up here… Just keep walking”.

The girl took one scary step at A time, as the voice continued and she continued to follow. A Woman came behind her and grew fearful and worried so she walked over, as she yelled to her.

Woman; “Are you ok little girl?”

Girl; “I’m just walking my dog”.

The woman looked around to see no dog but then, she saw the cab and she ran to the girl and snatched her back.

Woman; “Are you”?...

She looked at her face and noticed her lost eyes.

Woman; “How did you get out here by yourself”?

Girl; “I was just walking my dog with my friend”.

Woman; “There’s no dog around here… Are you sure there was someone here”?

Girl; “Yea… Where did they go”?

The woman looked at her and then around one more time in confusion and then looked back at the girl with A question in her eye

Woman; “Can you see at all”?

Girl; “Who are you? Where’s my friend”?

Woman; “I would like to know the same… My name is Rena and I need you to tell me how you went blind”.

Girl; “What”!!!

Rena; “I’m A literary agent and if you can tell me how you went blind, I can make it A story and only if it’s good enough, you can win a lot of money…. So little girl, what do you say”?

Girl; “Ummmm”…

Rena; “Take my hand and I’ll take you home”.

She took her hand and they slowly walked back the way the little girl came.

The little girl did n’t answer, instead they both just walked off in silence.
