theres so manythings i’ve made up, so many things i’ve lied aboput. so many things i can never attone for. so many sins…
I tilted my head staring at the ripped sheet hung on the cracked plaster wall. through the rip of the sheet i could see the cracks along the wall. they were shaped like a twisted hand with the fingers splayed out. my eyes were wide. Josh always said i looked demonic and angelic with my huge gray eyes. Josh was trying to get the projector working. it sounded like he was trying to seduce a fridge.
“what are you doing?” i asked. he stabbed the projector with a screwdriver.

I wriggled and looked back to the sheet. the shadow of a form was smothering the girl. I shuddered as a bloody scene showed. the girl was being squeezed tightly. her eyes bled two long dark streams. her mouth gushed blood. every opening on her body was bleeding. I closed my eyes as the girl imploded in a bloody blast.
“Josh stop it!!!” i yelled. Josh’s arms left me and the lights went back to normal. Josh returned to me, he lifted me out of the chair and held my petite body close to his.
“I’m sorry…” he said, “i just wanted to warn you.”. His arms seemed to darken and his body pressed on mine from every direction….
