The first thing I remember is waking up out of breath, my heart pounding in my chest. Sweat beads formed on my forehead as I tried to catch my breath. It took me a moment to realize I was in my bedroom, the faint light of dawn peeking through the curtains.
Shaking my head, I tried to push the unsettling dream from my mind. The image of my family at the pool, the joy turning to horror in an instant, haunted me. I needed to distract myself, so I got up and headed for the shower. As the warm water cascaded over me, I let it wash away the remnants of the dream.
Once I was dressed and ready for the day, I found myself inexplicably drawn to the front door. Without really knowing why, I slipped on my shoes and pulled my hair back into a ponytail before stepping outside. The cool morning air greeted me, and I began walking aimlessly, letting my feet lead me to wherever they desired.
Before I knew it, I found myself at a park. The sound of children playing and laughing filled the air, and I made my way to a bench and sat down. As I watched the kids on the playground, a memory from my childhood played in my mind like a movie.
I saw my mother pushing my little brother on the slide, his laughter filling the air. My father was behind me, pushing me on the swing, his deep voice booming with joy. They looked so happy, so carefree. But then, my mother turned and looked at me, her eyes filled with fear. It was as if she was silently pleading for help.
I tilted my head slightly, confusion clouding my mind. Suddenly, my younger self appeared, standing above my mother on the slide. With a smirk on her face, she dropped a rock on my mother's head, causing her to fall. I watched in horror as my younger self waved goodbye and disappeared behind the playground equipment.
Next, my brother was on the swing, the chain creaking as he swung higher and higher. My younger self was there again, pushing him with all her might. At first, it was gentle, but then it turned aggressive. My brother screamed for help, but she didn't stop. She pushed him harder and harder until he went flying off the swing.
My eyes widened in shock as the memory faded. What did it all mean? Was it just a dream, or was there something more sinister at play? The unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach lingered as I sat on the bench, lost in my thoughts. The truth behind the memories began to unravel in my mind, and I knew I had to uncover the secrets hidden within my own past.
Write me a story. Here is what I have so far.
The first thing I remember is being under something.
Something heavy.
Yet somehow soft. It was kinda comforting, but only for a split second. Until a sudden bright light is shown onto my face. Squinting my eyes I use my left hand to shield my face from the brightness of which was the sun.
“Five more minutes Minty…please,” I say mumbling softly as I try to fall asleep again, but Minty wouldn’t let me. My blanket flew off of my body and my bed tilted so that I’d fall face-first into the ground. Exhaling I sat up and leaned against the bed. I bowed my head and said my morning prayers. Smiling softly she pats the floor 3 times
“Thank you for leaving me Minty…most orphan girls would love to be left some money, but you know something is better than nothing”
Exhaling once more I slowly rose up and stretched my back cracking as I turned my body to the left. Walking towards my closet I pulled my hair into a ponytail. As i reach for my favorite red sundress suddenly my blue sundress is pushed into my view. Tilting my head I smile softly
“You got Taste Minty”
Grabbing the dress I head into the bathroom. As I place my dress onto the counter the shower turns on and I slowly strip to get in.
After my shower and I get dress I walk down my hallway and slide down my stairway railing. Landing smoothly on my feet I heard towards the kitchen. As I head to the pantry Minty slides a bowl down the counter just in time for me to pour my cereal into my bowl. Grabbing my milk I slowly pour my milk into the bowl. Grabbing a spoon I slide into a seat by a window that overviews the lake behind my house.
Smiling softly small images of my family and I crossed my mind. Little me jumped into the lake and my brother Jimmy joined me not long after. My mother was trying to fight off my father who was trying to push her into the water.
Now all four of us were in the water. Laughing and smiling together. One big happy family.
My smile grew a little has I watched younger me slowly get out of the water. She turned around and waved at me. She had a frown on her face and started shaking her head as she started screaming. Turning my attention back towards my family I couldn’t see them. Standing up I rushed to the window and placed a hand on the glass.
A hand could be seen coming out of the water. Reaching for the sky. It was my father. He was drowning. I rushed to the screendoor and tried to open the door, but it was locked. I shook the door 3 times before rushing back towards the window. My father was gone.
Very slowly my mother's body could be seen floating towards the top of the lake.
Stepping back some I touched my heart. My eyes scanned the backyard for my brother.
“Where are you” I say to myself trying to find my younger brother terrified for his life.
Finally spotting him I see him playing with my younger self. I only got a split second of relief before I saw my younger self push his head into the water. Despite him trying to fight her she holds down onto him and before she lets him slip off into the lake.
My mind goes blank
The first thing I remember is being under something.
Something heavy.
Guilt.
There will be a continuance Make sure you go into detail. Detail Is very important. Here is the prompt - A girl wakes up out of her sleep out of breath. eventually catching her breath she gets up and goes to take a shower. Once done she is about to head over to the kitchen, but instead she goes towards the door. Putting on her shoes she pulls her hair into a pony tail and goes outsides. No really knowing where it is that shes going she just walks. Until eventually she finds herself at a park. Smiling softly she heads over and sits on a bench. As she looks at the play ground she a memory from her childhood plays in her mind.Suddenly she sees her mother pushing her little brother on a slide and her father pushing her yourself down the swing. They look happy. Very happy. Then suddenly the mother turns and looks at her and waves. She looks scared. Almost as if asking for help. The girl tilts her head a little as she watches her mother. suddenly her smaller self is seen standing above her mother and drops a rock on her head causing her to fall. Smirking a little her younger-self waves goodbye and disappears behind a piece of the playground. Next thing she knew her brother was one the swing. Swing up and down...up and down. And then like magic the girls younger-self is seen right behind her brother and is pushing him. At first softly and then aggressively. She continues going until her brother screams for help. Despite his screams she continues going until suddenly her goes flying into the air.
