Zoom in, Zoom Out

Scene I >

The night was a rested well and the atmosphere was cool, a breeze, calm. You turn on your side to face the window, waiting patiently for a beam of light to slowly peak into the room and to feel the warmth on your face and –

“GET UP! GET UP! CALL MOM!! CALL MOM “

You jump out of bed in a panic, look over to the clock 5:57 am. Your eyes are foggy and your head is spinning, as you look over to your closet. You reach over to the down and swiftly turn on the light. You try to focus your eyes to your sister but you see red dots on the floor, you see various colors and dots. You take a seat on the bed and slowly look over to the closet.

“What the HELL STORME!”

“.. you needa get mom”, her voice was cold, lost and frightened.

Your heart was pounding so hard that you didn't recognized the silent sound of your surroundings. A distant whimper, crying. As you get your focus your sight, you turn your head over to you see your sister’s back faced to you and behind the closet door you see a trail, a trail of blood right to what seems to have been your brother, but half his face was covered with blood. Bloody floor. Bloody hands. Bloody face. Bloody brother. 

“Where’s the dog?”
