Not Where I Was Before
The first thing I am aware of when I wake up is that I have no
recollection of this place. I have never been here before. I have no memory
of how I got here but I do have the feeling of being in danger. There is no
way to explain why I would feel this way, but I know in my heart that it is
the truth. I can feel it all the way down to my very being. A darkness clings
to the air around me.
Instead of letting the panic envelop me, I take a deep breath and
scan my surroundings. I am laid on a large bed with a dark-stained fourposter frame. The bedding is as white as fresh snow and soft to the touch.
The room is massive but only sparsely decorated. There is a dark wooden
bookshelf with what looks to be novels stacked on it haphazardly, a large
desk, and a single dark leather couch.
It’s quite a beautiful, gilded cage.
Standing from the bed I try to figure out how I will escape from the
room. If I were invited here, I would remember it so I must have been
taken. The last thing I remember is arguing with my mother. I try to
remember what the argument was about, but I simply cannot draw the
memory forth.
I inspect the sturdy wooden door when I reach it but find it locked,
which is exactly what I was expecting. Then I move over to the large, floorto-ceiling windows. They too are locked, and I can see thick iron bars on
the outside of the glass.
I grab the window frame and rattle it, trying to get the lock to pop
loose, to no avail, not that it would matter. When I finally stop trying to get
the lock to give, I stare out through the glass. I am far from any city, that
much is clear. There are nothing but trees and rolling hills as far as the eye
can see. Even if I can open the lock on the windows, I won’t be able to go
anywhere. If my guess is correct, I am more than two stories up.
Even though I swore I wouldn’t, I can feel the panic slowly creeping
up my throat. I feel it wrap around me and steal all logic from my mind.
