Lights Out

Ifelt a sharp prick puncture in the side of my neck, and my vision started to blur. I stood up and fell right back down while the world around me was moving in a slow blur. When my vision becomes slightly clear, I find my head in a position where I am facing Ghost. He looks at me and grunts out something. I tried to yell, but nothing came out except his name “Ghost”.

I looked up to see the devil himself towering over me, his presence exuding a sinister aura that seems to draw me in. His eyes bore into mine, waiting for me to succumb to his spell. The stars above, once a comforting sight, now seemed distant and cold. The world around me feels like it is closing in, the vast sky pressing tighter with every passing second. My vision begins to blur, and I feel myself slipping away, losing the battle against the darkness that threatens to eat me alive.

Ghost reaches out to me, his hand trembling with urgency as he pleads for me to fight through it. His voice is desperate, but I can feel the darkness already taking hold. It’s too late—the shadows envelop me, and my strength fades. My eyes grow heavier with each passing second, and despite his pleas, I can’t resist the overwhelming need to close them. I just need a moment, just a brief respite. I need to rest.

I’m trying to adjust my eyes and the bright light above me is no help. I can feel that I am laying on something cold and hard, my wrists and ankles are tied down and I can’t move. My body feels like it’s been hit by a truck and dragged for miles. My head is throbbing and my vision is still blurred.

I can hear footsteps approaching me from a close distance and I am trying to get my hands free from being bound. A voice speaks out.

“Hello, my little Sinister,” he purred, his tone dripping with false affection. “Did you miss me?”

Terror crashed through me like a tidal wave. It couldn’t be… But I knew that voice, that twisted nickname. The man who had molested and traumatized me as a child. The one I had thought I escaped when he went to prison for other crimes. I had heard about it all on the news and was sure I’d never have to worry about him again.

Marklov. My mother’s ex-boyfriend. The devil in human form himself.

He moved closer, trailing a finger along my cheek. When I caught a glimpse of it, it was the finger I had bit the tip off of when I was a little girl. I flinched and recoiled from his touch, bile rising in my throat. “Oh, don’t be like that, Little Sinister. We’re going to have so much fun together, just like old times.” His voice was a mocking sing-song.

I wanted to scream but my mouth was so dry and my throat ached. “You’re all grown up now,” he said, his voice low and menacing.
