Sacrific Experience: A Fictional Narrative

He sat in the corner in a cold damp grim room. Fragments of a single perpetual light, escaping just as it gave gasps of its dying breaths, flickering through the concave parallels of what he assume were walls. He could hear the rhythm of his heart throbbing as if a small marching percussion was playing in his chest. His palms were clammy as he quivered in his unhinged thoughts.

    The three of us, being willed on by the attentive, watching eyes of our peers, went into the house to find a spot to sleep for the night. It was around eight o’clock, and the last glimpses of brilliant orange and pink light were beginning to fade into a star filled canvas. We first chose to explore the large, three story home, and then later choose a place to rest. I, against my will, was leading the pack because I had the flashlight. We walked towards the back of the house with the boards screeching and bending under our feet.…
