The Wall Tour

Have you ever looked under your bed at night? One cold, gloomy fall night, the windows had fog on them and I could smell the hot chocolate mom was makimg downstairs. I wasn't feeling too good at dinner time so I had called it an early night. As I was drifting off to sleep, something went bump and I felt my bed shake. Silly me just thought I had fallen into a dream but it happened again. This time I was jolted from my bed. I landed in the floor. I was on my belly, my hands started to tremble as I…

Thump, thump, thumping as he walks toward you, you try to run, but you are held back, petrified, all you can do is watch as this black armored man approaches, you can hear him as his mask converts his breath into a menacing scowl, and then, he speaks, and your fear is now gone.

the Shane Night Gallery. The gallery is set up with images lining the walls, some images are near the bottom, and resting backwards- their frames resting against the walls others rest on a shelf in the same manner. There is very little in the gallery besides art. The whole gallery has an antique and rustic feel. The flawed wood in the floor and the rough texture of the wooden paneling that runs along the walls, the brick wall that separates the gallery into two separate rooms and the antique…

I woke up straight out of a nightmare. I bolted up with my mouth open in a silent scream. I felt arms wrap around me and lips on my ear. But they didn’t give me comfort. Instead I became frantic, trying to get away from the arms closing in around me. From what I thought was to come. My hand connected to the person’s face and they released me quickly and I fled, running in the woods. “Murmur,” the things yelled as it grabbed me again before I could reach the woods. “It was a dream. You are safe…

When the speaker says “you” he is indicating that there is a specific person who can “break down” his wall. Someone who loves and care about him.

I was told to go to the 200th floor of the Empire State Building; if I didn't do what the burly guy with a black fedora masking his face in my dream said, I would be severely punished. I just thought I had a bad dream! I was woken up by a chilly voice. "Where'sss the boy?" A raspy, inhuman voice hissed from the other side of the door. I was hiding behind a charcoal black leather couch at the back of the hallway in the furnished basement of a friend’s house. Yeah, yeah, Sean, you're a…
