My Get Away

“Well, that’s new, how am I supposed to get out of this city now?” I say bluntly.

There’s no one here to hear me, so honestly I don’t know why I said it out loud. It’s been a few hours since the guy left and by the time he left again, another man showed up out of nowhere. They look almost identical. Except that the new man is hella shorter, maybe even shorter than me. Anyway, I have noticed that when it was just the one guy, he was never here over the night.

He waits till I’m sleeping before he leaves, I only know that much because one time I turned off the light because it was hurting my eyes, and at the time I was looking out the window trying to think of how to get out of this world and back into Heaven. And I noticed him typing on his phone, call someone, then walk away.

It was strange and I was kinda offended. It makes me think I wasn’t that important if he isn’t even paying attention to me. Which also leads me to believe that it might just be the only way I can leave this place and get to safety… Then again now there’s this newbie watching my door like a hawk. He’s literally been sitting outside RIGHT outside of my door practically breathing on it. Gross.

At night, after lights out

So, as I thought, both of them left as soon as I turned off the lights. But I better wait a few minutes before I leave to make sure I got everything I need and just in case they haven’t left yet. After I make sure I have everything, I walk outside slowly and as I close the door, I make my way to the stairs to the right of my door, the ones I usually go to.

Once I get there I find both men sitting in chairs drinking beer and talking about random things going on. Luckily they don’t see me, so I walk away backwards so that I can still see them and make sure they don’t see me escaping. When they’re out of sight I sprint my way to the other set of stairs.

For the most part I’m quiet, but I ran past something sharp and cut my arm. I let out a muffled scream in pain and immediately turned around to see if they heard me. Apparently, they did, and they’re making their way straight towards me. One glance of them running towards me and I sprint once more panicked.

“What do you people want from me? I didn’t even do anything!!” I yell, trying to seem as un-angelically innocent as possible. None of them said anything but, “Hey! Get back here! Where do you think you’re going?”

Obviously I ignore them and keep running because at this point, it’s a life or death situation. I don’t know what they plan on doing to me, knowing that they’re demons and all. Who knows they could kill me. Or worse, they know about my journey and plan on holding me hostage for the next four years. Oh geez. What do I do… How can I get away. Where’s a place to hide- I need a place to hide!
