Once in an old house in the middle of the forest, once entered no one ever left, or maybe, never wanted to leave.... from the outside people have seen countless numbers of "missing" children inside it's halls. All the same age as they went missing. none of them look out the windows, because none of them wish to know that their time has halted. They all look to as if be in a rut of daily activities, trying to recreate their moments in this house of trying to find the exit, each time they get near to the exit, they fade, re-appear, and do the same over and over again.....
Once a girl, of ten, walked in. Her name was Annie, and what she saw so did I, from the outside looking in. As she walked it's halls her steps were fallowed by a dark blur, that looked just like her.... she only took four steps. before stopping, and promptly being thrown to the ground with great force. by the blackened blur..... and what I saw..... was that blur's glowing white eyes, pierce into my core.... No one else in that house looked at the windows, except for her blur.... and I cried out of fear, not sadness. Annie got back up, as if nothing had just happened, and kept walking, I trailed her with my eyes but she went where there was no windows.
The blur, had moved within that time to press it's face against the window, and it laughed, laughed manically and wrote backwards on the window, "She is mine now, and so are you." With that I crept back, but was stopped, I moved my head and the whole place went black... need I remind you, I was outside.... I saw Annie, she ran to me, I held open my arms to give her a hug but she ran right through me.... as if I wasn't there. I looked, and she kept running to the distance, the blur, now right behind me. "your friend wished for freedom in exchange for your's" this, shook me. and terrified me.

And like that, Annie was gone, the house was gone. and I, lay in the middle of a dark room lit by a single candle, hearing multiple other voices, also wondering where in the hell they were.... the answer, Hell.
