Argh!
A boy was currently groaning in a bed.Sheets and blankets covering his entire body.
His room seemed to be a mess.Clothes scattered all over the floor,shoes scattered all over the room,books on the floor.
"Carter it's almost time for you're shift."A voice called out.
The boy underneath the covers is Carter Goldvern,An eighteen year old who graduated high school a year ago.He currently works the night-shift at a convenience store.
"Is it already 8pm damn it."He groaned as he took off the covers.
At least I'm free from those dreams.I mean I can't tell what's worse my job or my weird dreams?I don't wanna go to work though.
He then gets up from his bed and starts to get his clothes together.
Looks like I better clean up when I get home tonight.
He then opens his closet door and takes out a red jacket and proceeds to throw it onto his bed.He then grabes a light-green towel from a wooden chair in the corner and opened the door of his bedroom.
"Yo."
"Yo."A voice said.
The woman had brown skin,dark brown eyes,dyed red hair,was wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt.
"You slept too long again."
"Yeah I somehow dozed off before I knew it."
"You should have woken up earlier since you like to take forever in the shower."
"I don't take that long."
"You do though."
Hmm?...do I really take long showers compared to them?I mean I can stay in there for about a couple of minutes but apparently I'm told I take about 45 minute showers sometimes longer.
He then heads straight across the room towrads the bathroom.He then closed the door and placed the toilet-seat down.Throwing his clothes on top of the seat.and placed his towel on the side of the sink.
He then turned on the water,turning the middle valve first and then turning the C valve a bit,and turning the H valve as far as it can go.
He then pushed the blue shower curtains to the side and checked the water temperature level.
Ouch!
As steam started to appear in the bathroom he then started to turn the C valve more until he got the perfect temperature.
He then strips and enters the shower.
I wonder if today will be an easy day?Furthermore what was I dreaming about again?I can't remember but why?Was it important or something?Oh yeah I forgot to ask what's for dinner.Or I guess in my case breakfast.
He then starts to get lightheaded and starts stumbling in the shower.
Woah!?
He then puts his hand to his forehead and starts shaking his head.He then notices something once he removes his hand from his forehead.There were cuts in the shape of an X on his arm.
What the hell is this?When did I get this?Was I sleepwalking or something?
Visions then start to flash before him.He could barely keep up with what was going on.
He saw tentacles,giant shark like teeth,ghost-like hands,and himself lying on the ground dead.
Huh?What the hell was that?was it some kind of dream.I've got to stop watching those horror videos.
He then tries to reach for his towel and falls to his feet.
What the?Wh…why are my legs shaking?Damn it stop it and get up!what exactly am I afraid of?
Eventually he was able to get his legs to stop shaking and he got out of the shower.
He then dried off and put his clothes on.
The hell just happened?I don't have time for this I gotta get to work.
He then grabbed his dirty clothes off of the floor and exited the bathroom.
"You ready?"
A man replied.He had black hair tied up with a rubber band,black eyes,glassess,wearing a white hoodie with dark-blue jeans.
"Yeah just about."
"You good on dinner?Wanna grab a pizza or something?"
"Nah I'll be fine."
He said as he went back to his room.
He then got dressed and ready for work with an uneasy feeling on his mind.
Something tells me that today will be an even harder day than usual.
He then exited his room with a red jacket and replied,"Ready."To his father.
"Alright let's go then."
Carter simply nodded and followed his father outside towards the car.
As the two got into the car Loyd continued to look at the night-sky.
As Carter's father begins to start start driving Loyd begins to start dowsing off again.
He then closed his eyes and when he opened them again he was now in a desert.
Visions start to pile up into his head again.
This time he saw corpses and all of them were of him.
One was of him with a dagger impaled directly where his heart should be.
Another was of him with no arms or legs.
Another was with no eyes.
Another was with all of his organs being devoured by bugs.
There were so many that Carter couldn't think or speak all he could do was try and catch his breath.
He then felt something warm.
As he was shaking he put his hand on the warm spot which was coming from his neck.
He then removed his hand from his neck and he saw blood.
His blood.
He then tried to catch his breath and there was only one thing running through his mind right now.'Am I going to die right now?'
Something then felt off for a slight second.
As he looked up he saw a black shadow lady.
She had snow white skin and her entire body was wrapped in shadows.
She was crying while muttering something, it was hard for Carter to hear what she was saying.To him it sounded like,"I'm sorry."
She kept muttering it and then she summoned a mirror to show him something.
"Ahh!"
Carter then began to scream this was because his head was now no longer on his body it was currently in the hands of this woman with tentacles coming out of it.
"Ahh!"
Carter screamed as he awoke in the car this time.
"You alright?"
Carter then checked his neck to see if his head was still on.
No it's still there.I don't feel any blood either.Seriously these dreams are feeling too real for my taste.Huh already here?
They were now parked outside of a convenience store with a sign that says:'Grab&Go!'
"Have a good day at work son."
Carter simply nodded in announce as if he didn't want to be here.
Still shaken up by his dreams he trys to remain calm and enters the stor ready for his shift.
"You're late"
A man replied.He had on an old yankees T-shirt,rugged up jeans,tall black boots.
"Sorry boss."
"As you're punishment go clean the old well will you."
Well he seems to be in that type of mood huh?Must be some family issues again.Listen you ass I'm not you're family so don't take you're family drama out on you're employes ass.
Carter then headed to the back of the store.
The store was quiet at night-time with only about five sometimes ten employes working the night-shift.
They would usually handle the truck,stocking up items,cleaning,etc.
As Carter was on his way to the back he ran into one of his employes.
He looked about the same age as Carter with blond hair,beard,blue eyes,was wearing a dragon shirt,jeans with dragon designs imprinted on them,black and gold shoes.
"Yo Carter you working today?"
"Oh hey Dragon dude I work pretty much every day."
"That's not good man you'll need a day off once in awhile."
"I wish."
"I mean it man working too much could kill you."
"Yeah,yeah I'll take you up on that offer."
Carter then headed out back towards the well that looked like it had been here for ages.
And I'm stuck cleaning this?Well figures better get started.
He then walked over to the well and peaked inside of it.
He then grabbed a bucket and rope to anchor it down to collect some water.
When he pulled the bucket back up it was full of dirty water.
Gross.Huh?The hell is?
He then put his hand to his neck.
He saw his reflection and in that reflection he saw a giant scar on his neck.
He then started to panic thinking that the vision he saw earlier in the car was real and then.
For a split second he felt something touch his back.
A hand?
Who's hand?
But before he could ask any of these questions he began to fall into the well.
His life flashed before his eyes.
Am I going to die again?This time for real this time!?
Before Carter fell he heard the voice of the one who pushed him into the well say something.
"I offer you as a sacrifice to our lord and savor."
Everything then faded away right before Carter's very own eyes.
For a moment there was nothing.
No sound.
No feeling.
Everything was pitch-black.
Only one thing was clear here this was Carter Goldvern's last day on earth.
