Horror

I knew I had to go this way to find the destination it was too bad I did not know where it was. I was confused and delirious wondering what If I never find the destination back to my freedom. I bravely walked across what appeared to be a steep black hallway with no windows, it was so pitch black that I struggled to see my own hands. The hallway was quiet, so quiet that the only thing you could hear was your own thoughts and breathing. I needed to leave, this is my chance.

I ran so fast down the hallway that I tripped even more into the darkness, I remained on the floor accepting my defeat that this predicament would most likely be the end of me. At this point I began talking to myself, easing myself into my failure, easing myself into the doomed reality that I have to face. I began to close my eyes and was interrupted by the sounds of another person's footsteps, it was so loud and overbearing that it felt like they were right behind me, it was as if someone was walking into my ear drums, taking a long stroll into my mind. I pondered and pondered what if the person is here to rescue me from this nightmare!

Romance

I knew I had to go this way to find the destination, It was too bad I did not know where it was. I was so desperately trying to find out wether I would be on time. I quickly walked across a sleek and red velvet hallway, with big red heart stickers, placed on the walls. I was immediately shocked by how lit the hallway was, when looking up I saw a gorgeous sparkly diamond chandelier which was gazing back at me, as if it was admiring me like I was admiring it, it was so lit up and so shiny that everything in the room looked glazed and worth a million bucks.

I knew at this point that I urgently wanted to stay at this place and hoped that this was were my date was planned. I knew I needed to leave though, just in case it made me even late thinking that this could be our destination. I ran at a high yet steady speed down the hallway, trying my best not to trip over in my heels and remained at the exit of hall way.

At this point I began talking to myself, re-reading the messages that Robert had sent me, regarding the address and was quickly interrupted by the sounds of another persons footsteps, it was so loud and overbearing that it felt like they were right behind me, it was as if they were in a hurry. I pondered and tried my best to act natural just incase it was Robert, pondering what if this is the location and what if it is him? and to my surprise I turned around to see Robert who was holding beautiful roses, holding his hand out to escort me to the destination which was in this building.

A cheerful comedy

I knew I had to go this way to find the destination, It was too bad I did not know where it was, I was so eager to find out where the children had hid when playing hide and seek, it was as if they were champions at this game! I sneakily walked across the passage way in the house to see an empty hallway full of nothing but Pokemòn cards and a remote control car, it was shocking how despite their being clues of the children being there that I could not find them. I could hear them taunting me and their loud yet obnoxious laughs, I knew at this point that I had to move quick and swift, following the sounds of their goofy laughs, trying to trick me.

I ran like a ninja, moving and gliding through each rooms of the house and eventually to the end of the hall way. At this point I began talking to myself, questioning myself where would the children go? what are their favorite places and was quickly interrupted by the sounds of what appeared to be the children, It was so loud and hilarious that I acted as if I was unaware of their sounds, just to tease them. I could hear the sounds of their footsteps and their contagious giggles, it just left me thinking that these children one day are going to be Kings and Queens of the game hide and seek.
