The Realm Of The Fallen: A Short Story

Have you ever felt as though you’re soaring throughout the sky waiting to collapse on that concrete floor? You know that happiness only will last you minutes before you lose your mind; no your demons pull you back to the place you so desperately wanted to escape. Reality. In reality you were just a girl that sat in the back of the class, just the girl who was attached to the wall, just the girl nobody wanted, just the girl who drowned out her sorrows in the headphones on her ears.

You try to escape but there was nowhere to go, the door was locked, you bang and scream for help, when someone finally rushes in and everything disappears. There was no more ash falling, there were no shadows in the corners, just you in a small room with plain walls, a tiny bathroom, and a bed.
Your eyes met with the nurse’s; they looked at you with caution, as if you were a rabid animal that had been trapped in a cage so they could study how you reacted. Before you knew it you had a sedative in your arm as your thrashing began to stop. You were getting sleepy.
