Hello there
Let me start off by saying that this is the first time that I have ever blogged, let alone done what I am about to do. Lately my head has been abound with different ideas and stories. Mostly inspired by shows, other stories, video games, or situations that I have encountered, the fiction that I will be posting on here is entirely of my creation. I will not use any outside source to clarify my work. I.E. The Fire starter, or Alan wake. I am purposely making these short stories, so I can build on them. I have no intention on being a writer, but if you like my stories then, please feel free to comment. any criticism is welcome, but please be kind. no derogatory remarks or slander. Constructive criticism is accepted. So without further ado, I present to you the first in what I hope to be a collection of short stories titled "The Traveler of Old Eden"
"The Traveler of Old Eden"
" Is it morning already" I said getting up from last night's binder. I had found myself crashed on the floor of my apartment after drinking too much tequila and brandy from Scottie's party. " I guess Scott drove me home last night".
I looked around at my home and saw that it was in a bit of dismay. No doubt, I had stumbled around for hours looking for something to do and messed up some furniture and "OH CRAP" I shouted. Jenna's Picture had been completely destroyed. Glass, pieces of the picture and the wooden frame were all over the floor in front of the cabinet. " she's gonna be pissed" I thought to myself. I looked around to make sure that nothing else of value, had been destroyed. But I could find nothing. I went to the bedroom to see if Jenna was still asleep or if she had woken up to work. I would be getting an earful, had she seen what I had done. But when I went into the room. all I found was a letter, that read
John,
I need you to find me. It's getting really weird outside. There's no noise, no cars on the streets, and a strange man is watching our window outside. I call the police, but all I got was some strange music and static. I don't know when you will be awake, but when you find this letter please find me. I have this feeling that something weird is about to happen. Please John. Hurry
How long was I asleep. This letter couldn't have been that old. I decided to go to the window to see what she was talking about. 7 am and everything looked fine. the street lights were on, The sun was rising in the distance, and the trees looked the same as ever. I looked around the apartment again to see if there might be some other clues as to where she might be.
An hour passed I couldn't find anything that would lead me to Jenna. I went back to the window, thinking she might be coming up the street. But when I looked out the window this time, the sun had risen, and the trees that had looked normal before, were all dead and withered. there were no cars on the road or in the parking lot. There was no sign that anyone was out there. The sun had this ominous look to it; like it was laughing at the land before it. Mocking the trees and everything.
Jenna wouldn't have gone out there by herself , she wouldn't have traveled out into that. She hated being along in the city at night without someone with her. I went to the phone to see if I could call her cell. But there was no noise. No dial tone, no static. Just nothing. I called as many people as I could, but still nothing. Cops, her parent's, friends, coworkers, even people I knew. Nothing was working.
I had to find her, and staying in my apartment wasn't going to do anything. I got my keys, a jacket and was almost out the door, when the phone finally rang. " ring ring""ring ring" . I rushed to phone thinking that might be Jenna " HELLO HELLO. Jenna is that you?" At first I didn't here anything, then a voice came over the intercom. " No this isn't Jenna, But I bet you'd like to know where she is don't you." The voice was unrecognizable and creepy. like one of those circus clowns that gives you nightmares. "If you want to know where she is, you have to do a lot of searching. Your Girlfriend is no longer in the area. Not even in the city. She's somewhere outside the designated area." " I swear if you fucking touched her" I was irate, and the voice just laughed at me. " You can't threaten me Johnny boy. Not if you want her safe". I had no choice. If I wanted to find Jenna, I would have to Listen to what the voice was saying and not make any mistakes as to upset him. Maybe this was the creepy guy she mentioned in her letter.
end part one.
I didn't realize to towards the end that it started to sound like Alan Wake. Let me just say that this has nothing to do with that game. As the story progresses, you will find out who the voice is and why Jenna has vanished. I hope to have more by tomorrow. for now I hope you all enjoy this story:).
