My Gothic Story
My Gothic Story
A cold gust of wind blew, against my cheeks. There was noise, I looked up and there was drips of blood falling onto the hollow floor coming from the echoing ceiling. It was a rough night, the stars hid away behind the dull grey clouds. There was a bright full moon shining in the clear night sky. My voiceless shadow stumbled after me as I followed the footsteps of an unknown creature lurking in the dark and gloomy woods........... It all started when I was hovering outside of an old lofty Victorian hotel. I knocked "three" times waiting for someone to come and greet me and show me to a room, but nobody answered and the door opened itself; at first I thought it was the wind but the air was as till as an untouched glass of water. I went inside and searched for a room, when I found one I unpacked my things, but when I put my hairbrush down onto the bedside table was a reflection of an wrinkly old man, I looked around but there was nobody insight. I felt a chill and my hairs stood on end. The weather took a turn for the wore. I fell asleep. I was very confused and tired, so I thought that this was a nightmare, but the hotel staff told me I was asleep for days-but how could I been? I only arrived last night; so I had thought.I didn't understand what was happening. The next morning I went down to have breakfast. A man was sitting at the table staring at me as if he wanted something from me. He had rather long pointy teeth and a white plain face. He gazed at me in a very uncomfortable way. I backed away slowly but he appeared right in front of me, his wrinkly hands grabbed me strongly, not letting go...
He sat me down, tied me to a chair and put something into my mouth. He reveal his teeth and started dribbling. At first I thought it was a joke, I giggled but then he looked at me with his evil eyes. After a while he

    Thirsty I made my way towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Cranberry Pomegranate juice. Sitting around what’s left of the dining room table one of its hinges obliterated merely three table legs left as a support. A branch from the oak tree near the kitchen window kept tapping against the walls and windows as the wind blows. This branch at night when the murky moonlight blooms against the massive tree meticulously resemble an oversized man with a knife trying to break into the house. I often dreaded coming down the stairs for a cup of water or juice late at night when the lights were off. The terrified image and screeches sound on the window always send me scurrying right back to my room and ducking under the covers trembling for dear…

    It was morning, but something was not right. I felt strange like my body was not my own. I was in the same room, yet something was different. I got up looked in the mirror and was astonished at what I saw. I felt that what I was looking at could not be a mirror because the images I saw were not of me. I saw a poorly shaven man of about twenty-five staring back at me. He was thin and looked like death had barely escaped him. He was scary, although what scared me the most is thinking about what had happened to…

    At the time, I felt that this was beginning to be too much. It had to be a dream. What bothered me, though, was the fact that if it was a dream, it was the most vivid one I had ever experienced. The man claiming to be me continued his explanation,…

    It was still in its nondestroyed state. I was with my friends from night one plus my friend's mother that I mentioned earlier as well, and my own parents. I walked into the building and I saw that room with a locked door that has the light on at all times. I was told to never go inside of that room. They told me that it was not for me to go into. I was going on vacation to this house for some reason so I had to unpack my bag in a bedroom. The house was very old so I ignored any movement that I heard I put my things on the bed and I was very cold. My mom called out for me to go to the main room. I went out there and noticed that people were crucified, hanged, torn in half, and burned. The door with a mysterious light was open and the girl was standing in front of it. I was afraid not because of the bodies but because the door was open. The girl motioned for me to come to her and I was unable to resist walking to her. As I got closer she looked more disfigured and evil. Her eyes were the biggest part that I remember. They were black with light pupils. She had claws like in my earlier dreams and she had a scream that paralyzed me. She ran at me and right as she was about to hit me I saw every event that I have that I have done to help or hinder people in real life. This felt like it went on forever and then I woke up screaming and in a cold sweat. My mother was trying to wake me up for ten minutes because of my screams. I knew that something was wrong at this…

    The last thing I remember is falling asleep during a late night rerun of the Twilight Zone. So when it happened, it was especially eerie, like I had stepped into a lost episode, but Rod Serling was nowhere in sight; for moment, neither was anybody else. At 4:31 AM a merciless shove pushed me off my bed. I crawled on the floor, trying to escape the cruel, uncontrollable shaking, but it followed me. It followed me down the stairs and underneath the dining room table where my family joined me. Little did I realize that before the morning sun rose again, I would see everything differently.…

    The sound of a howl ripped through the dark night. I stopped and shuttered, ‘Probably just a coyote.’ I thought to myself. It was too dark to see, running my hand through my hair, I flick it behind my shoulders. I remembered when my brother was alive he used to say, ‘You have such long beautiful hair Rose.’ Then the crack of a twig got my attention and I looked around. I didn’t see anything. I started jogging, not knowing where I was or where I was going. I heard steps start up behind me and I started to sprint. I didn’t know what I was running from.…

    re. As humans we all enjoy connecting to things whether they be other people or stories another reason people get fascinated the humans because it crave destruction and mystery. It relates to the dark and dismal nature. Back then and now movies is not scary like it was back in the gothic literature.

    When I woke up, I was in a different room. Wow! This room was beautiful! The walls were made of an elaborate satin wall paper. My dressers were made of what looked like to be the weirdest shade of wood and the tops made of a teal blue granite color. My bed was different to. The sheets felt amazingly soft and seemed to be satin. Weird. My pillow also was just as fluffy as I wanted it to be! This was all very strange! Why was this happening? What were my parents doing? So many unanswered questions. No answers. I decided to get up cause I knew I wouldn’t sleep.…

    The distant memories of the summer haze drowned me until I could feel no more happiness or pain. What shards of memories I possessed I pieced together hoping I could console the depth of my despair. Suddenly a crimson fog grasped me hoping to never let go, the strength was within me to escape however... I didn't dare. Streaks of light pierced through the ominous blanket of fog. Sounds lurked in the shadows that I was beheld upon making my heart hold for what felt like eternity. Tap... Tap! Footsteps... The sound haunted all, no exception of me! All the while my brain soliciting my heart to halt, to not feel the fright that I was pressured to be under, not to feel my soul drop into an old chasm.…
