I woke up to the blinding sunlight streaming into the room. My head was pounding, and my heart was racing as I remembered the snake.
I looked around, trying to get my bearings. Where was I? It was a bedroom, and it was messy. Clothes were strewn about, and the bed was unmade. I tried to remember what had happened to me. I remembered his hands, how they had saved me and brought me here.
I got up from the bed, wincing at the pain in my head. I saw a bottle of water on the office desk and hurried over to it. I scanned the room as I drank, trying to figure out where I was. Who's house was this? I noticed a picture frame on the desk with a family photo, but I didn't recognize any of the faces.
I walked into the living room, and silence fell. No one was there. I looked around, feeling uneasy. The furniture was old and worn, and the walls were bare. I saw two windows and walked over to them, hoping to get a better look at my surroundings. But they wouldn't open. The door was locked, and I couldn't get it open either.
"Fuck!" I yelled, feeling trapped. I checked the house, but it was just a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen connected to the living room. This was insane. Where was everyone? Why had I been brought here? I felt a wave of panic wash over me, and I sank down onto the couch. What was going on?
I tried to calm myself down, taking deep breaths. I wondered if I could find a phone, but I didn't see one anywhere. I thought about leaving, but I didn't know where I was. I couldn't remember how I had gotten here or what had happened to me.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, feeling my stomach grumble. I smiled to myself, seeing the food inside. I grabbed the eggs and some vegetables and decided to make myself a breakfast. I felt the warmth of the stove as I cooked, feeling a sense of comfort in the familiar routine.
After I finished cooking, I sat down at the table, admiring my handiwork. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the vegetables were still crisp. I took a bite, savoring the flavor. It was delicious.
As I ate, I looked around the room, taking in my surroundings. But the tattooed guy was nowhere to be found. I felt a pang of loneliness, realizing that I was all alone in this strange place.
I finished my breakfast and decided to explore the house. I walked through the living room and into the hallway, looking for any clues about where I was. I saw a door at the end of the hallway and walked towards it, feeling a sense of curiosity.
I opened the door and saw a room filled with books. The walls were lined with shelves, and there was a cozy armchair in the corner. I walked over to the shelves, admiring the titles. There were books on history, science, and philosophy. I felt a sense of wonder, realizing that whoever lived here was well-read and intelligent.
I noticed a big black door at the end of the room, but unfortunately it was locked.
I sat down in the armchair, feeling the softness of the cushions. I picked up a book and started to read, feeling the words transport me to another world. I lost track of time, feeling a sense of peace wash over me.
But eventually, I put the book down and got up, feeling restless. I wondered where the tattooed guy was. I walked back to the kitchen, hoping to find some answers.
I had been waiting for the tattooed guy to come back, but he never showed up. I was feeling more and more scared with each passing moment. I needed answers to my questions. Why was I here? What did he want from me?
I walked into the kitchen, I decided to make myself dinner, hoping that it would calm my nerves. As I cooked, I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. The silence in the house was deafening, and it was starting to get to me.
After I finished cooking, I sat down at the table and ate alone, feeling more isolated than ever. The food tasted bland, and I had no appetite. I just wanted to get out of this place.
I decided to go to the bedroom, hoping that I could find some peace there. I lay down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my racing thoughts.
But the silence in the house was still too much to bear. I felt like I was suffocating. I got up and walked around the room, looking for anything to distract myself. But there was nothing.
I lay back down on the bed, feeling the tears well up in my eyes. I was scared and alone, and I had no idea what was going to happen to me.
Eventually, exhaustion took over, and I fell asleep like a baby. But even in my dreams, I was haunted by the silence of the house and the fear of the unknown.
