INSANITY

Chapter 1

This is the first chapter that was entered in the contest I won. This is not what you are normally used to reading from me.

But in order to understand me.

You must first become me.

You must first suffer with me.

You must first lose your mind with me.

Only then will you understand who I am.......

Chapter 1

As I stand here in horror trying to wrap my brain around what was happening. I turned to look at my sleeping children. I heard them down stairs. there had to be three, maybe four people. I could hear them rummaging through my kitchen drawers. "Were they looking for a knife?" I thought as I turned to look at the chef knife set next to my bed. I heard them whispering to each other. My chest tightened and I felt my body go rigid. My brain was frantically trying to find a way to block the door.

"The dresser!" I turn and found the strength in me to pick up our thirty two inch TV and set in on the floor quietly.

I braced myself and started to push the dresser against the door the sound made my daughter wake up. She stared at me her eyes where bewildered. I can only imagine what she thought was happening with me as I caught sight of the crazy scared look on my face reflected in her eyes. I motioned with my finger coming to my lips for her to be quiet.

I ran to the phone and dialed 911 my heart was beating so loud that I hoped the operator can hear me. A voice answered "nine-one- one what's your emergency."

I tried to slow my breathing "there is someone in my house I think its three people, I am locked in my room with my two children." The voice asked for my address then she repeated my address and said help was on the way and she would stay on the phone with me while the police arrived.

A million things sprang into my mind as I heard the voices down stairs. Oh no I think they're coming up I looked out the window. We're on the second floor, my thoughts were swirling and swirling. My daughter was 6 years old and my son 6 months, maybe my kids will break a bone, but they'll still be alive.

In that instant my eyes caught sight of the police car approaching my house. Now there was three more squad cars in front of my house, all I could do was look. I could not make out what the lady on the phone was saying. I could see two officers' head to the back of my house, guns drawn. Two more went to the side of the house. I could only assume more went to the front because at that moment I heard a knock at the door.

My daughter whispered "mom" I turned to look at her scared face and her eyes lowered to look at my hand. I looked down and noticed that I had the butcher knife in it. When did I get it? I don't know what's happening, my heart feels like it's going to pound out of my chest.

The voice on the phone says "the police would like you to come down" she said her goodbyes and hung up. I hung the phone back on the charger and moved the dresser and told my daughter to stay by her brother. I opened the door scared to see what was down stairs. I walked down the stairs and froze the moment my eyes meet my husbands and my mouth dropped open. I looked up and their stood three officers in my kitchen.

I stood still, frozen as one officer asked "is this your husband?"  My head went up and down I could not get any words out.

I turned to look at him and he had a bowl of cereal in his hand and he looked at me with a worried expression on his face. He asked "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
