My Story! (part two)

by Esther   Sep 12, 2006


"They aren't real, they're just a hallucination.! Abigail said out loud as though to confirm what she thought with an invisible person. Then a pink snake looked at her sadly and said, "Why couldn't you believe?"

Then a second later they all vanished. Spooked by what she saw she didn't notice that some-thing new had replaced the snakes.
A beehive was laying over the floor. But Abigail did not see, instead she chose to walk on.
"Ahh" screamed Abigail.
Poor Abigail she had just tripped over and landed on the hive. Realising what she had done she started to run, but not before she got stung. A single bee stings hurt a lot but 20 has got to cause insufferable pain. Abigail carried on running until she came to the end of the trees, where there was just a circle of tree stumps. She slid down on one and closed her eyes exhausted.
While she was sat there another voice came to her, this time it was one she recognised, Lauras.

'I saw what happened.'
'You did, good, Laura what's happening I got stung loads of times by those horrible bees back there it really hurts.'
'You didn't get stung.'
'Yes I did my skins gone all blotchy, can't you see, actually where are you?'
'No you just imagined that.'
'No I didn't, what are you talking about.'
'It's strange actually, because some-thing pretty like the snakes which were real you didn't believed, then some-thing like those imaginary bees which could hurt you you believed.'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean that none of this is real. Or at least not to you it isn't. You need to believe before you can escape.'
'But?'

Abigail suddenly realised what her friend was trying to tell her. The voices went. She realised that because she didn't believe in the snakes they had disappeared. She knew that the only reason why the beehive had been there and she tripped onto it was because she had thought up of it. So she realised that in truth that because she didn't believe in the good things they disappeared, but the bad thinks stayed because she believed in them. She opened her eyes.

"Hey Abigail look I've got something to show you!" Laura exclaimed.

Abigail looked down at the caterpillar her friend had pointed out to her.
"Nice catapillar, where did you get it from?" Abigail asked

Laura just smiled.

    Hey, you mentioned on a comment on "I dumped you for a reason, and this is it"

    The reason it is so "harshly written" is because the girl promised not to do it anymore, and i am a very sweet guy and did my best to be there for her, and she blocked me out.

    I cut myself. So i know what point of view you are coming from with your opinion. I appreciate the critisim.

    David.
