"I am not seeing things...it really is there."
No matter how many times I kept switching on the lights, the red line remained. Static. Unmoving.
"It's not a mirage..." Because my obsession wasn't towards the red line but for the door.
Yes, a door that was a few hundred metres away from the red line.
And on the red line, written in black ink were the words "Way to Exit" and an arrow directed towards the door.
I finally found the exit to this nightmare.
But my happy thoughts couldn't last long as another hand slammed down beside me.
In the spur of the moment, I stilled and the lights switched off.
With careful consideration and a stroke of luck, I pulled away from the position. Not towards the line but back from where I had just come.
And there I stood quietly as the titan growled and at times slammed down his hand.
I waited and waited, as the steps of the monster receded until they remained nothing more than a part of my imagination.
