The Children

The first time I saw It I screamed.  I automatically covered my eyes and willed them to not see.  It didn't work.  The image was already imprinted on my brain, and it wouldn't go away.

   ~Earlier that day~  

I walked into an abandoned school.  Dumb, I know.  I wandered the dark hallways, my fingertips tracing the walls.  The lights started to flicker on and off.  Weird, I think, this school has been abandoned for years.  I shake off the feeling and walk into a classroom.  I stand in the doorway thinking how many people were trapped in here when the first bomb came. 

   I walk to the teacher's desk look around the room.  Hundreds of kids, children..... Dead.  I started to hear soft -yet freaky- kid music.  It almost sounded like a lullaby.  Then I heard a soft chorus of children singing the song. I, being the dumb and adventurous person I am, decide to follow the noise.  I walk out the hall and there is this huge shadow. 

   A shadow of a man, with three little kids beside him. "What are you doing here?" The man asks.  I shiver at the deepness of his voice. 

 "I-"  

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!" He screams.

I build up confidence in my voice.  "I came here to look for something!  I don't know what it was, but something told me to come here.  So here I am."  I say. 

   There's a little bit of silence.  Then the man whispers something to the children beside him.  They walk over to me, absent minded, and grab my arms.  I struggle to get free.  

"Stay calm and we won't hurt you." They say in unison.  Hurt me? I think.  The children take the lead and the man follows close behind.  

"Where are you taking me?" I ask.  

"You'll see, child." 

    The shove me in a dark room with only a mirror.  I sit in the corner, staring off into space.  Then something happened to me. It's hard to explain, it just...I knew something happened.  Then I looked in the mirror.  My reflection.  It wasn't mine.  I wasn't even there.  I saw my body lie in the corner, lifeless.  Starved to death.  Dehydration. 

   I screamed as I saw three kids come and take my body.  I cover my eyes and willed them not to see.  It didn't work.  The image was imprinted on my brain, and it wouldn't go away.  It was stay with me forever, and somehow I knew that.  I was okay with that.  So now whenever I wander the halls of that school, I go to that room, and pretend that I can see my body lie there.  And it comforts me.
