eeny ,meeny, miny, moe!

  i slapped my cheeks so hard it stung,

  recollecting my thoughts

  Still on my knees shaking. I placed my hands back on the ground , putting pressure lifting myself up,

  *BANG*

  {yah i might just hang here a while}i mocked myself. I couldn't lift myself.

  The room was silent -you could hear a pin drop yet , I somehow felt relaxed in it,the more time passed the more my breath got steadier and slowly i stopped shaking. I don't know how much time passed or how much time I passed staring into nothing , my mind went blank. My expression felt blank ,my eyes felt empty.

  Blinking once, twice ,thrice. I “woke up” from the trance. My body no longer shaked , my heart beated regularly. I was fine.

  I tried once again , placing my hands back in front of me on the floor, putting pressure to lift me up.it worked.

  Now I stood looking at the room, the same “old” room I have been staring at in the past. I don't know how much time. I finally had a chance to check myself. looking at my clothes, the same old black and white sneakers,with a little blue whale painted At the left side of the right shoe. Blue tight jeans and a black oversized sweater, underneath Was my favourite fitted white turtleneck,which you could see the collar popping out.

  Lifting my hands to my waist line and opening them, I looked down at them. I could tell a lot of time had passed and a pang went through my heart. my luggage i went up to the plane with, was nowhere near me. All I had were the clothes on myself.

  I spinned to face the door. The same “old” door.

  Black as coal ,made of wood with those… beautiful. Detailed .Engraving.

  Taking a small step forward , I let my hand touch the sun this time around. Tracing the engraved Lines. It felt smooth. Pushing lightly the door let out a *CREEK* sound.

  The door opened lightly. It opened towards the outside, little light came from the tiny crack. Pushing the door even more I could see a bit more. I stuck my eyes in the opening the door has made ,my heart beating slightly faster ,half expecting something to look right back at me. What I saw instand was an empty corridor. At least on the Left side, I saw it was empty , I couldn't see the end of it nor anything in particular. The walls were grey unlike the room not it wasn’t peeling . It had a feeling Of old , it looked like it was made of stones. The floor Was white Concrete floors , it didn't really match. The ceiling was quite high. I could barely see the lighting. It was just a small light After a small light.

  Pushing the door wider ,I now could see the corridor was a bit larger than normal , you could fit a few horses Side by side. holding the door with my left hand i stepped into the corridor peeking to the right behind the door , I saw the same corridor big , grey stones walls and those barely See little lights in the high ceiling. Directly in front of me was another door. This door looked similar to mine , black from the outside. I didn't see any carvings from here. Looking At the back of my door as well there was only black paint.

  Now standing in the middle of the corridor, I still hold my room open with my left hand{gotta have an exit plan right?}

  I move my head back and forth to right then left ,

  While i contemplate where I should go, if I should even go.{usually people pick right, right?}looking at the right side it felt… Dreadful…{Nope,Nope} perhaps left? {.....It's Basically the same…}. Ahead of me was the door.{entering A closed space doesn't sound like a good idea…} my eyebrows furrowed,

  {Well i don't have a coin to flip…we’ll do it the old fashioned way}.

  Lifting my right hand , i point towards the door-{here we go}

  “Eeny,”

  Turning my right hand to the right-

  “meeny,”

  To the the left-

  “miny,

  moe,Catch a tiger by the toe.

  If he hollers, let him go,

  Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.”

  My hand stopped at the door,the door looked bigger All of a sudden.{Hahaha, well…good luck, me}{maybe someone else is there! Stay positive}

  I finally let my left hand to let go of the door,

  Lowering my right hand, I go closer to the other door, with each Step i take a deep breath in, Reaching the door I push it open.

  Before me i saw a huge statue of a horse , i stepped into the room not a second later i heard a *THUMP*

  I spinned around immediately, the door closed Shut. I tried pushing it open , but nothing happened.

  My jaw tightened ,{i knew that would happen } my fists clenched{i bet whoever put me here is laughing at me right now.}sighing ,taking a moment ,I released my fits and twisted my neck letting out a crack.”Okey”hyping myself.

  I spinned back to the horse “Let's do this!”.

  {first scan!}This room, unlike mine , had white practically sparking walls, its floors were black and white tiles looking at the back of the door. It was splitted into squares all around it with a crown in the exact middle.Turning back to the front of the room, I looked at the huge horse statue on a round piece{like chess?,did they really kidnap me to play chess?}

  walking around the statue i saw two doors, a white one and a black one .

  {this is definitely chess right?}

  “in chess, the white start first right?” The white and the black both had horse symbols on their door. It made me raise an eyebrow{isn’t it supposed to be king if already?}

  “well if it is chess there wouldn’t be any harm in it, and if it’s not there's nothing for me to do.”shrugging i kept thinking {what is this some kind of an escape room?}while i proceeded to open the white door{after all they are first right?} The inside of the room was utter darkness , nothing in view but a timer set to 10 minutes blinking away, one that was already counting down.
