ACT I: SUCKED INTO OBLIVION

"We will not leave you, we will be together until the last beat of your heart!"

Edgar woke up into a terrifying room, dark and messy. He recollects his avid and blurry nightmare as he sees himself being beaten, hung upside down by a dilapidated rope in a very lit but gray room. He was puzzled on why it kept coming back to him in a very devilish, full of anguish and despair dream in his sleep.

With full force he managed to snap the rope and went out of the darkly stained room and headed to a very dimly lit path, broken mirrors, broken snow globes scattered everywhere. As he continuously walked in the hall and neared its end, the light starts to flicker demonically as if eating him whole by the monster that they created-the creatures that lurks in the dark. Demons started to creep out of every tiny blood-stained crack and slowly crawls toward him. Edgar fell aback for what he has seen, and the adrenaline rushed through his vein, his mind tells him to go and run away, but his foot stayed limp and static. The creature gained and stood in front of him, but he just stared, he wanted to question the creature and tell it, "Why? What do you need from me? I am no use to you." But nothing came out of his mouth except for a very cold breath. "We made you what you are, now we live and lurks in the darkest part of your soul." the dark, blood-stained creature hissed, "Everything you think bad, for every disappointment you make; we eat, and we feast. We are, what you are..." With a cloud of smoke, the creature turned as it slowly disappeared and became a very porous dust that covered the hall. Still in shock the boy sat still in the moldy wooden floor. With his very shaky legs he slowly stood up and began to walk with his eyes open wide eye drenched with bloody tears and saw a very distant light as if the end of the hall marking the exit. He began walking in a fast pace, grabbing the wall when suddenly the floor crumbled and soon Edgar started to fall in very deep pit where he only hears himself screaming in fear and despair together with the hiss of thousands of snakes that lives in the hole.

"Thug!", the floor echoes softly in the room as he realizes he was dreaming and have fallen into the floor from his bed. He opens his eyes and heard the disturbing tick of the grandfather clock that began producing loud cheerful noises of melody signaling its 2 o'clock in the morning. He stood up and shook his head violently to clear his vision when suddenly the door slowly creaked open letting in a very cool breeze that comes from the hallway windows. Edgar got out from the room and slowly sprint as he saw the same hall in his dream with more blood dripping from the ceiling, more disturbing screams and roaches flying making a circle in his head. Opening the first door that he saw, he entered and immediately closed it with a loud bang, the creatures were kept outside but have continued banging the door furiously for minutes and then they suddenly stopped. There was an ear-piercing silence in the room. He searched for the switch and turned on a flickering light that dimly lit the whole room. Slowly catching his breath while massaging his tired foot, he started examining the room and found out that it's their house's kitchen covered with molds, blood, and scattered pans and knives on the floor. As he approached the dining table he was confused for it was neat and tidy as if it was untouched, he sat on one of the elegant chairs sparkling in the dark when suddenly he heard faint voices that kept repeating "We are, what you are", "You cannot run from us", "We lurk in the darkest part of your soul", "We will never leave you, WE WILL STAY!!!!".
