It was the moment she realized her nightmare was the beginning.

——— ≪ °✾° ≫ ———

It was a dark, cold night, the sound of a creepy pendulum wall clock ticking back and forth. As the clock hit midnight, a chime, like high ringing sound like a bell ranged, imaged are flashing in my head I was standing at the door until I saw two coffins, my sight slowly moved forward to the coffins, the following images that I saw it was... it was my parent's faces I was shocked I tried to go away to the coffins I shouted from the bottom of my lungs until I woke up,"a dream" I said as my whole body is sweating I was breathing heavily.

Suddenly memories of my mom came to my mind of all the few things we did, but everything seemed to be vague, it was like my memories with her were mysteriously disappearing! it was likea broken picture, I tried to think harder, everything would become unclear. The more I think the more I can't remember! It felt like there was a glitch in my brain that caused all the memories to be gradually erased!

I thought of the underground room my parent always goes in secretly, then puzzled memories came to me, "put your hand in the card honey #*!%& "R3memb*r wh^t I t0ld you" "G0 tu tha b%sem$nt if y0u 3ver f3el l0ne*y" A distorted words came crashing to my head and I remember a card, but it was a puzzling memory I can't remember correctly as I think about it a more intense pain struck my head.

Images changed into a considerably darker room, I was next to the window, and an oddity given how brightly the two moons illuminated the outdoors. It mesmerized me for what I saw.

The door opened. Mother appeared in front of me, "Child, you've gr0wn up r3ally wel-" Her word was half and incomplete, like a call that was losing signal "I'm sorry I %#*&#."

"l3ve ʎ0∩"

"Remember what I told you #*^&@#" I didn't know what she means; I was confused. I tried remembering something.

"The basement"

"REMEMBER" those were the last things mother said to me.

I went up from my bed to go get some water; I opened the fridge and took the water jar and pour it into a glass, as I drink the water with one hand there was suddenly a thing that appeared in my hand it was the card in my memories, I look at it and try to analyze it; it was a white card with a faded fingerprint on the lower part of the card I put my index finger to see what happened.

I pressed my index finger on it and waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing happened "what is this" I said with a curious voice then I went into my bedroom and hid the card in the drawer under the table, as I walk out of my room I stumble upon the trash pin I picked it up and cleaned it, then tied the bag tightly and threw it away in the dumpster as I closed its lid the card mysteriously appeared again in my hand I was hooked as i threw it away "Didn't I put this in my drawer, so how" I said

I picked it up and went back to my apartment,I sat in the bed while holding the mysterious card, and tried to put each of my fingers in the fingerprint. I put the index again first, then the other, and when I was about to put my thumb close it, it glowed a little. I put my thumb completely; it pricked me in shock, something pricked my thumb and bleed; the whole fingerprint was filled with blood, then a ray of light comes out of it getting stronger and stronger; it was so bright that I was blinded until I can't see anything but pure white light.
