The Face and The Wound

"Time to clean the room", Mrs Wong says and stretches whilst still on the bed.

Her room was really big, all the furniture was white. Her sheets were grey and the room was painted in black having flower motifs as the design pattern.

Mrs. Wong walks to her white closet, then squats.

She stretches her right hand into the closet.

Using her hand to search the floor, she then feels the single key and picks the key from the floor.

"Alright, let's go to the black door", Mrs. Wong says as she struggles to get up with the aid of her closet.

She picks up her coat which is resting on a nail in the wall.

It looked somewhat like a silk gown with a hoodie.

She puts it on and then walks to the black door.

Just as she is about to put her hand on the knob of the black door, she notices that the door was slightly opened.

"What, I thought I closed it after the meeting", Mrs. Wong muttered to herself in a lowly way.

She slaps her hand on her forehead and sighs.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure no one entered and nothing left the room", Mrs. Wong assures herself with her hand still on the knob and immediately feels relief.

She smiles and opens the door.

Her smile immediately disappears. She can not believe her eyes.

She starts breathing fast and her heart rate increase immediately.

Mrs. Wong takes off her slippers and walks into the room slowly and just as she is about to greet the entities in the room, she gets stabbed in her chest.

The stabber did not stop there, he took out the dagger and stabbed her again and again and again until he was sure he did justice to his art work (Mrs. Wong)

"Ma", Dave says and runs out of his room, being immediately interrupted from his conversation with his wound with Mrs. Wong shout of pain.

He gets up from the floor and runs to her room.

He searches the room but he sees no one.

He runs downstairs and searches every where but he sees no one.

He runs back upstairs and just as he is about to enter Mrs. Wong's room again, he remembers the black door.

"Maybe she knows", Dave says in a lowly voice and gets scared as he starts to wonder if that was why she screamed.

He prepares himself right outside the room for any form of questioning that could give him away.

He then inhales deeply and opens the door.

Dave sees her slippers and gets relieved.

"Ma, I'm sorry, please don't be angry ma, I actually didn't plan to, I was pressured ma, please I'm sorry...", Dave immediately starts to plead, despite not seeing her.

He keeps walking and then just close to the box in the middle, lay a pool of blood.

He moves closer to check it closely and then sees a body and a short knife with a curved blade stained with blood.

"What the hell, this is crazy, why", Dave says in shock still not realizing who it was that laid lifeless in the pool of blood.

He can not exactly recognize it, the face had been brutally damaged with the knife.

He continues to examine the body and then sees a tattoo on the arm of the body.

"Wow, it has the same tattoo as Ma", Dave says as he inspects the tattoo.

"It's almost as if it's actually...", Dave continues and then takes a pause.

He gasps as he realized.

" Maaa, no", Dave crys out as tears leave his eyes and falls down his cheeks.

"Ma, no", Dave says again and breaks down in pain.

He sits on the floor having part of the blood touch him.

"Ma, why would anyone want to hurt a person like you, who! who! who! will help me now", Dave laments and crys out.

" I've lost everything now, no parents, no siblings and now you're gone", Dave continues.

" When and how..." Dave tries to continue but is rudely interrupted.

"Oh quiet boy!, I can't listen to anymore of this you cry baby", A deep voice commands with an obvious disgust in the voice.

"What who's there, what are you, come out now" Dave says in fear and immediately picks up the stained knife by the diseased body in an attempt to defend himself.

"Silence fool, I know who murdered her", The voice responds to Dave's interrogation.

"You do", Dave says in a confused manner still not seeing the face behind the voice he heard.

"Pick up the knife and run Dave", the voice commands Dave.

Dave is even further confused.

"Run, no I can't leave her here, I have to find who..." Dave tries to explain to the voice but is interrupted.

"Shut up you silly boy, pick up the knife and run away, the one who killed this woman will be back to kill you the same way too", the voice explains .

"So", he continues and takes a pause.

"Run", he finishes.

In fear Dave picks up the dagger and runs downstairs.

Just as he is about to open the door he realized something.

He still had not see the face behind the voice.

He turns.

"I have to see the face behind the voice", Dave says to himself and runs but is interrupted by the voice and pauses right in front of the staircase.

"How is it that I live in the body of a fool", the voice said already annoyed.

Dave is confused and does not say a word.

"I am on your arm", the voice tells Dave.

Dave immediately looks at his right arm, and sees his wound which was still moving in a way that looked like it was breathing.

He then looks at his left arm, where the wound replica was and he sees a face.

He had forgotten about the face but it was still there.

It was an extension of the wound, The Living Wound.

"Who are you", Dave asks the face.

"Close your eyes Dave, I will explain soon" The wound says to him.

Dave closes his eyes and immediately falls.

who is the wound, do you think he existed as a human once before

But most importantly, how does closing his eyes solve anything???
