Vortex a short story

Epilogue

Now I know this is going to be confusing, so I’ll keep it simple. My name is Alex Daniel Grey. My friends call me Daniel. Oh, and an important fact, I live in Alaska.

My best friends are Amanda Braves, Violet Rose Orthese, George Rapsky, and Luke Hayes whom we nicknamed Gumwrappers, for which he had a knack of leaving as calling cards, it was quite annoying.

We go to Vapter High, Home of the Wolves. Bullies are frequent here, especially Carter Hayes and his thugs. Carter is Lukes big brother, he brags that he is a month older than Luke. He always demands money or pain.

Day after day I look in the mirror, same look, Jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, unkempt blond hair, and startling Teal Eyes. Then I walk to school, but today was very different.

2:00 AM

Feeling cold I awoke to find it lightly snowing with a “Welcome to Siberia” sign to my right. Looking around in the harsh light I shivered, then I put the covers over my head and slowly forced my body to go to sleep.

6:00 AM

When I awoke I realized I was back in my bedroom. I took a shower and got ready for school. I wondered about my night. When I told my mom she dismissed it, I returned to my room to get my bag and found snow on the covers, it wasn’t just a dream, it was real.

As I walked to school I thought about what had happened and then in a nanosecond, I was back at the sign, but this time there was something different, I saw a city in the distance. This really was Siberia, and I was lost.

I found myself cold and wishing I was in school I thought about the warm air and some of the more fun classes and once again I found myself somewhere else.

As I look around I noticed I was in the middle of the school entryway. The principal saw me and called me over, he had a new student with him, Guess I’m a guide.

Turns out the new student is a girl and her name is Laura Vison, our conversation went a little like this

Laura: So how long have you been here

Me: 2 months

Laura: Only 2 months? Then why did Principal Troy choose you?

Me: He says I behave better around girls

Laura: Do you?

Me: Maybe?

Laura: what is that!

I looked ahead and something black was walking down the hallway towards us, it looked like a living shadow. Then a name and diagram popped into my head, Doritium Beast, a shadow creature that eats souls.

“Run for sunlight?” I yelled. When we got into the sunlight the creature followed us, the sunlight seemed to unravel it, in seconds the writhing, screeching thing disappeared. “We should go to class,” I said.

For those of you that want more, you might want to wait for the next part, chapter one. I will publish my entire story as I write it and always in parts, at the end I will publish the revised edition whole. Please comment so I can edit/modify my works.
