Penny Ravens

One afternoon I headed towards my dorm after finishing my classes for the day. Suddenly I get surrounded by the same girls who make my life a living hell here; like they were waiting for me. Two of them lock elbows on both sides of me while the third girl grabs my hair from behind as they start forcefully pulling me somewhere. “H-Hey! W-Where are you taking me!?” I say panicking as my body trembles in fear. “Us? Oh don't worry Penny. We're just going to play a little game with you.” The girl pulling my hair says before they all giggle to themselves.

They pull me towards the school's old storm cellar and push me inside. Before I can try to escape, they close the hatch and bar the handles from the outside with something. “Please don't do this! I-It's dark in here! Please!!” I say yelling in fear as I break into tears while banging on the hatch from the inside. I then hear the sound of their laughter as it slowly fades away. I instinctively reach for my pocket to grab my phone but I quickly remember that I left it at home because I forgot to charge it the night before. I slump hopelessly against the wall weeping in sorrow as I realize my grave predicament.

After a moment of despair, I carefully step further down into the storm cellar while feeling the walls with my hands. Once on a flat surface, I carefully walk into the room as my head suddenly brushes against a distinctive pull-cord switch. I pull on it as the single bulb barely illuminates the room. I look around the room as it's filled with custodial supplies. “M-Maybe if I wait until tomorrow the custodian will come to let me out.” I then sit down with my back against the wall as sadness overwhelms me again.

After a few hours of crying and wallowing in self pity, I hear the sound of the hatch opening again. I sit up slightly in reaction as I see you get pushed into the cellar by a different group of bullies with a painfully similar reaction to me when I was barred in here. As I watch you bang on the hatch hopelessly, I can't help but stare at you in awe as I know exactly how you're feeling right now. Then I see you turn around to notice me as our eyes and bodies lay motionless in curiosity. A-And for some weird reason, I can't help but giggle to myself in this fucked up situation.
