You can't escape from us (short Horror stories series)

[Apulu_3]

It's 3 am currently. All say that it's devil hour but for me it's the time I unleash my tears. I unleash the darkness within me when everyone is in their deepest sleep. No one can understand. Not my mom, not my dad. I tried to sucide many times too but I was always unsuccessful. Tonight I will drink Dettol (antiseptic liquid) to death.

I wrote my goodbye letter which I wrote many times but ended up tearing it. I said that I loved my family till my death. And I am not strong enough to kill my dreams only for what my parents want me to become. I have explained to them several times but they just manipulated me or many a times even beat me. I am a coward that I can't try anymore. I don't have any other options than to die.

I would rather die than live a life without passion. Goodbye world. I can't tolerate it any more. I smiled holding the bottle of death near my lips but then… My dad came. That time I knew I messed up.

He dragged me through my hair and threw me on the floor of the living room. My mom was there glaring at me like a furious lion who will eat me up anytime. She said, "Why the hell do you always try to die! Don't you care about what society will think about me and your dad if you die! You can't escape from us!". Then starts the rain of kicks and punches. I happily took it all because I love them. I love the way that they always use their power over me and they destroy me mentally and physically. After that day I got beaten up everyday.

One day they were both out for a business meeting. It was the perfect opportunity. I quickly ran to my room, locked the door, went to the restroom and locked its door. Now I quickly gulped down that poison. After a few minutes I started feeling a burning sensation in my throat. I laughed out of happiness! I was escaping them! Slowly my eyes dropped and death approached me.

I woke up in a bright white room which smelled like a hospital. Everyone was cheering for happiness. I couldn't open my eyes. After a few minutes I felt a hand with gloves start to bathe me. After that warm but uncomfortable bath I opened my eyes. I saw a man wearing a mask was handling me to another man who looked very similar for some reason. That man took me to a lady and said, "Honey she is just like our first daughter!". I shrieked with horror. The couple smirked at me and said, "You can't escape from us".

This one’s more sad and heart wrenching than creepy. Not sure if that was what you were aiming for.

Actually yes, nowadays I don't know why but I like writing sad horror stories. I hope it was enjoyable :)
