friends that we were never to speak of it. Although we were never caught,
the guilt we had to endure was almost worse than being put in the
juvenile hall, for in our minds we were forever branded as murderers.
Now its ten past midnight. Im still in shock, trying to figure out
what has happened to my dad. Did this really happened or was it a
dream? The curiosity was overwhelming for me. I wanted to know whats
behind that closet door. I got up from my bed and slowly walked to the
closet. That curiosity suddenly became to fear. As I got closer to the door,
my heart started beating crazily. I opened the door as slowly as possible.
As I opened the door it made this screeching sound, like nails on a
chalkboard. When the doors were opened, I was surprised to find nothing
inside. My dad wasnt in here either. At this moment my mind went
completely blank. "I could have sworn I saw it." I mumbled to myself.
Maybe Im just hallucinating. I slowly walked back to my bed with my
mind still confused. I lay in bed and closed my eyes so that I could fall
asleep. Suddenly, I felt someone breathing on me. I opened my eyes, and
there it was, staring at me one inch from my face. It was the guy I
murdered. Im paralyzed. His dead soul was haunting me and now its
here to take my soul away.
But then all of a sudden I heard my fathers voice from afar. "Wake
up!" He said. When I woke up, I shouted, "I was all a dream." But I knew
even if it was a dream my heart is still full of fears. Because the guy I
murdered was hunting me, even when Im asleep. Something about that
scares me. What if he gets a revenge on me someday? The guilt was
strong. The fear was even stronger. Even if no one ever figures out what
has happened. I am still branded as a murderer and soon the guilt will
be the one hunting me.
