Where′s your Strength

A slow chill passed through my nerves, it was relaxing and exciting, sweet and scary, warm and cold.

"Was it the movie I watched? " I asked myself.
Earlier that day, I watched a frightening or let's say a horror movie. I love watching horror or action content, they are the only scenes that engage me, and the rest of the niches are undeniably boring.

It was a long Sunday and after the tussles with tiring chores and preparation for the Monday work, I had hugged a couch and disconnected from the General air channel to Digital Display, then inserted the horror CD I bough a day ago.

It was so full of fun at first when my siblings were there watching it together with me. They jumped sometimes sitting room dramatically. All these made the movie more interesting but things began to take a turn when they left the room one by one, leaving me alone in the dark. The movie seemed to become more intense, and the atmosphere in the room grew eerily quiet.

As the movie progressed, the suspense and fear started to get under my skin. With every jump scare and creepy scene, my heart raced and my senses heightened.

The tension in the movie was palpable, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen, even though a part of me wanted to look away, at the shadows that lurked in the dark.

As the climax of the movie approached, a particularly intense scene played out. The music swelled, and a sudden jolt of fear shot through me. I couldn't help but grip the edge of the couch. The soft leather felts comforting at first, but then it was as if it grabbed my palms also, had to let go.

Finally, as the movie came to an end, the credits rolled on the screen. I let out a deep breath, realizing that the movie had taken me on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

I turned off the TV and with quick steps, ran from the evil smoke that followed me, or was it all in my head?.
Flap!, my foot made a sudden noise which throbbed my soul and got me running.
I dived beneath my bedsheet at once and covered my whole body, head inclusive while I struggled to sleep instantly with my eyelids tightening at each click sound the wall clock made.
