This is my entry for storytelling on POB
I've never been a popular kid. I'm what you can call average: Not so many talents, but not completely worthless. I go to school everyday, I take all my classes, and I get out of school around 6PM. My days are boring as they can be, it's like I'm on a loop program for some boring video game. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just a second character in someone's game. Yeah, that's probably it. Someone must be having a lot of fun right now, while I'm just doing things over and over again. While I was cursing my own life, going to the bus, I notice that a group of kids were on the other side of the street, all looking at something on the floor. Normally I wouldn't care about this, but all the cool kids were there, and from the look on their faces, it didn't seem like they were making fun of anyone, nor they were boasting the new shoes they got. They faces looked like a distortion, something unnatural, something really extraordinary. So my eyes went down to what they were looking at. And never in my wild dreams I thought I would...
See a person down the sewer.
i couldnt tell exactly if it's really a shape of a person. all i could see is the upper part of his figure as it was really pal and dreadful or covered in white paint.
i looked down to it directly. and my eyes were permanatly fixed in astonishment like being stoned with the medusa spell.
those eyes, that redness in the pupils with dark lashed makeup contour. some mystical Rubedo force raised in his sight.
he was some kind of clown but seemingly not to make kids laugh.
he uttered an few words that i was unfamiliar of some kind of old language and called my name.
"josh...josh...the night will blush in the summer rush, so hush...hush"
I didn't quite understood the meaning of it but it was somehow of a puzzle or casting a spell.
I turned behind to check on the kids and found that they were gone then i turned back to see that he's vanished and left me a red balloon.
i went back home not being able to quite my mind for a single second as the thoughts kept lining in a rush making my hole body crumble and crush!
this must end ! stop ! stop !
HUSH ! HUSH !
suddenly the noise has stopped and then quite and bizarre silence in the country road.
I lowered my hands from my head,still processing what is happening then I looked foreword down the road then, i saw him again in full figure.
tall, dressed in red like dipped in blood, felt like the sun is heating up further more. i was intensity covered in sweat, it suddenly got into an eclipse and...
the balloon
