The Writer from the Cabin

Pool of murder

I've already forgotten why I was there among with other hormone-raging teenagers, anticipating the tour of the modern chic cabin house. Oh I remember, I read somewhere that one can visit this writer's home and buy books from his collection in super bargain prizes. I felt I won the lottery when I found the children book I was looking for. Something about alphabet letters and rain.

I continued to look around and came across an old bookshelf that's about to collapse anytime. Curiosity got the best of me as I pick out a book and the whole thing toppled down. The writer was just behind me, glaring mad. I think he wants me to pay for everything but as expected, I only have probably five hundred pesos with me. (Now why didn't I buy gold coins yet.) Plus, I dont think I should pay for all of them but help clean up the mess instead.

Something inside of him snapped, I saw it in his eyes. He didn't say anything and was distracted by one of the customers. I took the chance to slip away. A few steps away, I heard a scream. People were in panic, doors were slamming. I think I smell blood. I've got to get out of here.

I went to the farther right side of the house and came inside a room with the afternoon light pouring in. Luckily, the balcony door was open. Here's our escape out.

There are some workers on the field, doing their farm duties, clueless to the chaos that's happening inside. I tried to control the turmoil I was feeling inside and walked casually until I reached a rowing boat.

I felt a great relief when I crossed the lake just before night time.

I get to see other's POV. They were only playing their part as they too were previous captives and were trying to find their way out of this craziness. "My parents will come to get us soon." the girl said. I think I saw them before I took the turn. I've no idea if they survived, of if there were any survivors.

Dead tired, I sat on a picnic benched occupied by a dating couple. A few minutes later, the girl seemed to recognize me. She was also a survivor from the cabin. I saw her there when I was searching for a room and she closed the door on me.

I was half-awake already. I don't want to know what happened next and got out of bed.
