Beep Beep Beep

  An alarm blared displaying the time “7:00 AM”

  The sunlight slowly peaked out from behind the black curtains providing little light to the dark room

  In a drowsy motion Connor turns of the alarm and slumps out of bed

  Yawn “That was a shit sleep”

  He changed into his black hoodie with denim pants as well as put on his shoes

  Connor walks out of his room, slowly making his way down the hall and into the lounge room

  He bends down to pick up the TV remote from the small table in the center of the lounge room

  With a Click of the remote the TV turns on playing the news, Connor goes to make his breakfast leaving the TV as background noise

  “Last night a man, “Kage Grant” was shot dead after attempting to assault a police officer, this happened shortly after questioned about the disappearance of a young woman who was later found to be at a friends house, We have an interview with the officer who shot Mr. Grant here today”

  The camera panned over to the officer standing formally ready to speak

  Connor sits down, cereal in hand shoveling it into his mouth

  “Okay so after I questioned him he tried to attack me, i had my own suspicions about him but i couldn’t do anything about it~”

  Connor switched off the TV

  “Some people are fucked, but its good that the girls okay though, but then why did the Killer attack the cop if he wasn’t guilty”

  Connor set the remote down on the coffee table

  He turned to leave but then remembered

  He walked back to his room picking up a small black box with a row of 5 multi coloured LEDs along the end of it

  “I almost forgot i needed my EMF reader for the job this afternoon, Sigh everyone blames ghosts for everything now, but who cares if i get paid for it”

  He threw the EMF reader into his backpack, and puts his Wireless earbuds in

  He swiped through his playlist, it seemed endless until he settled at the bottom, The number next to the most recently added song being “1390”, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” by blue ?yster cult

  Connor began his walk to school, with the music playing in his headphones and just his thoughts taking in the scenes along the way, the sun peeking through the trees as while he walked across the bridge connecting the two parts of town together.

  Connor eventually walked up the hill leading up to his school as he got to the crest of the hill he saw his friend Oliver waiting at the gate

  “Oi Connor why do you always walk to school?”

  They both walked up the pathway leading to their school

  “Well i like to listen to music”

  Oliver gives a look of confusion

  “You know you can listen to music on the bus right?”

  “Yeah that's true, but i it's not as long plus, its relaxing”

  They both go back and forth in conversation whilst walking up the footpath to the cluster of buildings that made up their school.

  Connor spends his day at school walking to classes, eating lunch and laughing with his friends at break times. In his final class of the day Connor waited patiently for the bell to ring

  RIIIINNNNNGGG!!

  Connor grabs his bag and immediately walks out of class

  He saw Oliver at the gate waiting for his bus, as Connor passed they both waved and smiled at one another

  After awhile of walking Connor arrived at the abandoned house he was being paid to search

  There was always something distinctly eerie about the house, The paint peeled off its external walls, The grass was so overgrown it enveloped the footpath, in fact you could barely see it through the tangled waves of grass

  The house hadn’t been lived in for years or even looked after

  Connor reached into his backpack as he walked up to the house

  Since the locks had fallen off it wasn’t hard to get inside

  The rooms where dark, and the air felt dusty, their looked to be no electricity to turn the lights on with, The wallpaper appeared withered and bunched up towards the floor

  This place is dusty as fuck

  Connor gripped tighter to his EMF reader and torch as he explored the rooms of the house

  He saw knocked over furniture and kids tows sprawled across the floor in some areas

  Their were holes in the ceiling opened to a pitch black view of the roof

  A TV sat across from a tipped over lounge chair

  “Oh cool, a CRT TV” he muttered

  He was being careful not to make too much noise

  He knelt down, sitting his EMF reader next to himself and started to fiddle around with the TV

  He reached around the back and flipped a switch

  KSHHHHHHHHH!

  Its light filled the room as well as the sound of static, perlin noise was all it displayed due to its damaged antenna

  Connor attempted to display the test card to see the quality and functionality of the screen

  He managed to display the Multi Colour bars, it shot bright chromatic spills of light across the room

  A small Yellow light flickered above him, He tilted his head upwards

  An exposed cable slips from a beam in the ceiling, Previously it wasn’t even visible but now i was slithering in the air towards Connor

  The cable falls tangling around Connor like a carpet snake, The exposed wires connecting with Connors bare skin completing its circuit

  “AAAHHHH!!” ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  The voltage surged through his body, The cable trapping him in this agony

  He could feel everything, the needle like wires piercing his skin, The cable that felt like it was getting tighter around his arms and neck

  He struggled to free himself, His arms were moving sporadically in response to the electricity

  The static from the TV had felt like it had gotten louder, The EMF reader had started to beep seeming like a crescendo with Connors screams as his choir

  His body collapsed, unable to move, His body screamed in agony, he reaches out to try and pull the head of the cable from his body

  His body falls lifeless onto the floor

  No more convulsion, No more electricity, No more remnants of life in Connors body

  The sun Shone bright through Connors window

  He opened his eyes, the sun directly hitting them

  It seemed like he was okay

  Except he could remember every second of being draped in those cables, it felt like his skin was melting from the inside out

  As he stood up he couldn’t help but wonder if it really was just a dream

  Connor had previously had dreams where he felt pain dreams where he got stabbed or shot came to mind, but nothing felt like this pain, it was far too real to be a dream

  But then why was he back in his room, Connor stood in silence for several moments but then realised“Oh god i still gotta go to school”

  AAAhhh he groaned

  Connor got changed into his black hoodie and jeans

  He then walks to the bathroom

  He grabs his tooth brush and starts to hurriedly brush his teeth

  Ptt

  Connor spat out his tooth paste

  He lifted his head up, coming face to face with himself but his eyes looked as if they were fragmented into red and blue, like a chromatic aberration effect

  “What is that”

  He tugged at his eyelid staring at his eyes, it looked almost 2 dimensional it was like an overlay was being applied to his eyes

  SSSSHHHHHH

  A static hum could be heard in his ear, similar to the TV in that abandoned house, The static got loud and louder until

  The lights flickered

  The red and blue of his eye combined forming his previously dark brown iris
