Soapsuds
by Dom - 2004
It started out as normal day at school. I went to class, finished up a little work, and then began walking back to my car. Thoughts of how good my lunch would be popped into my mind. It would be glorious.
As I walked, I saw a trail of some strange substance on the sidewalk. "Hmmmm... what might that be?" I asked myself. It seemed just to be a trail of harmless soapsuds. I figured it was no big deal - after all everyone around me didn't seem to notice or care. What harm could these little soapsuds cause? And that's when it happened...
I felt a feeling of fear and terror sweep over me. I felt like running away, but I couldn't. I looked around and saw everyone else contining to go about their normal business. And to my shock, I was too. My body kept on going while my consciousness was plunged into an abyss of terrible psychological horror.
There was something in the air. It was like some strange fumes were being given off from the "soapsuds." While life kept going, apparently as usual, myself and those around me where far far away in a world of terror. I saw the buildings around me slowly melt away, leaving only the smiling faces of my fellow students. And then I swirled into the darkness.
