Terror Tales of the Unknown

Nightmare on the rise

Cracking on every branch on the ground, as I took steps forward. Running, going anywhere but here. I'm running for my life, but the sound of silence is eerie and the suspense of me waiting for my own demise has its own clouded air i'm breathing. My chest feels heavy and my heart is going beyond what I can comprehend in the moment of my life. My life...Yes,what have I actually done with time? I type at my computer till dusk and printing statistics of things i can't read without a dictionary on hand. Why did I waste my time here. I was broken out of my thoughts by the sound of twigs behind me and a scream so loud it left me deaf for a second. This is it, I thought waiting behind a tree for something to happen. I swift my leg to run and was pulled up instead by an unknown creature, the howling of the thing was enough to knock me out. Later i'm in a cave of sorts, with pods of something wrapped in a white thread. Where was i was the first thing i said allowed in a tiresome and rough voice before being shushed be one of the pods that now moved with haste toward me. I went to move but then noticed i was bound in the same white thread but was slightly elevated in the same. I struggled and was about to shout when something spoke from the pod. In a tune like a whisper but was still audible. All i knew is that it did not sound human. The twist in my stomach turned and i felt sick. “Its happening” said the voice inside the pod, I felt more than sick, I felt like i was going to vomit. After a moment or two of gaging something came out and it was just there on the floor. Then i noticed something, it was breathing… I immediately forced a scream that echoed through the cave and came back. What is this thing i wondered, peering down at the ball now uncoiling its hairy legs and opened its large black eyes. I was scared, no, I was terrified. When I let out a gasp of air it spotted me, staring up with eyes that looked deeper than the ocean, and was just as dangerous. The voice in the pod erupted with laughter and the thing in front of me turned to it and started breaking the threads. Nows my chance, but i cant move but could only stare and watch at the black spiders poured out of the pod. They climbed over me and with every one that went over me,bit me and i slowly start to fade. My vision going in and out of focus, my body grew limp and the spiders started crawling inside me. My mouth, my nose, and all i could do was feel the throbbing in my head and feel them eating away my insides. What could i do? But sit there and waste away as they picked my bones out of their teeth, they had gotten bigger now. And i pray for the one who encounters them next.
