Another article out off topic of exchange but I wrote this to English because I had to and I pretty like it! Enjoy! (inspired by romanticism authors such as E.A.Poe, Washington Erving,...)
THE DEVIL'S LIGHT
I was 25
and my life seemed to be successful so far. I finished school in the beautiful
city of Brno where I lived. I had my own flat in quiet and safe part of the
town and even more I possessed a car. I could not say anything against my circumstances.
Also in this age to be a gregarious is nothing special so neither I wasn’t an
exception. I loved my very normal life.
One very
normal Friday when I was living my ordinary routine I decided to do something
different today. At my new boring work I searched for a diversification of my
evening. When I found what I had looked for I called to my best friend Mark
about this event which appeared at first sight like a lot of fun. When he
agreed with this idea I was contented only because I hadn’t known my future
destiny.
The party
was at countryside near to Brno but not so far from my apartment. It was too
far for range of public transport so me Mark took my car and drove through
narrow roads in eerie forest which is especially in the night dark,
labyrinthine and dangerous. In this daytime your purpose is not to stay in this
forest for an extra-long time so when we passed this place and arrived to the
club we were happy that the party could began.
After while
at the club I saw my crush. I had known her since childhood but she never had ever
reciprocated the feelings that I had for her. Then the amazing moment came. As I
talked with Mark the beautiful lady walked straight to me. When she stopped at
our table I started to pay attention to her instead of my best friend. We had a
little argument and in consequence he left. I was a little bit frustrated but
the thought was fleeting as I had the opportunity to talk with my crush. She
suggested that we should move from table to the bar for a better night. I was
hesitant for I driven there, thus I couldn’t drink much but when I heard her
tempting voice which sounded like a sirens I wasn’t able to say no. After
midnight in the moon light I saw her sparking eyes which told me let’s go
somewhere private. I was so captivated, so we used my car to drive her place.
As I was driving her beautiful voice told me stories, capturing all thoughts
and ideas, and then I saw it - I saw the devil in front of my car. He shined
the light of the fiery pits of hell into my eyes blinding me. In an effort to not crash into these two
devils lights I turned the wheel hoping not to hit what was in front of me. As
I Swerved into the forest the terrible light followed but before I could get
away BOOM we smashed into a tree. I survived. I survived but my childhood
sweetheart, entangled into the broken glass and twisted metal of the car, next
to me was lifeless. The tears were streaming down my face they blurred my eyes
but my hearing was good the noisy sirens of the police cars coming near. My survival instincts kicked in and I
sprinted in any direction I could, I climbed through the brush and trees of the
forest searching for the familiar light of my flat.
As I
slammed into the door, my normal flat and its familiar walls reminded me of the
life that I knew that I would never know again. I frantically called my best
friend but he didn’t pick up the phone. My hopelessness couldn’t be described.
I called him again and again but he didn’t reply. My mind had created a
discussion between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll showed way out but
unfortunately this way showed jail and lost life because there was no way that
they would not go looking for me because the alcohol on my breath was a dead
giveaway. Mr. Hyde showed the light. Showed the same devil light how I saw
before again and again it was the persuasive light of sin and evil.
Very next
morning my best friend seeing my very normal flat with its very normal walls
and very normal cat and very normal me hanging from the very normal ceiling
fan.
