I was trapped. 
 
 Alone and terrified, and I was trapped. 
 
 I don ’ t know how I ’ d gotten here, how I ’ d been left so alone… But I knew I wasn ’ t safe. 
 
 * ” Look at the poor little girl… abandoned by everyone she thought cared… ” * 
 
 I looked around wildly, trying to locate the source of the whispers, but the dark space surrounding me appeared empty. 
 
 * ” Search all you want, girly. You should be used to isolation by now… ” * 
 
 “ Who are you? ” My voice shook as I asked, shattering the strong façade I was attempting to present. 
 
 My question was met with an incredulous laugh coming from the shadows 
 
 * ” I ’ m everything you ’ ve* **ever** *feared. ” * 
 
 The voice turned threatening as I curled up into a ball, shaking in fear. 
 
 * ” Is the poor little girl* **SCARED** *now? Is she* **FRIGHTENED**??'' 
 
 The voice was now accompanied by loud crashes, feeling like hammers in my head. I flinched as each bang got louder, shaking and crying and confused. 
 
 **BANG** 
 
 * ” All alone… ” * 
 
 **BANG** 
 
 * ” Not one person caring if you ’ re here or not… ” * 
 
 **BANG** 
 
 * ” Why do you even bother surviving… No-one would care if you were gone for good ” * 
 
 **BANG** 
 
 * ” Crying alone to yourself, and no-one noticing.. ” * 
 
 “ Why are you doing this? Leave me alone!! ” I screamed through my tears, and the banging stopped almost as quickly as it started. 
 
 * “ We can ’ t leave you alone… We ’ ll be here forever ” * 
 
 And the torment started again. 
 
 I was trapped. 
 
 I was trapped in my own mind.
