Strange Places--Behrouz

I woke up in a strange place and had no idea how I even ended up there. Perhaps I had way too
much fun yesterday, who knows I mean it was a Saturday night. Anyway, I don’t even know where I am, nothing in this house looks like anything in my house. I try to make out the house, I see a mattress, covered with a brown wooden bed frame, next to a desk with a clutter of pencils, pens and papers. I make my downstairs and I find an object I have never seen before, a gun. A pistol to be exact, not knowing what to do, I leave it alone. So far, I’ve had no interaction with anyone in this new place. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Bullets had been fired just outside and someone has just fallen on the ground. I grab the pistol in case a person tries to get me next and hide in the bedroom I woke up in. Fearing for my life, my mind starts traveling in 100 different ways at once. Endless waiting and waiting and waiting, as time passes by, I calm down. I decide to look further in my house and try to look outside and examine my surroundings. I make my way downstairs again and look out the window, green hills, grass and open fields surround me. Then, I spot another house just across the one I woke up in, a different color and hopefully better hiding places. I check all angles to make sure I see nobody and make a break for it. I run as hard and fast as I can and burst my way in. I cover my tracks my closing the door, making it look like nobody’s here. I notice a backpack on the floor and pick it up, finding a first-aid kit inside, some food and water. Craving food since I hadn’t eaten at all, I scarf down the food and drink all the water. I make my way upstairs, checking every corner along the way. I come up on a closed door and fearing the worst, I knock to see if I can find a fellow stranger like me. I knock, silence. Trembling, I decide to brave it out and burst in, trying to figure how to load my gun. Finally figuring it out, I cock it and point for intimidation. No one is there but I find a shotgun, already loaded. I put the pistol in my backpack and look throughout the house. Finding nothing upstairs, I make my downstairs and outside I see a basement. Braving it, I delve deeper into this mysterious place in the world and look through, finding yet another gun, this time what looks an M16. I head back up and I suddenly start feeling gruesome, burning pain. I look around to see if anyone is there and it seems no one is around me. Then I notice something, everything around me just got darker and the further back I look, the darker it is. I brace myself and run straight into an open field and realise I’m not being hurt anymore. I try to bandage myself up but there’s no

cuts or bruises on my body. Suddenly, I hear footsteps that seem to be coming closer and fearing for my life, I grab my shotgun and keep it at the ready. Nothing happens, either he has left or he saw me and is waiting. Nervous, I slowly edge my way close to the edge of the stairs, peeking to see if someone is there. Wait! Someone is there, from what I can make out, he appears to have some type of armor, medieval it looks like, all black, including a black helmet with piercing red eyes that look like they can end anything they see. Without hesitation, we both hear something and he takes off. He looked terrifying but I wanting to see where he goes, I follow from a distance. However, I come to see that he stands over someone and is searching through their things, taking what he can find and quickly moving, checking over his shoulder every second. Curious, I lean forward more and knock down something, jumping from pure shock. In an instant, he turns around, looks at me and starts unloading a gun that sounds like it came from hell itself. In a couple of seconds, here he is now and is searching through my things, murmuring while he does it. I close my eyes and hope for the best until the day restarts again. Now, some of you have realised, I have just described to you my first Fortnite game, which clearly went horribly.
