Cringe short story

As day became night, everyone around me was dead and I was alone again, I watched as each of my “friends” were picked off one by one, I watched as each of them died, and all I did was sit there and watch. I walked through the school halls slowly, looking through every window of every classroom, seeing each one of my “friends” laying dead on the floor. I remember the look on everyone's face when they found out that we were locked inside, it was priceless. I looked at the door that was once locked, I retrieved the keys from in my pocket and unlocked the door. I took a quick glance back and walked out knowing that my job here was done. 


Now, You’re probably wondering what happened?

  Well, it all started around an hour ago when my “friend” Jessica texted me and asked if I could help record a video at an old abandoned school that was shut down 2 years ago. I decided to check out the building beforehand and try to find a way in. After, a couple hours I met with Jessica, and her friends at the spot we chose to gather together. I walked up to Jessica, who was on her phone standing by the car, with three other boys.


“Hey Jess” I force a smile on my face.

She didn’t take her eyes off of her phone, as everyone walked over to the front.

“So, how do we get in?” One boy exclaimed.

I turned to them “Follow me, I know a way in.”


They followed me into the old rundown building, and suddenly there was a big bang from behind us.  Everyone spun around in fear when they realized something covered the entrance from which we come from. We glanced around the room and I began recording with my camera and flashlight.

I stayed behind everyone since I had needed to record everything.  I walked around and explored when the lights began to flicker on.


Dylan walked in and said “What the fuck?”

Jessica ran in behind him and yelled, “Where is Jake?”

And then that’s when all hell broke loose.


We looked for Jake, and that’s when the lights flickered again, we heard a scream from behind us. Then there were only two of us, Jess and I.

Jess cried and screamed for help, she pounded on every door; she ran into one classroom and banged on the windows.


“Look! An axe!” Jess said with joy as she ran towards it, but she couldn’t pick it up.

I walked over to it and lifted it up slowly while watching Jessica's every last movement.

She continued to bang on the windows. She told me to break the windows, but I just stood there watching her. She continued to scream at me to break them, and that she didn't wanna die.

I sighed, “You know, you love to boss people around.”

She looked at me wiping the tears from her face “What?”

“You heard me, I’m tired of you and your friends,” 

My voice continued to raise “always bossing me around.”

I yelled “I’m tired of you” and raised the axe. All that surrounded me turned red. 


I walked through the school halls slowly, looking through every window of every classroom, seeing each one of my “friends” laying dead on the floor. I looked at the door that was once locked, I retrieved the keys from in my pocket and unlocked the door. I took a quick glance back, and walked out knowing that my job here was done. It was dark out, and I continued to walk towards my car. I saw a flash of light from the corner of my eye, little did I know that one single flash of light is the same thing that I run from every day.
