FAMILY ENVIRONMENT

He would never imagine this to happen.
Brittles of sweat dripped down his
forehead as his lungs desperately
gasped for air. He thought that he was
gone for days but turned out, It had only
been for hours. The sun dipped down the
horizon as the pale peachy colour
changed to dark blue. He made sure that
the monstrous cabinet was locked. He
knew it was his biggest mistake to stay
at home alone that day. After a whole
moment of fidgeting and feeling
uncomfortable, he could hear a distinct
sound of an engine rummaging the house
porch, He ran to meet his parents, "The
tales you told me was real!" he talked to
them frantically.

Daniel is a normal teenager who loves the flat screen and talking
through the headphone while his hand is busy pressing on the
controller. He barely follows his parents to any family gathering
knowing he will not get to play his online games. His father does not say
much as he is always absorbed with his work as if he is passing his
responsibilities as a father to look after Daniel to the video games. On
the other side, Daniel's mother told Daniel, a tale about a boy who loves
to stay at home alone was caught by a witch in a closet. Daniel would
brush it off knowing his mother was just trying to scare him.

It was just any other day where Daniel stayed at
home. He was searching for his old video games.
Reluctantly getting his eyes off the screen, he went to
the basement to find it. He could not find it anywhere
and then something caught his eyes. There was a
wardrobe at the corner of the room. The wardrobe was
designed with ridges on it. Wiping the dust off the
knob, Daniel searched for his video games high and
low. He started to realize something. The wardrobe had
no walls. It was empty as if he could walk through it.

Fulfilling his curiosity, he began to crawl into the wardrobe and he was right. It was a tunnel
with a beam of light at the end of it. He squinted his eyes as the light penetrated his eyes. Soon, he
was no longer in his basement. Daniel stood up in awe as his eyes were capturing the picturesque
view. He was in a sort of magical land. The mountains were strawberry snowballs. Chocolates
were streaming down the river. Daniel looked to his foot, stepping on the brick. Crouching down,
he grabbed the brick and had a taste of it. It was made out of cookies! Soon after, he began his
journey in the magical land hoping it was not just a dream. The birds were chirping in unison on
the tree branches. He devoured himself with all the dessert until a hand tapped on his back. Daniel
screamed in shock.

“Having fun?" she asked. It was a charming woman with a
white dress perfectly fit on her body. There was a lace
embroidery cape draped around her neck and a sparkly crown on
her head. Daniel thought she was his fairy godmother who
brought him to this place. The fairy godmother invited him to his
place. Without any hesitation, Daniel tugged along with her. She
brought him into the deep forest and Daniel started to get an
eerie feeling. It was gloomy. Daniel felt a lump in his throat and
he knew something was not right.

Suddenly, the fairy godmother yanked on his arm and
pushed him into a cage. Daniel tried to escape and forced
the cage to open, but it was locked. The fairy godmother was
actually a witch. Her crown had changed into a black hat.
Her white jewellery dress changed into a black cloak. "I am
having you for dinner today!” She gleed. Daniel started to
feel scared. His mind was running wild. Then, the witch left
the dungeon to prepare the boiling water to broil Daniel into
a delicious soup. Daniel knew this was his chance to escape.

With all the tips and trick he gained from his video games
character, the terror fueled his legs and he dashed out of the
dungeon. The witch noticed and screamed. He ran as quick as
lightning and realized the dessert magical land had turned into
horror. The mountains and river were trying to engulf him. Daniel lost
the sight of the witch and was trying to find the way out. His
heartbeat was beating like crazy and his body was trembling. His leg
felt something. He gazed down. It was the cookie path earlier. He
fastened his pace and followed the track. “Stop there, young man!”
the witch yelled. Without looking back, Daniel ran and back to the
dark tunnel, he crawled through it. When his eyes caught the familiar
cement floor, he knew he was back at his basement.

He gathered his last piece of strength to get up and forced
the wardrobe door to close with his back. Taking a few deep
breaths, he turned and looked at the wardrobe hoping no
witch would jump out of it at any second. Building up his
courage, he opened the door again and carefully touched,
into the wardrobe. His fingers could feel the cold wood
material. He sighed in relief before running back upstairs.

After the incident happened, Daniel changed to
become a better one. He began to follow his parents for
family gatherings and played with the neighbour's son
every evening. There were nights where Daniel would
dream about the witch and it had been haunting him
ever since. Video games stopped becoming his priority
anymore. Well, maybe that is what a mother can do,
they be putting the geez in everything they said and it
becomes a reality. Now, Daniel is hoping for his mother
to mention anything about a family trip, and let us see
if it becomes a reality too!
