Witnesses in Horror (part 3 added) (mmm/ffmmmm)
Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2025 1:07 am
This is my first story. Advice would be appreciated:)
John was walking through the city at night with his friends. Their names were Isabelle, Elizabeth, Alex, and Josh. His brother Eric was also there. Elizabeth led the way. Usually Josh would lead but he was drunk as hell right now. It was a long walk back.
"Let’s cut through the alley," Elizabeth said.
“But the alleys are dark and creepy. That’s like a horror movie choice†said John.
“That’s a shortcut,†she said, smiling.
The alley was narrow and dark. Elizabeth started walking down it, so the rest followed her. Halfway through, they heard it a muffled voice and a scream. They stopped. Elizabeth held out a hand, signaling them to be still. In the alleyway, three figures had a man pinned against the wall. He struggled, but they had him by the jacket, by the throat. One of them smashed his phone on the ground and stomped on it 3 times. Another grabbed his bag and poured out the contents.
“Where’s the rest?†one said.
“I told you, I don’t—â€
The man punched him in the stomach
Isabelle whispered “We should call someone—â€
“Shh. They might hear us†said Elizabeth
But it was too late. One of the gang members turned his head towards them, and smiled. John recognized him. He knew he had seen him before. The man smiled, and then all three turned. In terror, all the friends ran, and heard slamming footsteps behind them. But the gang didn’t chase them for long, as they didn’t have to. The friends had already been seen. The damage was done.
2 days later...
John’s friends started disappearing. They didn’t show up to work, to meetups, and didn’t respond to texts. First to disappear was Elizabeth. Then Isabelle, then Alex, then Josh, and then even Eric disappeared. John thought they were pranking him. However it didn’t make sense that they would skip class for a prank. Even when John asked his teachers, they said they didn’t know where they were. It wasn’t until this night that John would know the truth. He was walking in the city back to his dorms when he felt a hand clamp over his mouth. He tried to scream, but then he felt a taser hit him, knocking him unconscious.
