The Mansion (November 20, 2024) |
 |
It was a dark, stormy night, the old mansion was cold as the guests arrived for the party. Benji as the weird kid at school, and longed to be included.
The guests arrived in small groups and were shown to the parlor, decorated for the occasion. It didn’t take long for him to feel the same exclusion that he felt at school. The guests laughed and visited among themselves while enjoying the refreshments. The more this went on the more Benji felt rejected. No one noticed when Benji got up, walked around the room and locked the door and the third story windows. No one saw him throw a powder into the fireplace that warmed the room. They did however notice the psychedelic smoke that filled the room, chocking the breath from their lungs before disassembling the very molecular structure of their adolescent bodies. Swirling together into one stream of vapor, they where drawn up the chimney, into the windy night sky and up and up towards the full moon. |
