Capítulo 1: Chapter One
'The darkness pursed me by the second. My screams were heard by none, other than the suffocating creature, who had been following since the beginning. I felt its claws wrap around my neck and...'
I sighed and raised my hands off my laptop. Just then my phone rang. I looked down to see my editor's name displayed on the screen.
"Hey Sam!" His dreadfully cheerful voice greeted me.
"Hello Mr. Diblan." He chuckled and sighed.
"C'mon, Sam. I've told you countless times to call me Alan. We've known each other for close to thirty years now."
"More like twenty. Anyways, what do you need?" I shut my laptop on my desk and leaned back in my chair.
"Do I need a reason to check up on my favorite writer?" I rolled my eyes.
"Well?" He gave an exasperated sigh.
"Very well." I could practically see him taking his glasses off, like he usually did when he got down to business.
"How far are you on your next book?"
"Um..." I glanced at my paper outline. "The first paragraph." I flinched.
"What!" I pulled the phone away from my ear as he continued his lecture. " Sam, it's been over two years since your last book came out! Do you really need more time just to think about a new idea?" I sighed.
"Yes, I've been thinking this whole time. Nothing sparks my creativity. Would it really be too much to ask for a break? I've worked nonstop for your company for years." I could almost see him shaking his shaggy dirty-blond head.
"Alright, I'll let the company know. How long do you think you'll be gone?"
"I don't know, I'll call you when I get back."
"Could you at least text me once a week so that I know you're alive?"
"I was thinking about leaving my phone at home actually." He sighed.
"Isn't that safe." He mumbled under his breath. I laughed. "At least send some form of acknowledgement that you're okay." We chatted a little more before he hung up. We'd known each other for years, even before I worked for him and his company. We used to go to school together since the first grade. We were practically siblings. And just like an older brother, he was way too overprotective of me.
I sighed and spun around in my chair. I smiled as I looked around my small one room apartment. Clothes lying all over the floor and furniture, takeout boxes in the mix, and somewhere in this obscene mess was a bed that I used to sleep on. Where to start?
