Alone in the Wing

The wing looks scary and dark from the entrance.Just one light in the toilet glowing at the end of the corridor,all the lizards and nocturnal insects making the scene all the more eerie.

I am startled by the sound created by my own sandals as I walk towards my room.I feel like someone is following me."Too many suspense and thriller movies", I tell myself.I insert the key into the lock and turn it,the click probably surprises a lizard and it falls down on the ground.I am shocked, given my fear(or whatever) of lizards.It takes a minute or two for me to get my breath back.I look left and right and realise that I'm absolutely alone.Just two rooms in the adjacent wings show signs of life.

I turn my back towards the door and I find the lights glowing at the horizon.The night life is fully on in the city.But here, it is all a morbid atmosphere.It is very quiet,as a graveyard.

My thoughts drift away.The lights look like they are inviting me, or do they look like the lights of an army,ready to attack? But those lights cannot clear the darkness inside me.I have an unusual feeling.Am I depressed because I'm alone,or am I scared? I don't know.

Then I am suddenly reminded of the the little girl I met in the local train yesterday.I remember how she held out her hand to me,smiling at me.The thought of her innocent,happy little face cheers me up.I get into my room and decide to write a blog about the last 20 minutes.
