Collaborative Writing- Part 2/4


Where am I? I think to myself. The unfamiliar surroundings leave me stunned almost more likely paralyzed. White bubbled walls seem to give me the feeling of being trapped there is no doors or windows. But there’s this thought that keeps running through my mind. A suicide note sealed in plastic bag with rock inside to keep it from blowing away. Check.A pistol, loaded. Check .A cell phone. Check. An empty backpack. Check. It seems so familiar but a blur all I can remember is a dog. Those striking eyes staring right at me. I try to cry out for help but I can’t speak.  I feel weak. Suddenly there’s a dog. The same dog I remember.
"You asked for help?” She inquired.

Who or what are you? I think to myself

“I’m Ellie. Your guardian.” She informed me.

My guardian? Wait but how does she know what I’m thinking? And how can she speak she’s only a dog? All these questions start filling my mind. I’m puzzled. Lost. How could this be?

“Yes I am your guardian; I made it in time to save you. And by the way I’m not only a dog I’m an angel. This is the form of which us guardians keep ourselves hidden on earth. That is why you have most likely heard the saying a ‘man’s best friend’.”Ellie explained. “Oh and one more thing to answer your troubling question, we guardians are only able to read minds if you can’t speak and we can’t speak on earth because you can. That is why guardians can only speak through a bark to one and another. Unless it is an emergency. Okay well enough questions for now.”

And she was gone. But gone where? What is this place? What does Ellie mean by ‘I made it just in time to save you?

More and more questions keep popping up in my mind mixing with that same thought that’s been keeping me awake. A suicide note sealed in plastic bag with rock inside to keep it from blowing away. Check.A pistol, loaded. Check .A cell phone. Check. An empty backpack. Check.

‘Grrrr’ my stomach keeps roaring, I’m hungry, I’m hungry it keeps crying. Ellie’s back but this time with food. She has been reading my thoughts again. My plates filled with the finest of foods lobster with a helping of vegetables, delicious mash and my favourite chocolate pudding. An old man like me can never miss chocolate pudding and thank you Ellie I think as she watches me gobble down my food.

“Since your finished why don’t you come with me and I will answer all your questions you still have pondering in your mind” Ellie suggested.

Come where? I questioned in my thoughts…..
