Description
I continued staring into the walls as I finally awoke. I was sat up in a chair, it was big, comfortable. I looked around the rest of the room, it looked like it had been decorated in the 1960s. Just as I thought that an old woman came shambling into the room, her face covered in wrinkles. "I just put the kettle on sweetie, the tea will be done soon," She said in a sickly sweet voice. I already felt sick, she sat on the sofa next to the chair I was in. "Now, how has your life been?" I opened my mouth to speak but closed it abruptly, I was scared of throwing up. "Bad? aw, I remember a long time ago when I was feeling bad, I kept my mouth shut and it turned out fine," Her face twisted into a smile, it looked unnatural on her. she reached out to touch my hair but stopped when there was a loud whistle from the other room. "Ah, that'd be the kettle, I'll go make the tea," She began to stand and I watched her shuffle unnaturally quick out of the room. I looked around the room once again, the outside looked to be completely white, the colour radiating through the glass windows. the woman quickly returned, placing a try on the old decrepit coffee table. "So, what was it you were going to say?" She stated, picking up a china teacup from the tray.
"Who are you?" I said I heard my voice echo as her smile dropped.
"Do you not remember me?"
"No, I'm sorry but where am I?"
"Oh, sweetheart, drink your tea, it'll help you remember," She said, taking a sip from her own cup. I picked up the other cup, observing the liquid inside of it. It was a thick, dark, oily substance and I watched it swerve around the fragile china. "Come on, drink up," She said, insinuating with her hands for me to do so. I sighed, placing the cup down "My apologies, but I'm not drinking that,"
"Well, why not? It's a perfect cup of tea, just the way you like it,"
"Whatever that is, it isn't tea," I mumbled. The woman gasped her facial expression displaying anger. "No need to be so rude," She said, banging her cup down on the tray. It split open, the same black oily liquid spilling out. She scurried to clean it up, muttering something under her breath. "I'll be right back," Anger laced her tone as she smiled at me and left the room, tray in hand. I started eagerly looking for a way out, that woman wouldn't let me leave. She scurried back into the room, "Listen if you don't like something shut up about it,"
"No," I said, confused.
"What!" She shouted, grabbing me by my wrist.
"If I have a problem about something, I should speak up about it, talk about it not-" I was cut off when she slapped my face.
"Listen here young-" Her words sounded like static, but she then continued "You will listen to me, come here," she started dragging me out of the room. I clawed at her hand, trying to get her off me as she dragged me up the stairs, not letting me walk, my head hit the stairs. She looked back at me in disgust. "I try to be nice, but every time they disregard my generosity, my kindness," I felt like yelling, but I was stuck there as she opened a door and threw me in. "Think about what you've done!" She screeched leaving me in the dark. I was instantly met with the smell of decaying bodies, I reached around the floor and I felt a hand grab me. "Help," It said, its voice was raspy, "Help me," it started clawing at me, dragging me towards it. I shoved it off of me, only for me to hear the sound of it falling to the ground. "Where are we?" no answer.
"Who are you?" Silence.
"Are you okay?" I poked the arm that had been dragging me, it turned over and it revealed itself to be severed.

I don't know how long it had been, an hour, a year, however long it really had been, I saw the door open again. "Have you learned your lesson?" It was the same woman. "If you mean not to piss you off, then yes," the woman turned the light on, displaying all the dead bodies that I had been surrounded by for the time I had been there. "This doesn't frighten you?"
"No, from what I've learned," I smirked, standing up. "It's all a lie, bitch," I ran up to her, punching her hard in the face. She fell the ground and I began the pummel her, "You're wrong, shut up if you think your right!" I screamed in her face, the woman smiled and nodded, "Finally," I then realised who she was. The room started melting away into light, the woman evaporating from under me. I was enveloped by the blinding light.

I jolted awake, frantically shaking my significant other to wake them up. "What is it?" they said, their voice displaying the exhaustion they felt.
"I just had the weirdest-"
