Twist Ending

Short Story Twist Ending

He was a hard working man, successful, enjoyed the finer things in life. He would run around playing football with his Friends in High school and talk to all the pretty girls that sat and watched him score a touchdown. He’d take one out on a date and compliment her on how beautiful she was. She would smile and laugh and give him a kiss on the check. He’d take her home and wish her a goodnight and tell her he’d call her in the morning. She’d give him one more kiss and go inside and sit on her bed and think, while he got in his car and drove off into the night. She knew something was strange about this guy, he was to good to be true. She went into a deep thought and realized that it was morning already. How did she fall asleep ? She can’t remember a thing. She got up out of bed and looked around and saw that her place was cleaned up. This is strange. She pinched herself to see if she was dreaming. « Ouch » she said. This proved that it wasn’t a dream. Her head was spinning with confusion. The coffee pot was making a fresh batch of warm coffee, but she didn’t even get up to go and start making it. She just shrugged her shoulders and went to go pour a fresh cup to see if that would wake her up some more to see that all this was just in her head. She Grabbed her cup and walked to the table were she sat and looked out the window at the beautiful towers in the city. She remembered that the guy she met last night was suppose to call her, and possibly take her out again for another date. She thought maby he was the one that would win her heart and marry her. She waited and waited but still no call. Maby he’s busy she thought to her self. So she went and got ready to take a shower and hopefully by the time she got out he’d call… 20 mins in the shower and still no call. She gave up hope and got ready for work. She got dressed and grabbed her keys and headed towards the door, when the phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up. « hello ? » she said. « hey how’s it going ? » he replied. « sorry i couldn’t call any sooner i over slept ». « oh ha that’s OK . I'm just about to head out to get to work » she replied. «  Maby we can do something when i get off though ? ». «  Well about that. The thing is i can’t see you for a while. I’m kind of busy watching over some one and can’t leave her out of my sight ». « oh that’s fine well when your not busy let me know, we can get some dinner or something ? » she asked. « sounds good, talk to you later. Bye ». He hung up. She layed down the phone and quickly ran out the door because she was going to be late. This is very strange she thought why would he be watching over someone ? Was it a job ? was he a babysitter or something ? Huh ? As she crossed the street she looked at a man who looked a lot like the guy that she met last night and was just on the phone with. She quickly walked toward him but she couldn’t keep up with him. It seemed that she was running in place. She screamed at the man telling him to wait for her but the man didn’t even budge to turn around and look. She dropped her purse and started running to him, the man took off sprinting down the sidewalk and lead her on a high speed chase down the pavilion, through a puddle, and into an ally. Just then the man stopped in front of a wall and turned to look at her. He had bleach white eyes as if he was a blind man. She slowly walked towards him, slowly reaching to touch him. He backed up away from her with each and every step until he couldn’t back up anymore. She finally stood in front of him and touched his face. He grabbed her and tied her up and deported her to a room with nothing but blank white walls and a little bed. The women freaked out and realized that this wasn't a dream but a crazy imagination. She snapped back to reality and realized that she was in an insane asylum and was put in a room for running down the hall’s chasing nothing, but what she thought was a man.
