Thump, Thump, Slide

Description

Thump, thump, slide.

Something was moving down the hall with an incredulous heaviness and ungracefulness. Whatever, or whoever it was opened a door.

Thump, thump, slide.

It was getting louder, too.

Thump, thump, slide.

He shivered, the scrape of the door grating on his ears. 

Thump, thump, slide.

More like bang, bang, scrape

Thump, thump, slide.

Why did it have to be 'thump, thump, slide'? And why is it so loud?

Thump, thump, slide.

Can't they shut up! Yet despite his anger, there was a deeper underlying feeling: Fear. Something like a stone was swelling in his stomach, his chest was heavy and sore as the hammer beat from inside, willing to get out. The cold, dead breeze of the building wiped across the perspiration on his forehead, making him shiver more. His throat was tight and every breath felt like sandpaper in his throat. He his lips nervously, finding he had little saliva to do so.

Thump, thump, errrr...

The door leading into his room stuck. Whoever was out there attempted to heave the door across, but it wasn't budging. The male breathed a sigh of relief, but the hammer of his heart was worsening, and his chest clenched his ribs painfully. He felt a painful stab in his palms, only to find he was pressing his nails into them. He immediately straightened out his fingers in horror. He'd drawn blood, more than he should've. Outside, the thing must've been gripping the door harshing, pulling mercilessly, causing the thin sliding door began to quiver.

Even though he couldn't see what was behind the door, he knew what it was in his stomach. Or rather, who it was. He just didn't want to acknowledge it.

Suddenly, the door gave in, and moved roughly to the side. He heard a scream somewhere, just before he fainted.

Chen woke up in his bed, sweating and panting.

 

Foreword

Just so points about the story (kind of killing any mood I may or may not have conjured) that are/n't necessary:

  • It's basically a campfire story.
  • I think this story is originally Korean, but for the purpose of using Exo-M, it has been adjusted accordingly (to be Chinese).
  • ^That ^ includes using the members Chinese names, as well as filler Chinese names I stole found in my Yearbook from International students​ 
  • Other stuff has been altered and embellished, but that's to be expected. 
  • Bear in mind the doors in Asia, at least schools, used to be/are sliding doors (I have very little idea)
  • Don't bug out about the girl being too dumb; it's just the story, and characters in horrors are always dumb. 
  • I think that's all you need to know for everything to make sense.
  • Yep, yep, that's about it.
  • Sweet
  • Oh, and please enjoy and perhaps comment what was badly written etc. Thanks :)
  • Plus, it won't be very long

Well, that took longer than necessary. Sincere apologies. It was just such an uneventful chapter that I couldn't write. I'll make the last chapter way better
