Flash fiction

Where am I? How did I get here? I woke up on this strange, isolated desert-like island. I'm lost and clueless about what has happened to me. Where is my family? Where is Rose?. Rose was my pet bunny. She was only a little baby bunny. About 2 or 3 months old.

I start to hear chains rattle. It sounds like bad chain music. Then out from the bushes, an ugly man starts walking towards me. I walk back as he walks forward. With him coming at me, I start running. As I start running he starts chasing. Running, I trip and bump my head and my head starts spinning. I see pitch black and then my mind starts taking me back to the last time I saw Rose.

I get an image of me sitting in my room with Rose at my side. I was sitting on the edge of my bed doing my homework. Looking down at Rose, I noticed that she was very sick. I got up to make a call to the vets and that’s when it happened. I broke down into tears, praying nothing bad would happen to her. I couldn’t bare the thought of losing my best friend.

As I wake up, I see the man, in a blur, getting closer and closer as I am still on the floor. I get up and start sprinting as fast as a bunny rabbit or even a cheetah. All I am thinking is to run as fast as my legs can take it. I run and run until he can't run anymore. While he slows down, I run and hide in a bush.

I see a helicopter pass by, looking for someone. It's a police helicopter probably coming to pick the ugly man up and lock him away in jail. I try to run for it, to get the helicopter pilots attention. Maybe they could take me with them, so I can go home and see my little Rose again. Hopefully, she’s still alive. But by the time I get to a clear spot, it is too late. The helicopter has left and taken the ugly man with them,, leaving me all alone....

I.....AM.....STRANDED!!!
