Without beginning, Without end. (ENG/ITA)

👉 ENG VERSION 👈


Good evening guys,
Tonight I don't know what to write so I decided to publish a story with no beginning and no end.
I had prepared this story for a @qurator contest by mistake :-) the contest asked for few words to describe a "Horror" moment but reading in a hurry I had prepared a little longer story haha

It has no beginning, no end, that's it and it will probably stay there forever but to not lose it, here it is on my Hive Blog! :)

Matteo had just lowered the shutter of his shop, it was late and the sun had gone down for hours.
With his back to his waist, he reached into his pocket where he took the pack of cigarettes and the lighter.
He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth and opened his lungs to that grey smoke that took possession of all their space.
He was immersed in accounts that did not add up and various concerns when suddenly he heard a desperate scream coming from behind him. For a moment he remained motionless then, regaining the courage he needed, he slowly turned.
Behind him, he saw no one, yet he had heard that scream distinctly.
I throw the cigarette halfway again and think to myself if it was fatigue that had played a bad joke on him.
He walked towards the house which was a few blocks from the shop but it took about ten steps and he saw a black shape to his right, near some trees that moved as if mad by the wind, but there was no wind everything was still, except those trees.
Matteo froze for the second time and in a low voice asked the shade if he needed anything.
The shadow remained still and silent but in the blink of an eye it was gone, the trees stopped in an instant and a new cry rose in the air.
Matteo shivered, he hadn't even noticed that it had begun to rain except for the fact that now he saw the drops suspended in midair motionless.
He reached out to touch those drops, incredulous, but as soon as the shadow touched her he grabbed her arm and put a hand around his neck.
Matthew was as if paralyzed, bleached with fear, probably if he had also made it to him, he observed the shadow but he had no face, he had neither eyes nor mouth, he had nothing, black as the night.
He felt his arm squeeze and the sound of broken bones broke the silence, Matteo screamed in pain but suddenly his voice became silent, his fingers sharp as shadow's knives entered Matteo's throat.
Matteo feels faint, he could not react like those drops of rain, while the shadow still clutched his arm now devoid of sensitivity.
As it had begun everything stopped and the drops resumed their fall, Matteo felt his grip release and inexplicably his arm no longer hurt.
It was as if nothing had happened except for that whispered voice in my ear
who told him "I'll be back every night".

Buonasera Ragazzi,
Stasera non so che scrivere quindi ho deciso di pubblicare una storia senza inizio e senza fine.
Avevo preparato questa storia per un contest di @qurator per errore :-) il contest chiedeva poco parole per descrivere un momento "Horro" ma io leggendo di fretta avevo preparato una storiella un pò più lunga haha

Non ha inizio, non ha fine è così e probabilmente ci restera per sempre ma per non perderla ecoola sul mio Hive Blog! :)

Matteo aveva appena abbassato la serranda del suo negozio, era tardi e il sole era calato da ore.
Con spalle alla vita infilò una mano in tasca dove prese il pacchetto di sigarette e l'accendino.
Prese una sigaretta se la infilò in bocca e aprí i suoi polmoni a quel fumo grigio che si appropriò di tutto il loro spazio.
Era immerso da conti che non tornavano e preoccupazioni varie quando ad un tratto sentí un urlo disperato provenire da dietro di lui. Per un attimo rimase immobile poi, recuperato il coraggio che gli serviva, lentamente si girò.
Dietro di se non vide nessuno, eppure quell'urlo l'aveva sentito distintamente.
Getto la sigaretta ancora a metà e penso fra se e se che fosse stata la stanchezza a giocargli un brutto scherzo.
Si incamminò verso casa che distava pochi isolati dal negozio ma bastarono una decina di passi e vide una sagoma nera alla sua destra, vicino a degli alberi che si muovevano come impazziti dal vento, ma non c'era vento tutto era immobile, tranne quegli quegli alberi.
Matteo si bloccò per la seconda volta e con voce bassa chiese all'ombra se avesse bisogno di qualcosa.
L'ombra rimase immobile e silenziosa ma in un battito di ciglio sparì, gli alberi si fermarono in un istante e un nuovo grido si alzò nell'aria.
Matteo rabbrividì, nemmeno si era accorto che aveva incominciato a piovere se non per il fatto che ora vedeva le gocce sospese a mezz'aria immobili.
Allungò la mano per toccare quelle gocce, incredulo, ma non appena le sfiorò l'ombra afferrò il suo braccio e gli mise una mano intorno al collo.
Matteo era come paralizzato, sbiancato dalla paura, probabilmente se l'era anche fatta addosso, osservò l'ombra ma non aveva volto, non aveva né occhi né bocca, non aveva nulla, nera come la notte.
Si sentí stringere il braccio e un rumore di ossa rotte ruppe il silenzio, Matteo gridò dal dolore ma improvvisamente la sua voce divenne muta, le dita affilate come coltelli dell'ombra entrarono nella gola di Matteo.
Matteo si sente mancare, non riusciva a reagire bloccato come quelle gocce di pioggia, mentre l'ombra ancora stringeva il suo braccio ormai privo di sensibilità.
Come era incominciato tutto si fermò e le gocce ripresero la loro caduta, Matteo si sentì lasciare la stretta e inspiegabilmente il suo braccio non doleva più.
Era come se nulla fosse accaduto se non per quella voce sussurrata all'orecchio
che gli diceva "Tornerò tutte le notti".
