TASK 2: PLACE
Place: Black Box

This place was very freaky and mysterious. It was all covered with black paint. I couldn't smell anything in here. I felt like I’m in some kind of fourth dimensional place, where no one lives. This place was scary too. I practiced dance in this place. However, even though I’ve come here before, it still felt like new and weird. I couldn't hear anything. All I could hear was my walking sound, squeaky and freaky. Whenever I walked, I could hear this squeaky sound that felt like something was going to pop out. I saw down and looked at the mirror. The mirror was huge and stuck on the wall. I moved my arms, legs, and my head. It was just a normal mirror but, it was strange. I felt like there are other me in the mirror, moving himself. This place was somehow freaking me out. It was way too silent. The silence was making me crazy. I felt like I was trapped in this place. I was just walking around this place. My brain was blank. When I came this place, I couldn’t think of anything here. It was sucking me inside. All I saw was the mirror and me as reflected in the mirror. Then, I heard another foot step. I was nervous. 'Who's that?" I asked myself. Somehow, I was afraid of something that I didn't know. I was about to run, because my instinct reacted. My subconscious feeling was telling me to run away from black box. I dashed out like a lightning. I closed my eyes and didn't look back.
