Abby’s Hope

The only light in my living room came from the television. It was casting these weird shadows on the walls. I had found this DVD at a yard sale. It was in a sleeve with some writing on it: Ginny & Georgia. “Abby’s Hope”. Unreleased Cut.

I thought it was a deleted scene or something a fan had made.. I was wrong.

The picture on the TV was not very good. Sometimes it was clear. Sometimes it was all fuzzy. The show started with the opening credits.. The music was not right. It was slow. Sounded really creepy.

The scene showed Abby in her bedroom. She was sitting at her vanity putting on eyeliner. In the show this is a sad moment for her.. Something was off here. When Abby moved her reflection in the mirror did not move. It just sat there staring at her.

Abby. Looked in the mirror. She did not. Anything. She just looked really tired. “I am tired of hiding ” she said to the mirror. “I am tired of hiding the lines Ginny.”

Then the camera showed the hallway. Ginny was standing there. She looked really strange. Her arms and legs were too long. Her skin was a weird grey color. She walked into the room. Her feet did not make any sound on the floor.

“Abby ” Ginny said. Her voice was not like a persons voice. It sounded like a recording played backwards. “Are you ready to stop hoping?” she asked.

What happened next was really weird. Abby started talking about how she felt like nobody could see her.. As she talked the room started to fall apart. The wallpaper was peeling off. There was black mold underneath. It was like the mold was alive or something.

Ginny walked closer to Abby. She put her hand on Abby’s shoulder. It made her shirt fall apart. Abby did not even flinch. She just kept staring at the camera.

“They do not see us Ginny ” Abby said. Her voice was really low and creepy. “They just watch us.”

The camera zoomed in on Abby’s face.. For a second it looked like her skin was sliding off her skull. There was just a dark hole underneath. The sound was really loud and scary.

Then the TV just went black.

I sat there frozen. The room was really quiet. It felt heavy. Then some words appeared on the screen: “Abby is still hoping. She’s hoping you’ll turn around.”

I did not turn around. I just sat there staring at the TV.. Then I saw something in the reflection of the screen. It was a figure in a cheerleader uniform standing in the corner of my room. Its head was tilted in a weird way.

I tried to turn off the TV. Just as I did I heard a voice behind me. It sounded like Abby. “Did you see us too?” it said.

I have not slept since then.. When I walk by a mirror I do not look at myself. I am too afraid of what I might see. Ginny & Georgia is still on my mind. The scene with Abby is still on my mind. I keep thinking about what happened. Ginny & Georgia is a show. This was something else. It was, like something was trying to tell me something. I do not know what to do. I just know I am scared.
