Upside Down In The Middle Of Nowhere Novels & Stories

I couldn’t breathe on witnessing the sight. But something tugged on my leg and I screamed as I was suddenly pulled up by the rope. In a second, my body was dangling in mid-air, upside down. Everything looked inverted and my head spun. Bile rose in my throat and I suppressed the urge to puke. “Avery,” the voice spoke in my ears again and then it was all silent. I was left dangling in the air, a tree holding me with its branches upside down and my body felt like it was on fire, heating up from the insides like lava. I didn’t know where Dominic was and I knew I shouldn’t have allowed him to come with me, but he wouldn’t have let me step into this realm alone either.

The dull throb in my head intensified as I winced, attempting to make sense of my surroundings. A pungent, foul stench hung heavily in the air, assaulting my senses. The realization struck me like a bolt of lightning—I was bound to something rigid, imprisoned within this grim atmosphere.

Yet, one person was conspicuously absent—Zero.

Naomi's POV For more than five minutes, I was hanging upside down like a bat, thanks to my dress which was caught in the truck, otherwise, I would have broken a bone or two.

This went one for a while until I saw a heavy fruit had been suspended in the tree, making its way downwards.

In the dead of night, Millie found herself tied to a chair in an unfamiliar, rundown abandoned building. As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw an endless field of debris beneath her, with her chair dangling precariously in midair. Millie wanted to scream, but her mouth was gagged. Looking around, she noticed that the building was just a framework. There was nothing else intact. The full moon hung in the sky, and the wind howled, causing Millie's heart to sink to her stomach.

You have a GUN! I bit my lip and looked away, trying to figure out if I could tuck and roll out of a moving vehicle. Probably not in these shoes. The car suddenly came to a stop. I looked around.

He's going to drown me in the river. Or shoot me and dump my body in the river.

The metal bit into my palms. Through the gaping hole in the world, I saw the storm clouds ten thousand feet below. And on the edge of the precipice, swaying in the wind, stood Neoma. She was alone. She was empty. She was burning.

"Even if I have to turn the entire globe upside down, even if I have to chain you up, I will bring you back to my side." "Even if we have to torture each other for the rest of our lives, don't you dare think about getting rid of me." Thirty thousand feet in the air, a sudden chill ran down my spine. Looking out at the pitch-black night, I didn't know that the story I thought was over had only just begun.

Skye I watch them drive away. Watch the taillights disappear around a curve in the road. Watch until there's nothing left but empty highway and falling snow. The silence is deafening. I wrap my arms around myself, turning to look at the broken SUV behind me. At least it'll provide some shelter if—when—the storm hits. I pull out my phone. No signal. Of course not. We're in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains that block everything. The wind picks up, colder now. More insistent.

I slumped against the headrest, utterly drained, as my eyes drifted shut and a deep, suffocating void pulled me under. ____________ We were in the middle of nowhere, trapped at the mercy of a furious gale. The wind beat at us relentlessly, pelting our faces with stinging sand and pebbles. I struggled to maintain my balance, forcing myself forward against the invisible wall of the storm. "Hold on!" I bellowed to Kaida, trudging through the debris to reach her. She was taking the brunt of the impact, her slight frame no match for the wind's raw power. She was barely anchored, teetering on the edge of a gaping abyss that lay directly behind her.
