I went to bed with my mind clear and smile on my face, but what followed was something I could never imagine in my wildest nightmare.
I must be in deep sleep when my lucid dreaming began, it was a dark night and there was no moonlight to show me the way.

I was confused about my surroundings because I was in a strange place. Suddenly I felt dizzy and sat down to compose myself and get out of this crazy place.

As my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I sat down on the floor which was surprisingly soil something you can find in forested areas. I looked around and felt my surrounding with my hands and found a tree-like structure and rested my back against it.

I took deep breathes to calm myself and finally came to the conclusion that I was in a forest and I tried to find a way out. As I was moving I didn't see a rock lying in the path and tripped against it and out fell from my pocket an object. As I got up I grabbed it and checked what it was.

The object was nothing else but a torch, I felt for the on/off button and put it on. Now the path in front of me was illuminated and I could see a clear path in front of me surrounded by lush green, as tall as skyscrapers.

I kept walking for what feltlike close to an hour and I was growing tired. The path looked the same in which ever direction I moved and it was endless, yet I continued walk a bit more but the monotony and lack of defined route was driving me crazy.

I screamed loudly at the sky and sat down frustrated, then I saw a glow in the distance and I thought maybe someone was standing there and I started walking towards it, my spirits renewed.

After walking for sometime I noticed a peculiar thing,the more I walk towards it the farther the light appeared as if it was running away from me.

I quickened my pace and started sprinting so that whatever it was doesn't escape from my sights.

I reached the spot as the light was fading away and I saw a strange sight a black mass of moving clay like material suspended in the air. Just like the alien creature that created the anti-hero comic character venom or spiderman's black suit alien version.

As I reached the spot I saw it suck away the last glimmer of the light that I saw from the distance. "So you have arrived finally, I thought you will be lost
forever"

I looked around "who is it?" I shouted but there was no one and no answer for my question echoed back.
I was really creeped out by this point. I didn't know what was happening and it all seemed crazy. I lay my head in my palms and cursed myself.

"Don't worry you aren't crazy! I am the voice from beyond the void" the voice spoke again
I looked up and tried to focus at the source of the voice.
"Where are you?" I asked again.
"Right in front of you" the reply came and I realised what it meant. The black slime like thing that swallowed away the shining light like a black hole swallows a star was the one talking
