It's a warm spring night, the moon brightly shining overhead. I find myself in a flowery field, full of flower species I can't identify clearly. The field seemed to be surrounded by tall dark trees and before me a chair made of thin and thick sticks sat right before me. 

I wonder how I ended up here, not knowing what or how I was set to a path here. Looking around I try to identify my surroundings to see if I can find a way back home, until I freeze and  immediately get goosebumps like something or someone was watching me. I look around again and see bright red eyes peeking through the trees and bushes. My breathing seemed to quicken as it looked to moves closer to me, I don't know what to do, all I can think is *run run, that thing will kill you! If it gets any closer* so I turn and run in a full sprint the other way. I don't stop, as I get hit and cut in the face with low hanging branches, till I somehow make it back home. Slamming the door behind me. "WHAT WAS THAT THING!....I could've...no no deep breaths, deep breaths Will deep breaths." I try to calm myself down by taking deep breaths and by taking a warm shower. As the water runs down my back I close my eyes breathing in, but as I close them I see those red eyes again, eyes that once looked full of hatred now looked peaceful and sad. I opened my eyes, confused by what I was thinking. *How can a monster look peaceful and of all things sad?! Really! Have I finally gone mad!??* 

Finishing my shower I wrap a towel around myself and look, in the mirror, at the cuts and bruises that I achieved from running through the trees, putting bands over most of the cuts. Then I head to my room. I quickly get changed and collapse onto my bed. I can't get the monster's eyes out of my head; thinking back to them, my mind seemed to change the look of the eyes and make them look more human in a strange way. "Oh God..*sighs* why am I thinking this way, that was a fucking monster there could be no human in those eyes not one bit...Ugh I just need to sleep that can at least help some how." So I use my blankets to turn myself into a human burrito and try to fall asleep. 

Falling asleep has never been a struggle before, but tonight was different. My mind was racing. All I could think about was those eyes..those eyes...
