The atmosphere was covered in black.
Running through a forest, trying to find light.
All the sudden i felt a set of strong arms wrap around me and pull me away.
Away from where, i don't know.

*end of dream*

My alarm clock rings through my room, the annoying sound bouncing off the walls.
Dreading the last bit of packing i have to do, i roll out of bed, shutting the alarm off in the process.
My flights in 4 hours.
That leaves me enough time to pack and get ready.
Today was the day.
My first job opportunity in a huge city.

Growing up in a small town, i never had to deal with many people.
Unfortunately, i knew that was about to change.

I grabbed a empty box and packed up the last little bit of my things, leaving only my outfit for today out.

*Time skip*

I slept most the flight.
Jamming in the backseat of my uber, my phone buzzes.
It was from the publishing company confirming our meeting for next week
My heart skipped a beat just at the thought of the world reading my work.
Writing is my way of escaping reality.

Deep in thought, i almost didn't hear the uber man telling me we had arrived.
i said a quick thank you and goodbye before hurring inside.
I couldn't wait to decorate the plain white walls in lights and artwork.
The apartment was small but perfect, since i'd be living alone.

I started upacking.
Organizing some stuff here and their, but mostly making my apartment look like one giant clutter.
At this point, exhausted was a understatement.
I picked out a pair of fresh sweatpants and a black crop top from the half decent pile of mess in my room before changing.
I wondered if i was going to have the same dream as last night or the night before.
It's been about a week since it started.
The same dream everynight, but i somehow always wake up before i can see who grabbed me.
My thoughts were interupted at the feeling of someone watching me.
I checked the whole place, but no one was their.
laughing at myself, i walk back into my room, flopping onto my bed.
"i think im going crazy." I thought to myself.
I was soon asleep, falling back into the same dream again....
