Freakshow Vol 1

Dessert: The Author's Nightmare

This is not a fake story, this was a real nightmare I had a week ago and it's about a close friend of mine, this story is dedicated to Naomi. When I put **on a word this is because I had no idea what it was at the time, but I think you can piece if together.

I woke up in a dark and musky warehouse with chains having from the empty abyss above me, the sounds of the water dripping, heavy footsteps, my staggered breathing, and my footsteps filled the warehouse. The walls were a deep gray colour and covered in a dried dark red *paint*, the floor had a thick black line painting a direction but it wasn't dry "paint". I walked on the line and got my shoes dirty but I didn't care I just wanted to get out of this place, as I kept walking I kept hearing loud rapid tapping on the ground and they kept getting louder and louder, I found a place to hide but I didn't see what was making the noises. As I got up from my hiding spot I saw my friend Naomi standing there, I walked to her and turned her around, her eyes were sewn shut and could only speak.
"Liam," she asked crying. "Where are we, I'm scared and I can't see!"
"Hey," I spoke to her. "It's okay, I'm here it's going to be okay!" I hugged her but something was off, she was cold to the touch and her dark curly hair had fingers in it. I recoiled and pushed her away, she forcefully opened her eyes and thick black liquid started pouring out, her mouth unhinged and spider legs came out, her hair revealed hands too many to count. I turned foot and ran from her, she was as fast as me and slowly catching up, the hallways would seem to get longer and longer with every time I planted my foot to kick off again.
"Come here Liam," *Naomi* would shout at me. "I just want to end you can you've been a shitty friend to me since we met!" I would keep running and say nothing. "LIAM! You've been nothing but a traitor and hurtful to me!" I would start to cry from what she was saying about me, a friend I knew for so long start to become hurtful. "Look, Liam, it's okay to kill yourself because no one is going to care for you. You can't get a girlfriend anyways!" I began to slow down and go into a run, my breathing sharpened and I could feel my heart beating rapidly in my ears, I feel into a poor of water. I saw the monster follow me in and I swam for the edge of the pool, but the pool would get longer and longer, then the monster grabbed me by the leg and pulled me close. Her mouth opened bigger and more legs pierced my chest, blood came from my mouth and I looked at this monster, her big blank white eyes just watched as she began to pull me into her mouth. I lifted my arms to shield myself but she broke them with her hair hands, my vision faded to black and I woke up in my bed. I looked around to see I was in my room, I looked to my left side to see my cat sleeping there and leaned over to kiss her head, I wiped my eyes clean from anything and told Naomi this story. This nightmare is one of many I had about my friends, sadly this is the worst one, I just had to share to many other people because I don't want to have it be exclusively to my friends. Please take care of your mental health and friends can help with that and same goes with a therapist, there are many people that can help you!
