I get up, groggy as usual as I look at the clock.

4:51 am

Nightmares seem to be keeping me awake, sadly I can't let that memory go as it haunts me for the rest of my life. I want to sleep again but I can't, not when I'm mentally distressed just by the nightmare alone. I open my drawer on my nightstand as I take out a horror, romance novel. It was one of my favorites since it comforts me with the characters being so cuddly with each other, especially the killer with the main character (SOUNDS PRETTY FUCKING FAMILIAR )

After that, the day went as normal as usual, brushed my teeth, made breakfast, pet my dog Bullet as my kitten Mittens is on my back, making claw marks again as usual. I sigh as I look at my phone to see a new text message from not too long ago, finally something entertaining for now to pass the time.

"Sooooooooooo how's the new town?"

Me
"Going pretty good, more calmer but there's a fucking prison near my house so it's a bit unnerving on the other hand."

Bestie bae <3
"Well sadly I have to go to work in a bit, ttyl! ❤️❤️"

Me
"Hopefully I'll call you later, ttyl!"

I look at my phone as she most likely is getting ready for work now, disappointed that the conversation didn't go longer, I get up and put my dishes in the sink to clean them later as I grab a ball, calling Bullet to the backyard so we can play fetch for a while for his daily exercise. He reminds me so much of my other dog but sadly he isn't coming back, not that I know of anymore ever since I saw him like.. that. After a moment of silence, I shrugged it off with shivers down my spine. I go ahead and slowly go to the shed and gingerly grab my watering can to water the flowers in the front yard.

Everything was normal till I see a weird ass woman walking around. "Great another weirdo" I thought to myself as I tried to ignore them. Sooner or later the 'weirdo' went close behind me, I immediately froze as my anxiety started to kick in. I feel their gaze upon me as I looked like a dear in headlights, dropping my watering can . "Is this how I die? In broad daylight?" I asked myself mentally. As I stood there like a statue, the woman leans in closer I now feel their raspy, hot breath on my skin. They grasped into my shoulder with their claw like hand, making me shiver more in fear, my eyes tearing up slightly. Suddenly, they wrap themselves around me like a snake with an unhinged smile. I glared at them with terror in my eyes, they saw my reaction to the situation as they retracted themself from me, staring me down once again but with a stone cold face. Before I can react, like a shot they grasped onto my wrist, dragging me around as they ask about what type of flowers are what in my garden.

"This is what I get for asking for something entertaining." I mumbled to myself.
