Preface: Hello! This short story is based on a nightmare I had back in late 2017 or early 2018. I have a lot of nightmares and my goal is to write spooky shorts based on them. This is the first one I am ready to share. Enjoy!

-The world is dark, everything is dark except the faint glow of the dashboard.
-We take a sharp left and my arm presses against the side of the door.
-The faint sound of the radio playing, light breathing, and the quiet rumbling of the tires is the only thing I hear.
-The breathing is mine, because I am alone.
-I chose to do this alone.
-Do what you may wonder? Well, let me start at the beginning.
---
-It all with started white. White is the only thing that surrounded me. However, when you're lying in the snow, staring up at the overcast sky, it makes more sense.
-These were the times where I could just feel normal but soon, everything would change.
-Have you ever been wanted before?
-No, not wanted by your significant other or by your family. I'm talking about wanted by what one can only assume to be the enemy.
-The enemy for me?
-Well, I don't actually know. I guess I did something wrong to deserve this though.
---
-I was walking down the road towards my house, it was probably mid-afternoon so the sun was beginning to set.
-The sun sets quite early in the winter up here, but I don't mind.
-I listen to everything around me, and I feel a chill. Maybe it's paranoia? In some cases these feelings have saved me.
-I hear tires spin out, and at first I was accounting for the icy roads but then I hear the sound of a car pulling up behind me.
-I decided to look over my shoulder.
-There was nothing, nothing but the snow falling around me.
---
-At my front door, I dig for my keys in my coat pocket.
-I hear something moving around, but I can't pin-point where from. I choose to ignore that.
-I unlocked the door, walked inside, and go to remove my jacket.
-Why didn't you run - my brain screams at me. Wait, why am I thinking this?
-I look up, two people are standing in my kitchen.
-"What the...?"
---
-Everything is dark.
-I feel constricted.
-My wrists are bound but I can't see what by.
-I hear talking in the distance.
-They are coming back for me.
-What do they want?
---
-I scream in pain, I can feel it underneath my skin.
-The needle was huge, yet what was injected feels so small.
-I am stumbling now as they lead me somewhere.
