Charlie's eyes shot open, he looked down. In a single bed, he was in a cold sweat and heard a scream coming through the wall next to him. "Great, this shit again" Charlie thought to himself and sighed. Then a realisation struck him, he had never had his own thoughts in this dream before. He was lucid dreaming and knew there was more to this dream, and he was going to find out what before he woke up.
He clambered out of bed and then recognised that his arms and legs were normal sized, he wasn't the child in the dream, he was still in his present body. Charlie started to wonder if this was real life or just a similar dream that meant nothing, dreams don't usually mean things, do they? This did all feel a little too real to him and his mind began to race. A purple glow from the door leading into the hallway caught his eye, on top of that he was sure there was a low humming sound emitting from somewhere. He tried to think back if this was normal but he wasn't sure.
Charlie slowly inched his way towards the outlined door blocking the light, before he opened it he tried the light switch but nothing. The humming noise was louder and even a higher pitch this close to the door and Charlie's hands were shaking, he'd only just noticed it. The door handle was cold, icy even. The door squealed open causing his eerie presence to emit over the humming until the door slammed open so hard it flew off the hinges and Into, the void?
There were only patches of walls but the floor only had a few holes so Charlie advanced into whatever was left of the hallway. The purple light and humming grew stronger and he thought he could make out a figure of where the child's parent's door would've been. The only thing there now was void, emptiness but his gaze was quickly drawn away by the purple orb. The one that had been the ending of this dream every single time. "That's where the noise is coming from" Charlie told himself.
A boy lay beneath the orb and Charlie knew there and then exactly when he was, he was at the ending of his dream but not as the boy, but why? He got closer, but before he got too close he saw a body outlined in purple above the orb. It was a woman's body with long wavy hair but was cut at the waist by the orb. Charlie was petrified, he couldn't move and felt his face frozen in shock.
The woman turned to him and for a moment all noise stopped and the light reduced to a fraction of the brightness before. Her face was featureless and only a mouth was resembled, the outlined figure spoke. "You're dead?" The voice was both sincerely confused and concerned. Suddenly the humming returned and quickly escalated into a inhuman screech as the figure showed a face of pain, all as purple light consumed the room. The face was right next to Charlie's now even tho he hadn't seen it move, then everything went purple, then white, and finally, black.
