It's been 4 months now since I got this job at this pizza place I make the pizza roll out the dough and put the toppings on it but I didn't attend for such a nerve-wracking horrible ringtone for their phone everyday non-stop the same ring plays and when it plays I know for sure a order for Pizza is coming that ring is so bad that I even hear it in my sleep.

I work almost everyday 5 to 10:00 or 9:00 in the night with hardly any brakes as soon as I think I have a break I hear the phone ring and I want to cry cuz sure enough here comes one of my coworkers back with an order for Pizza the middle of me talking to my therapist I hear the same ring that I hear at my work " sorry but that means our time is up and it's time for you to go to work " Said my therapist but I don't want to go to work I yelled running.

As I was running outside the world started to change from our world to a weird food world biome we once had was changed to dessert biomes dinner biomes, or fast food biomes and guess what I was standing in a pizza town in one of the many fast food biomes as I ran I kept hearing the ring for my work I heard it so much I wanted to cry I kept running and running into eventually the ground just caved in and I awoke in a Giant mountain of shredded cheese on top of a giant pizza.

As I looked around it was a giant version of my work and I was on top of a giant pizza I can still hear that horrible ringing but the difference was every time a ring happened a order ticket flew above my head every ring a new ticket would come ring a ticket then finally I felt the ground shake and here's a giant thump and I saw a Giant Shadow go over the pizza I was sitting on.

Then without even realizing it I got squished into the shredded cheese as it got spread around the pizza and I couldn't get off in time I got put in the oven I started to scream in pain as my skin started to melt off my bones and I started to bake into the pizza then out of nowhere I jumped up and I was in my bed now pajamas in the middle of the night scared to death. It's just another nightmare I said but I would do anything to make these nightmares stop I can't go into college like this I laid back down but all I could do is toss and turn.

Later that day I had to knock at the door I looked through the peep hole but I didn't recognize who that person was some old man in robes and some tiny looking stick he didn't look like he could harm me though so I let him in you sit down on my couch and just like that I screwed myself over"I know about your little nightmare problem and I could fix it for you"the old man said how do I know I can trust you I asked him I just met you and your asking to help me " trust me I've known you and you've known me before you just don't remember it and you best let me help you I'm the only hope"

What are you talking about I asked him scared and worried" I'm not supposed to tell people this but since you won't remember I'll tell you anyway" the old man continued" whenever a child or a adult has nightmares that keeps them up at night they can't get rid of them on their own so someone like me comes in to get rid of them I'm what's called The nightmare killer I come in to kill the nightmares and trust me your nightmares need to be killed been here to help you before but we're trying to raise your memory it's like we do if everyone else".

I guess it can't hurt I'm willing to do anything to get this nightmare out of me"okay first you need to lay down close your eyes like your going to sleep and once you're like that I can use my wand to fight your nightmares or are afraid it so you can understand to help you fight your nightmares it'll be a little explanation once you get in there"wait what do you mean get in ther... I said as I disappeared off that couch nowhere to be seen the only one left in my house was that old man.

When I woke it was a nightmare I was laying in the alleyway but it smelled tasty and smelled familiar I jumped up screaming cuz I was in my nightmare trapped in a Giant Pizza City of the fast food biome I didn't know how to get out and how I even got in here and the explanation that the old man was talking about finally popped up and what it said terrified me to my core.
