When I looked around, my room was dark. The only thing illuminating it was the dim light from the street lamp coming through my window. I got out of bed and turned on the light in my room. Then I checked the time on my phone; it was the middle of the night. I felt sleepy and thirsty. I left my room and went to the bathroom to drink some water. When I re-entered my room, I saw a silhouette larger than a cat above my door in the mirror. Its red eyes were focused on me. As I turned around in shock, it suddenly lunged at my face before I could comprehend what was happening.
I panicked and opened my mouth to scream for help, but it tried to push its way in. The only sound I could make was muffled, unintelligible cries for help. I struggled to get it off my face, but it was stronger than me, slowly making its way inside my mouth.
Before long, my head started to spin, and I felt incredibly weak. As my vision began to blur, I felt myself falling to the ground. With the pain of falling, I briefly regained my senses and saw a blue light. The light was so blinding that I couldn't look at it for long.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a forest. At first, I thought it was another one of those realistic dreams I often experienced, so I pinched myself, but it hurt. I was panicking. So, this wasn't a dream? Was I really alone in the forest? How did I get here, and how could I get back home? A flood of questions rushed through my mind, but I couldn't answer any of them. What was I supposed to do now?
After a while, I calmed down and decided to seek help. As I looked around, all I saw were trees and other plants. There was nothing else. Desperately glancing up at the sky, I noticed smoke rising in the distance.
Hope began to form within me, and I ran towards it, but as I got closer, the smoke increased, choking my lungs and causing tears to stream from my eyes. The smell of burning prevented me from taking a deep breath.
Before long, I found the source of the smoke. It was a massive wreck; the debris had been dragged for meters and buried several feet in the ground, but it was still intact. Scattered around the wreck were many pieces of trees, all of which had been shattered and thrown about. Some were even on fire.
Was this a plane wreck? But it looked thicker and larger than any plane. I had never flown in an airplane; I hadn't even been near one. But I was sure it didn't resemble a plane. I didn't know what the wreckage was, but I hoped there was someone inside who could help me.
I approached the wreckage slowly. The air was hot and suffocating, yet I managed to find an opening in the wreck and went inside. At first, all I saw were hanging wires, some even sparking. I lost my way in the dark and searched for an exit for a while. Soon, I saw a light and quickly moved toward it. When I emerged, I realized I was in a room inside the wreck. I looked around.
The light in the room flickered frequently, so at first, I couldn't figure out where I was. But as my eyes adjusted, I realized it was a simple and small bedroom. Just as I was about to step out of the room, I noticed blood on the floor. It looked like someone had been dragged away, leaving trails behind. My hair stood on end, and I wanted to get out of the wreck as soon as possible. But before long, I calmed down and decided that this might be a bad idea. If someone was still alive, they might need help. I didn't know how to help, but I didn't want to give up without trying.
I quietly followed the trail of blood. I was scared of what else might be here, worried that a monster might jump out and attack me. Didn't things like that always happen in movies? Well, those things happened in movies, but this was real life. I was sure nothing like that would happen. I stopped thinking and continued to follow the blood trail. Unbeknownst to me, I had reached an intersection in the corridor, and the blood trail was moving to the right. When I turned right, I froze in fear.
All the blood trails came from a creature I had never seen in my life. It had a humanoid body; a long tail, a lizard-like face, and a mouth. Its skin color was a mix of brown and golden yellow. Its green eyes widened in fear when they saw me and it tried to back away, but a piece of metal stuck in its leg wouldn't let it.
