I scream and sit up in my bed. Another nightmare.
I look at the time but my clock has fallen on the ground, probably from me fidgeting in my sleep. I pick it up and it says 8am so I decide to get up because it's a Saturday. I always go out for a 5 mile run every morning so I get ready and head downstairs to get some breakfast and head out the door. I run down a path down the side of my house and turn left at the end. I run until I get to the lake and go around it twice. Then I run down my best friends road and carry on till the park. I jog through the park and run along the main road. I'm about to turn to head back home when I hear a deafening scream form the house on the corner. I jump and stop to stare at the house but most of the lights are off except for the top right room which I'm guessing was a bedroom I hear another scream but it's slightly quieter and a lot more high pitched than the first one, which I guessed was a woman's scream, but then I realise that it was a child's scream and then I hear a baby's cry. I remember the Coopers live here but I can't remember their names. I don't know what to do so I just run back home.
