My whole body was aching yet I chose not to stretch any of my body parts. Slowly I tried to get up but I could not move a muscle. Paralyzed and terrified I opened my eyes and stared at the pitch black darkness. Out of helplessness I did the only thing that I could think of. I squeezed my eyes shut and screamed in the highest pitch I could but I screamed in vain. I could not hear anything; nothing came out of my mouth, not even a squeak. My eyes flung open from the force I put on my throat and suddenly I was back in my room.
I get up immediately and find out that I am sweating. I rarely sweat so I get out of bed still dazed from the absolutely thrilling or rather frightening dream. As soon as I leave my room, the first thing I notice is the cool tiles under my burning hot feet. I look up to see the clock in the living room. I squint my eyes to see the time because it is still dark. It’s 5:15 am. My eyebrows shot up halfway up my forehead. It’s the earliest I’ve woken up this summer. I turn directly towards the kitchen door. I open the fridge, fish out a bottle of water and head back to my room. As I take the lid off and take a big gulp of the ice cold water, I look out of my massive window. I can see lights starting to flicker in some of the neighboring house. I can feel the cool liquid sliding down my sore throat just as a line of flashy trucks passed by on the main road. A cool thread of wind gushed in from my window and a shiver made its way up my body. I felt my mind slowly drifting into the nightmarish sights of my dream so I get up with a jolt to do some of my assignments which aren’t due till next week but I needed the distraction.
I sit on the dining table, where I usually settle down to do my work, with a stack of books and started reading the words on my book. I soon realize that I am blank reading and not registering of it in my mind. I couldn’t concentrate. I close my book and opened my notepad to write some notes. I make a few notes and the just stared at the words I had written down. Only two of the sentences made sense, the rest were merely a mixture of words even I didn’t understand.
I abruptly stood up from my chair. I hear the chair screech with the force on the floor. It sounded more like a scream, a very pitchy one. What is wrong with me? Images of my nightmare flash before my eyes like some kind of movie projection. A creepy feeling rises inside of me and another shudder makes its way up my spine.
‘Hey....’ I jumped at the sound of a grouchy and hoarse voice. With a hand on the left side of my chest, I slowly turn around to see my half-awake sister with messed up hair rubbing her right eye and yawning at the same time. She looks past like there is someone standing behind me. Her eyes widen and she says, ‘Aren’t you late for school?’ Without a word I rush towards the bathroom. I brush, comb, change and eat. I do all this in ten minutes, say my good byes and head towards the front. Right when I place my hand on the door knob, I see him on the dark door. Just like before like a movie projector, I see only half of his face the rest is hidden by a shadow, grinning from cheek to cheek. Nevertheless half of his grin is enough for me to be sure that it is not a genuine smile but a menacing one…
