It was late and I was still on my phone, running through Instagram, till I heard a shift on the floor. My head shot up. Nothing. Probably someone walking through the halls. I thought to myself. Another shuffle. This time, I heard metal. I jumped down from my bed to go see what it was until, "OW YOU MOTHER... UGHHHH!!! " I squeeled. I HAD JUST STEPPED ON A NAIL! But how did it get there? Last thing I remember was putting the nails and hammer to the side, along with the crate,which was on the other side of the room. Whatever, that was the least of my worries. I fell back onto the bed to look at my foot where the nail was buried. Blood streamed from my foot, flooding the wooden floor.

I couldn't stand the sight of blood! I got up to hop on one foot to the bathroom, but as soon as I reached at least 2 feet away from my bed, everything went dark.

I woke up in my mom and dads' room, where I was rested on their bed. I felt pressure on my foot and looked down only to see a bandage sealed around the wound. What about the nail?

"Alexa you're up" said a smiling face headed towards me. It was my mom carrying my dinner. I was at least 12:00am, midnight. "Thanks, " I said as she handed my food over.

"You're welcome sweetheart. How's it feel?" I looked down to realize she was talking about my foot. "Oh, it hurts like crazy." Not only that, but it BURNED LIKE HELL.

One hour passed and my mom and dad helped me to my bed, kissed me goodnight, and went to kiss my other siblings. I was really tired. My eye lids began to feel heavy, so I shut then and was out like a light.

I hit the ground. This place seemed familiar. It was my room. Why was I here? The faces that burned were stained into my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about it. My foot ached as I walked. I suddenly reached the hammer and crate and picked up the wooden pieces, sitting down. I first ran my hand down the fine print on the bottom of the crate, then picked up the hammer. I raised it, aiming for the wood, then...

"AHHHHHHH!!!! " I screamed to the top of my lungs. I bled. Bled like crazy. The bones in my hand felt like they were crushed. My skin stinged from the hammer that collided with it. I found myself laying on the floor with the price of wood in one hand and the hammer in the other. Everything was the same as in my dream, but the box was flipped over, to where u couldn't see the print inside.

My parents and sister rushed in, helping me up. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" my mom cried. I just stared, dizzy from the pain.

What just happened. Was I dreaming, or was this all an illusion?
