" I was walking the faded tiles of a gameboard path. The path had twists and turns. The tiles were as follows: green, purple, blue,red, yellow, then green again, and so on. Along the tiles were graveyards and trees.

The shadows were dark behind and around all the graves and trees. the sky was dark except for the bright full moon shing millions of miles away. It was peaceful for me, i had always loved the night.

i stopped on the path by a big oak tree, that was a few feet off to my right.I looked up at the moon. then out of the shadows, came the shadow of a man. It was you, i just knew it was you! You started walking towards me. 

I started to step off the path to meet you half-way. " No," you cried. "I will come to you, stay where you are." I stopped and steped back onto the path. I waited, you started walking,slowly, towards me again. 

The out of the darkness came a black hole. i opened my mouth to shout a warning, but it was to late. The hole grew bigger and swallowed you. i dropped to my knees, kneeling on the faded game board tiles. The atmosphere was quiet. i started to cry, long, body shaking, sobes. I grabbed the knife i always kept in my back pocket and..."

I woke with a start. That dream, the same dream i had been having for weeks now. the dream that leaves me shaking with fear for the man that get swallowed by the black hole. The man ive neer met before. 

I lay in bed a few moments more then jump p and head to the bathroom. I shower and take time drying my hair to go to school. i apply my makeup. Then i dress in a solid black v-neck tee, and my black american eagle skinnies, with the boots that come up to my knees with a slight heel. 

I walk down stairs. Its 8 pm and im going to school. While walking i continue thinking about the dream. Who was that strange man? why do i think i love him? What was up with that black hole? thats strange even for me. 

I sighed as i sat down at the kitchen table to eat breakfast. I ate then walk out to my grage. There was my car. It is a 2011 chevy camarrow. It is black, the paint, the seats, even the windows are tinted dark. I hopped in and turned up the radio and drove to school.
