Nightmare

Elizabeth

I clock out of work after a long day with annoying people, around 11 pm and walk home on the cold dark winter night with out any events.
The rest of my night consists of me watching markiplier and eating ramen, hey I'm poor leave me alone.
But I can feel eyes on me.
It's a very unsettling feeling. Because I'm not totally convinced it's my paranoia I close my blinds and curtains and call it a night so I don't freak myself out even more like I usually do when I get this horrible feeling .
Before I head off to bed I look around my small shabby apartment and think to myself 'is this really all my life is?' But this is all I can afford at the moment so I'll live with it.
Just until I can find something better. I shake my head and get changed into some more comfortable clothing for bed and clime in to my warm covers ready to call today yesterday.I sighed thinking about all the work I have to do tomorrow and the rest of this week I always stress over these things. But my thoughts were cut off by the sound of glass shattering. Shit. Nooooo I can not get murdered! Do you know how much a  funeral cost?!

Through my paranoid trip around the house I stupidly forgot to lock the front door.
Damn it! I did my best not to shake and got out of bed while grabbing a bat I had near my bed and heading to my bedroom door, due to me living in the city by myself. But my stupid butter fingers dropped the damn bat making a loud clump and my heart sank. I heard shuffling around outside and my heart skipped a beat well my hearts doing a lot right now, I guess if this person doesn't kill my ill die of a heart attack. I meant ally cursed myself for my blunder that could now cause me my life. Never having kids or a family because I dropped a bat.
I heard loud heavy footsteps come toward my door and all the brutal thoughts of what he could do to me rushed through my head all at once.
I was completely paralyzed in fear and I was rendered useless in this situation of any chance at saving myself. This is literally my nightmare. The door to my small bed room swung open and a man with a gun pointed at me stood there with a shadow over his face so I couldn't see him.

"Get on your knees and put your hands behind your back. And don't try anything or I will shoot you." He snapped and I did as I was told to avoid getting shot in the head. He then paced a cloth over my mouth obviously covered in toxic liquid AkA chloroform that made me pass out automatically.
The last thing I remember is getting thrown over his shoulder. And his heavy footsteps in a pattern as I faded.
And it all faded to black.
Am I going to die?
