The only one.

I only ever get nightmares.

I never have dreams.

A pitch black room.. More like a hallway, but at that point who cares.

The only light is coming from a doorway that seems miles away.

I can't hear.. Its like a ringing noise.. I'm running but I don't know why.

My hearing slowly starts to come back..

I hear screaming... Its my brother.... Telling me to run.

I run faster but I don't understand why.

Then... I turn around..

And I regret it immediately.

As I turn around while running.. I see the most horrific thing I have ever seen..

Its body is bent and contorted. Its pale and has the body shape of a naked dog mixed with a human.

Its face is so gruesome. Its skin is melting off its face exposing the black bones underneath.

Its eyes.... What seems to be the most horrific is its eyes. Hollow, dead, black eyes. Like pits that could suck you up at any moment....

It gallops like a dog with a twisted paw. As fast as a cheetah it runs towards me.

I turn back around but the door isn't any closer than it was.

I run faster but the door seems further.

My brother screams louder for me to hurry..

I'm finally starting to get close to the door... Then.. I trip.

As I'm falling I reach less than a foot away..

But by the time I'm back up the beast is closer.

Less than six inches away it runs.

I reach the door but it is closing and my brother is waving goodbye with a sad smile on his face.

The beast leaps at me.

Just as the beast is about to end my existence...

The door fully closes. . and

I wake up..
