Short Horror Stories

Reality?

I have these recurring nightmares, where I stand alone in the darkness, surrounded by monsters.
They talk to me and I try not to listen; I cover my ears. They hurt me and they want to rip me apart, but I always wake up, covered in sweat.

I keep on going with my days, hang out with my family and go back to bed, only to have these nightmares again. Every time is worse than the last one, bruises, bites, scratches mark my body.
Tonight I have a missing leg, it hurts so bad and there was blood everywhere.
One of the monsters came to me, it held my hands down while I screamed, "I want to wake up from this nightmare!"

Only then it said...

"Oh! Boy, but you were just dreaming and now you're really awake"
