Dream Journal

Nightmare.

 

 Loud beeping and people talking over each other filled the arcade. I stood next to my boyfriend, Jake, as we threw plastic balls at clowns. "I'll be right back." Jake said as he hurried away out of the arcade. I shrugged and continued to play. After a few minutes I felt uneasy and left the arcade to search for him. I walked down the long hall, squeezing past people. "Jake?" I yelled, ducking into a curtained off room. There stood a large man, his hand covering Jake's mouth. "Let him go!" I said, throwing myself towards the man. Growling, I pulled at his hair and clawed his arms. He let go of Jake and threw me at a wall, causing me to pass out.

 I woke up in a large room, chairs were scattered around, some filled and some empty. "Wha..?" I rubbed my head, standing up. As I blinked I noticed I was wearing goggles. "Ergh." I tried to pull them off, but to no avail. The people who were sitting seemed to be shaking, their eyes darting around nervously. "What happened?" I asked, giving up on removing the goggles. "Where's Jake?" I stepped towards them. They were also wearing goggles. I saw a flash and felt pain. "Ahh!" I yelled, collapsing on the floor. "Quiet!" The man who attacked me earlier yelled, looking around.

 "You people are part of my project. My project to rule the earth." He smirked, looking around at us. "Get up." He growled at me, kicking my stomach. "Agh!" I hissed, crawling to the nearest chair. I noticed the man had dried blood dripping down his arms, causing me to smile. *I woke up.*
