Dreams & Nightmares

Nightmare One - The Old Mall

It all felt as if it was deja vu. I was at a large mall with my family and my ex, Carter. We weren't the only ones inside the abandoned mall, as we were looking for nice clothing for a celebration. Together, everyome searched the racks for clothing, all of it being free. The pale gray walls gave the room am enclosed, cramped feeling to me. Everybody else seemed just fine though, happy actually for a change. One by one, everybody found their outfits and headed to the main hall where the ceiling lay high with the pale light casting down on people dancing joyously. I glanced at the full lengthed mirror at myself in a simple, but pretty, short white wedding dress. I slipped into white flats and headed outside, my hair fixed in a behive already. As I came outside into the hall, I saw Carter across the room fitted in a black tuxedo suit with a plastic white rose slipped in his jacket's pocket. Everyone was dancing in the hall with low light, dancing to the edges and stopping completely. They formed a space in the center of the hall, sta ding in the edges of the area as they gazed upon us two. Carter steided to the center as did I and took my hand. Gently kissing the tip of my finger as a butterfly lands on a flower, he looked up and gazed into my eyes.

"May I have this dance?" he questioned, bowing before me as if I were a princess.

I laughed and nodded, feeling the jubilence of the crowd as he placed his pale, cold hands onto my hip and shoulder. I placed my hands around his neck, having some distance between us. We began a classic dance, left, right, left, right. We moved quickly and gracefully in our pattern around the room. Everything around me spun and soon became a blur. I started getting nausea and felt peril. A chill ran down my spine as goosebumps formed on my skin, the hairs on my neck standing on end. Watching everything spin and go out of focus, I feel my whole body go limp, soon becoming unconsious to the laughs and smiles of the onlookers. As I woke up, I was in a boiler room, the heat of the tanks around me making me drentch with sweat. I was tied to a chair, a peice of cloth firmly tied around my head to stop me from speaking well. The dark cement room was lit by only the ocassional flashes of red coming from the opperating table near me. I wiggled my hands, hearing the heavy clank of chains restraining me to the wooden chair. My feet too, were in these heavy chains. I tried wiggling free to no avail as in the dim red light, a masked man came up to me. Removing his mask, my ex lover I had just danced with stood their, his hacker mask cast aside into a trashcan.

"Had a fun night honey?" he stated, pulling my chin up to force a cold, dead stare into me.

I tried screaming, but the cloth didnt allow me too. I shook the chair violently, it's wooden frame creaking from the force of my panic. Chains clanked with each other and the concrete floor and I shook my hesd violently away from his touch.

"I'm afraid that's all I can play with you today. See You next time dear." He chimes in an evil tone as he walks away, his foot steps now loud and fading into the pitch black darkness.

The room continues to blink red as I await his next arrival, which may not end up being as pleasant as today's.

Author's note: This for example, was all based on my dream up to the point of getting knocked out my something. I added onto it to make more sense and added more detail of what I recall. This is whst I will be writing. Ive had 72ish dreams recorded, so even if I don't dream in a long time, I'll have content to edit and write. As for updates, I'll try keeping them up along with my other book as best as possible though I will be starting school on Monday again!
