NIGHTMARE

Shadows creep in the corners as I walk. The cold night air slithers against my skin making a shiver go down my spine. I feel eyes on me even though I know I'm supposed to be alone, icy cold hands suddenly grab my arms making me cry out in pain and in fear. I feel fingers slowly scrape against my skin as the shadow that has grabbed me pulls me closer. My body trembles with fear as it's cold breath passes over my cheek mockingly. I keep my eyes closed for fear that if I open them I might collapse in shock as to what I see. I hold my breath waiting for death or for more fear to drown me but all I feel Is a hollow emptiness inside me. The cold fingers vanish from my skin. No cold breath mocks my warm skin anymore and as I open my eyes, I find myself in my bed, a thin layer of sweat covering my skin. Taking a slow deep breath I realize that it was all just a nightmare. With that, I close my eyes again only to be drowned by darkness once more.
