Nightmares.

    Its happening again. This time it is different, although it is all the same. Still not willing to play nice. Just thinking about what is going to happen this time. It makes your whole body shiver, you can feel the cold sweat building within you.It's got you pinned.

   No where to run and theres no where to hide. Wishing this can't be real. Somehow you know it is. When comes the part where you wake up, can you move on from these memories?

Dream:

    It was pitch black, I could hear the screams all around me, beside me, and within me. I was running the reason I did not know. Something was telling me to never look back and to never stop running.

   The screams were getting more quiet, the more I ran. Can I take that as being safe? I couldn't take it anymore, I'll stop for maybe a couple of seconds.

    It seemed safe to do so. I take the time to look around. What a bad decision that was, There is piles beyond piles of lifeless bodies around me. How the hell did I get here? Puddles of blood where ever I looked. 

     No more screams just the eerie silence of death. The darkness is taking over again. I feel myself slip, I do not stop. I don't know when I'll drop but i will hope someone or something is there to come to my rescue.

    I fell for what seemed like forever. I finally hit the cold hard ground. My body does not move I feel completely paralyzed. Theres this laughter around no way to tell which way it is coming from. The sound it makes does not seem pleasant.

    I reach to cover my ears I find i still cannot move. It is getting closer and louder I can tell it is near. Moving slowly the dark figure reaches my side, Its not here to help. Standing over me now, I still cannot move there is nothing I can do.

    I have to wait for what is going to come next. I can tell you this though. Through the dark hooded masked man. I can see the evil in his eyes. As he reaches to his back I stay helplessly hoping this all goes away. The faint light is flickering off the sharp shining blade he is now holding in his sickining hands.  

     Slowly he brings it down has his laughing continues I count down the seconds until he takes away my life. He comes to a stop just a couple cenimeteres away from my chest. He bends down and leans in to whisper in my ear.

"To me this is all a game, but what is it to you?"

                 As I shoot straight up out of bed, breathing heavily. Scared of what I just saw. I am wondering what it all means. Like who the man was, why he left me there to live and not kill me like the rest of them. Why didn't he add me to the piles of bodies, and puddles of blood that were everywhere. What did he say when it was just a game? These are all the questions that I must find the answers to. Although I think I'm looking in a world that can answer none of them at all.
