Dream State

The Annihilator

It seemed like a regular day. I was sitting in my living room with my family. There was nothing in particular going on today.

But then we hear sirens in the distance. My neighborhood is a pretty good one so we don't hear the police that often. Though, today, we just shrug it off like nothing. Then the sirens get closer and closer, I decided to walk up to the window and take a look outside. A red glimmer and white smoke caught my eyes.

"OH MY GOD!" I yell out, "the house across the street is on fire!"

My parents rush over and I dial my phone to 911, but I see the fire trucks already rushing in to help. We watch as the fire grows into a strong uproar, and the firemen get people out of the house. But I notice something weird. Some of the fire doesn't look quite right, it's almost as if it was walking, like it had a mind of its own.

"THE ANNIHILATOR!" my mom screams out.

"the what?" I say as she rushes me into the middle of the house.

"if it doesn't notice us maybe it won't try to attack our house," she says.

I see the swirling body of fire moves towards the house next to us. I can here fire crackle. It runs behind our house and the siding catches fire. Smoke starts to fill the room.

It fires

"Heather! Get out of here! Run out the back get into the woods!!" My dad yells.

I ran. I ran far as the trees behind me flame like medieval torches. I see a woman up ahead, she's black with ash and her hair is burnt. I tell her to come with me-maybe there's a hope we'll live. We find five other people including my best friend. All of a sudden, though the white smoke has turned into a dense fog, we see a large house. We come up to the door and we knock and beg to come in. A man answers the door, and he invites us in. He ushers us to a hallway, but it is still in sight of the front door.

We see the fire demon come up to the same porch. Now it looks like he has some sort of a weapon- like it could get any worse. It fires the gun in our general direction, but instead of it shooting bullets, it fires a kind of fire laser. The kind that if hit anywhere on your body, you were turned to dust. He got four of the people that were with me. But not anyone I knew. It tried to come inside but the man who owned the house stood in front of it.

He said, "you're not allowed to come inside. That was the deal." The fire demon mumbled in some unintelligible language. The annihilator summoned a tornado.

"If I CANT GET YOU MYSELF YOU SHALL SUFFOCATE!" it said in a deep, resounding, ominous voice.

All the windows broke and I dared to stick my head out one. The house was thirty feet or more in the air. I quickly drew my head back. Everything stopped. Then we were falling. I felt as though I was weightless, and then there was black. I awoke to paramedics rushing about me.

"We got a live one here!" One of them said.

My head was throbbing and my vision was dark and blurry. A cop walked up to me and crouched down.

"what happened here?" He inquired.

My mind was clouded with the memories flooding back to me. "The annihilator! He tried to kill everyone! And..." I continued.

And my nightmarish-dream was over.
