10 minuets

I was taking a walk, unfortunately I got lost. Really lost. I found myself in a ghost town. It appears that this town was burned to the ground long ago. I decide to take a look around. As I start to walk into the ghost town a cold breeze blows in my face, almost as if it's warning me away. I ignore the wind and continue into the town. I go into what seemed to be the town square and see multiple skeletons. Yeah, this place was burned long ago. I notice the sun setting down. I need to find some shelter, even though it may not be comfortable. I look around, trying to find a place to sleep. Suddenly I feel a cold hand on my shoulder.

"Leave"

That's what the owner of the hand said. I quickly turn around and see the skeletons walking towards me all saying "Leave" pointing out of the town.

"W-why?" I ask. I get no answer, only them saying "Leave" again and again and again. I start to run out of the town. Once I exit it, flames burst up, engulfing the ghost town. I watching in horror as the town burns once more. I continue running and don't stop until I find myself back at my home town. I walk the rest of the way home, enter my house and go to sleep. All I saw and felt in my dreams that night was fire. Fire all around me, breathing it, completely unaware that that's was not a dream, but real life.
