What if you have a dream so vivid that you could still remember the smell of how the air outside, and the sound of the settling raindrops dripping off the roof? I guess it would make sense when the dream is actually a nightmare you can't beat. Though this was not just any nightmare, but it was a reality as well. To have a dream so intense that it leaves a residue of memories that no matter how hard you try, you can't force them out is terrifying. Terrifying, because instead of an ordinary dream this was also the life of a boy years ago. He shared his reality with me so now I'm going to share it with you.

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
