This is mainly about some of the creepy nightmares and experienced that I've had through out my life that have really stuck with me.

Ruby wakes up in a cold, dark room. While she experiences past memories of her childhood, she will be left to wonder if what she is seeing is real and if death is only waiting around the corner.

On that fateful morning of January 14, 2014, the sky was ablaze with hues of pinks and purples as the sun peaked above the horizon. As the world stirred from their slumber, they were struck by a sense of unease and confusion. It was as if they had entered a dystopian reality overnight. Half of humanity had vanished without a trace, leaving behind empty beds, abandoned homes, and deserted streets. Panic and chaos ensued as governments desperately searched for answers, grasping at any possible explanation - chemical weapons, abductions, experiments, apocalypses. But as the day wore on, it became apparent that there was no concrete evidence to support these theories. The disappearance remained shrouded in mystery, leaving everyone with more questions than answers.

My eyes widened in complete terror as I let the scene before me, sink in. I realized my body was paralyzed. I forced myself to budge from the marble floor. Once I managed to move my frozen feet, my instincts kicked in and I wheeled around on the edge of my heels and started to run fast as lightning. When I dared to look back, I still felt the cryptic shadow, silently following my every move. I raced up on the flight of stairs and I jerked the door to my room open and slammed it shut. I panted hard and I felt a shiver run down my spine. Whatever that was, I knew it would never leave me alone for the rest of my life.
