Been sleeping through evening... Well, bad decision. Dreaming about walking through unnaturally dark neighboorhood street, the street near my house. Foggy night, closed store, unlit houses' lamps, street lamp glowing yellow dimly in the fog... Well there's this little kid in front of me who look no older than ten. They walk faster and half running as i thought they heard my foot steps, probably thinking i'm some suspicious or dangerous person, maybe both. I try to calling out to them, afraid that the kid would stumble and fall when they run mindlessly. Trying to make them less scared, i walk faster to catch up with the kid, asking why they're alone, trying to tell them i'm not trying to hurt them. Well... Logically speaking, if the situation reverse and someone walk behind me in that kind of unsettling environment i won't even dare to slowing down, but in that situation i just thought that it would be scarier if i walk slowly and silently behind the kid, total creep stalker action. Then i did catch up with the kid... They look up to me with...well not the expected scared expression... Because i'm the one being scared. I jump two step back and muttering prayers, anything i can think of, because the kid... well visibly wasn't human. They stare at me as i run pass them to reach the main street, with crowd gather around and brightly lit stores. I look back towards the foggy street i came from. Still foggy, still dark and unsettling, and... No one in sight. They're not there anymore. I try to shake off the clinging unsettling feeling as i enter some mini market, but i still can't get over it. Even on my walk home through different way than the previous street. Something still felt so wrong.
