A LIFE-LONG DREAM

With a frozen and terrifying face, I stepped towards the scratching window. As I walk further, I felt the lifting and dropping of the floor and heard a creaking sound. My feet felt like blocks of stone, though I was moving but never getting anywhere. Shockingly, I felt some evil spirit lurking in the dread of darkness. The windows opened and swayed back and forth. I deadly scream but the scream sounds like a whisper. In the meantime, noises calm down and silence spread across the darkroom. When I got near the window, something scratch against my cold cheeks.

An ugly face watching me with multiple eyes while I was studying his monstrous features. The floppy white hair scattered across his black skin and wide opened mouth at the top of his face. He calls my name and smiled showing his sharp barbs which were sparkly in the moonlight. I asked ‘who is he and why he is here’ but he didn’t answer. Instead, the ghost told me that I was going to die soon and invited me for a dinner. Before I could say anything, the ghost rippled and broke into pieces. The pieces fade into the darkness. Puzzled and terrified, I tripped and fell back.

I opened my eyes with shaking and sweating in my bed. I sigh a big relief being awake from the weird dream. It didn’t bother me much until my second encounter with it. I was sitting in my school cafeteria, my friend came and told me the same dream that I saw a couple of months ago. From nowhere, the curiosity peeked into my mind, and my heartfelt a sudden terror while my mind started pondering the horror dream.
