Nightmares
I'm in my old room, my sister is trying to come in, but I locked myself in, to stay in peace. I'm writing in my old journal, something like ''I want to run away''. Then I stop writing as some ladybugs come in from the window. After few seconds my bed is totally red. I think it is a signal for me to go and I prepare. The radio is on and I'm listening some news. They say there is an invasion of ladybugs, and everyone feels compelled to leave. I think I'm not going to do what everyone is doing, so I decide to stay, but the ladybugs get angry at me and start to jump on me. I like ladybugs, but after a while I look at whatever insect I start to feel first repulsion, then panic. In fact I start to panic and I try driving them away with my hands. I'm not able and and when I look at my mirror, I don't see any insect on me, just my face and my body covered in blood and a paper knife in my hand. I wear just a short white t-shirt, but it is totally tore up and stained of blood. I'm scared my parents can see me like that and so i change my mind and decide to leave like everybody else. I look at the mirror again and I wear that white shirt, but cleaned, not anymore stained of blood. I feel relieved, but then mirror shows me someone is looking at me from the windowsill and I wake up frightened.
Here we go... it was a month without this nightmare showing up.... I'm ready for jogging. It's evening and, as I'm starting to run, I think I have to go faster, as that THING could find me. After a little while it starts to rain. It's a light rain, so I decide to go on. I'm going up a hill now, it rains stronger and I start to be scared as I feel something is following me. I can't see anything behind me, but I know IT hides itself behind trees and shadows. I'm totally soaked. I see a house and I think I would gain some time running through that house, so I step in through an open window. The room is a kind of Library, but as soon as my feet touch the ground, I notice it is flooded. The water reaches my knee and it's hard to run there. I think I can't die now, as I'm supposed to read all the books in that room. That though makes me stronger and I keep running. I keep opening doors and doors. The rooms are all the same, sort of Libraries, but every room is more flooded than the previous one. Now water reached my hips and there are some creatures swimming around me. Also I heard something stepped on from the window I came in, and I'm sure IT is closer now. I start to panic but I can't run faster, as water reduces my speed. Also there are those creatures, kind of alive seaweeds and big fishes, wrapping and brushing my legs. I'm horrorized every time they touch me, but finally I'm able to get out of that house through another window. It rains really strongly now, I can't see where I'm going, and that THING almost reached me. I feel IT one step behind me. I can't stop and I'm panicking more, and I feel IT is going to catch me. IT is a kind of enormous sheet. Floating in the air and trying to wrapping me. As soon as he gets closer, I feel IT touching my legs and arms, and every time it envelops me more. At the end IT is all around me. No rain anymore, but the wind blows between the sheet, preventing me to run without stumbling. There's nothing else than that sheet around me, IT slams and bangs and beats and flaps all around me. I feel frightful and run faster, but it is so awful and apaling and I'm so damn tired that all I want is surrender. I always wake up in the same way, sitting in my bed, totally sweat, with goosebumps, and with my hand on my heart pounding like crazy. I always wake up when I feel like surrender, but I never saw the end of the nightmare.
