I awoke in a creepy room that I had never been in before. It was unusually dark and I could barely see anything. My first reaction was to get out of there and quick, but the thing is I could not move a single muscle in my body. I started to panic and screamed as loud as I could; I was silenced. A tall disfigured shadow-like figure appeared. As soon as it appeared I could not talk, scream, or blink. I tried moving my eyes away from it or closing them, but I could not. It was as if it was controlling everything I could do. The figure was taller than any human, maybe around eight or nine foot tall, it was slim, dark, and plain out frightening. It began moving towards me, but extremely slow. I tried screaming again in hopes of someone hearing me; it did not work. The figure was almost right next to me when my eyesight began fading in and out. It was directly in my face when I blacked out. That is all I remembered before waking up in my bed, at home, safe, and secure. “It must have just been a very vivid nightmare,” I said to myself before falling back into the deep darkness called “sleep”, that I would soon figure out I would never escape. I wish I would have stayed awake. Would anything have gone differently or was I just destined to be in this place?
