My Nightmare

[MaxMike01]

As I open my eyes, I sit up and look around, only to find myself in a dark expanse, all alone and cold as darkness was around me, along with the sky. I had my arms wrap around my body for warmth and had I let out a loud shiver which echoed out. Where was I and why isn't it the happy dream I thought it's supposed to be? I decided to venture on forward in this expanse, only to find myself changing scenes to an open field, a meadow where it actually feels warm and the sky was blue with white clouds. I uncrossed my arms to look around and slowly venture through, eyeing the beautiful texture that I saw.

It was quiet where I was, and I thought it was all supposed to be a nightmare; I guess I was wrong after all, but that's when it hit me, and I feel a hard ache in my heart. I grabbed by chest and felt the throbbing pain in my chest as it felt like a spear going through it. I fell onto the ground, closing my eyes to only open them back to reality after going through a series of memories, bad memories. The pain was gone, but as I slowly got up, I looked around again and the one thing I noticed was in plain sight. The beautiful meadow I was in is now replaced with a dull hellhole of black and white colors, but I still had my colors.

I ventured through slowly, seeing how everything was burnt and how there was no color to be seen within miles, than I stopped as my eyes caught a crowd of people in the distance. As I squinted, I tried to get a better look and what I saw was a crowd of people which had my friends, my family and… my enemies? They looked angry from what I saw, and they were all coming after me, every single one of them. Without hesitation, I had to turn around, almost falling onto the ground, and break off into a run, racing through the damaged field in fear. What was going on and why is this all happening to me like this, but I think while I run only to come up with one thing.

Was it because the trouble I have caused over this amount of time? If so, I knew I had to find a way to escape it now, or else it would be too late for me to break free. As I run, I come to a halt and within my eyes; I saw a group of shadows that looked like people that were running towards me. I hesitated again and turned only to see the other group still running towards me, and as I looked left and right, I knew I was trapped, but this was my dream, right? With a close of my eyes, I opened them and faced forward to see steps to a spiral staircase leading up, but up to where?

With this advantage, I had no other choice but to run up those stairs as quickly as possible, not even daring to look back at the two groups of people that were after me. As I go up these endless steps, reaching up probably over 10 miles of steps, I was feeling tired and weak but still kept running, knowing that the groups were gone. I see a light at the end of these stairs and I reach my hand out towards the light, but I stopped as the remaining steps to the light just disappeared, and as they grew closer, the step under my feet disappeared and I found myself free falling from the sky. As I was falling, my eyes were closed and I saw all of these bad visions of what would happen if I wasn't there. I knew it was a nightmare, but it felt real though as I just watched my friends dealing with these events on which I wasn't there.

I felt a great pain in my heart as I started to cry, but no one didn't see me and no one would have cared. As I shot back to reality, I was still falling from the sky and I turned to face down, looking down as I grew closer to both groups, seeing your glares as they called out for me in anger and rage. For some reason, I smiled softly and dived down to you and I closed my eyes, feeling a silent tear escape as I was grabbed. I heard the yells and screams of anger from all of you, angered and raged as you all ganged up on me and beat me up like I was some sort of trash. That's when I knew my life ended in that nightmare of mine as someone, or something came and crushed my heart with something hard, my final heartbeat being the last from me.

And that was the last time you'll ever see, hear, smell, and taste or touch of me…
