The Stranger
“What? What happen? Where am I?”
I asked myself in fear while I looked around me. No one was there, in a cold weather I stood alone in the dark. Middle of the forest, I saw a light, it felt relief . I ran towards the light, unfortunately it gone out. Then, I stopped and focused on something in the dark.
“Hey, is somebody there? Can you help me? I’m lost.” No one answered my call. Weird. Suddenly, I saw a pair of eyes, they were red in colour and I was taken aback.
“What’s that?” I asked myself.
When I started to open my steps out of that place. That thing with it jaws, chased and snatched me. It was full with force of darkness in it. To survive, I struggled my way out of it sharp jaws and ran as hard as I can. There was blood all over my body, I hold my right arm tightly so I could stop it from flowing out my body continuously. I ran as fast as I could without looking behind me and I tried to face all the obstacles in front of me. At the end of the road, there was a cliff.
“Oh no! This is not the end. No! There’s maybe a way.” I looked around searching for a way anxiously. There’s no way for me to escape from this place than to face the beast by my own.
I turned back to face it. It was so fierce. So weird and challenging for me to face this kind of creature, it was just like a shadow in the dark.
“How can I fight it?” I asked myself. Then, before I ready for it. It pounced me in a flash.
“Arghhh!” I woke up with a panting breath. “Oh, it’s just a nightmare.” I felt very relief but I thought about it for a second, lately I always had a strange nightmares. All most every night, maybe it just an accident.
I looked around my room, just a square simple room with a cupboard on the edge of the room, my laptop was in it place on the desk where I did my work but it was opened. I thought I didn't even touch it.
“Never mind” said me, “Maybe I'll forget about it after this nightmare”. I went to the laptop and turn it off. Before that I looked at the clock beside my single bed.
“Hm… I’m late for work. It’s already nine o’clock, I better get ready.” Said me with a raspy voice.
I went to the bathroom to bathe. Not for long I took the towel and dry myself up. Then, I went to my cupboard and I got dressed for work with a pair of simple clothes. I went to the kitchen, I had a fresh milk for my drink and took my jacket beside the main door. Finally, I went out for work.
