Chapter 60:Nightmares…

Voices, and the screams of people I don't know echo in my mind.

Something is haunting me, taunting my very being but I'm not sure what it is. What it's trying to be. Is it a warning or something of torture?

The nerve racking guilt, piercing nails scraping against my door. Yelling for me to open it up, "🅻🅴🆃 🆄🆂 🅸🅽." They say, over and over again. As I lay in my bed, hoping the door won't open. That the face of pure void doesn't invade my space again.

Taking over every inch of my brown skin and turning me into something else, something like IT. Something empty that doesn't have any feeling or heart. Only a frown larger than a bus and wider than the grandest of canyons.

It stalks, standing tall waiting for me. Just to slip up one time so I can be pulled into its crushing arms.

Squeezed with every sense of dread that my mind pours through, only to release when my eyes would roll back. When I would, "Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ."

Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ

"🅽🅾🆆 🆅🅸🅲🆃🅾🆁🅸🅰 🅾🆁 🆈🅾🆄 🆆🅸🅻🅻 🅼🅸🆂🆂 🆈🅾🆄🆁 🅲🅷🅰🅽🅲🅴." I feel a long hand outstretch itself around my round face and I can't move. My body is numb but my heart quickens afraid, "Wₐₖₑ ᵤₚ, yₒᵤ dₒₙ'ₜ wₐₙₜ ₜₒ dᵢₛₐₚₚₒᵢₙₜ ₕₑᵣ, ₜᵢₘₑ ᵢₛ ₜᵢcₖᵢₙg."

What does that mean I don't- *tick, tick, tick*

Something crawls across my face, of multiple legs and layers, little critters pouring making me want to scream. *Tick, tick, tick*

They muffle my lips and cover my eyes, I have to silently scream….

*tick,tick,tick*

Wait…What time is it?
