The Nightmare

I was walking in the woods barefoot. I felt pain in my toe. When I looked at my right foot, I thought my toenail was broken, I was tired. My mouth was dry. I was famished. I did not know where I was. I take deep breaths. I also felt cold when I was looking around, but I could not see anything. It was dark out here. I was scared and did not know what to do. I was scared to scream. My memory was a little fuzzy.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky. There were thick trees all around. Nothing was visible till far away. There was silence everywhere.

The grass beneath my feet was wet. The ground beneath my feet was cold. I was shivering, and with this, I was feeling cold. I was having pain in my body. When I looked up, the trees were as tall as skyscrapers.

I was having pain in my feet. I walk straight for some time and then look back. I could not see anything because of the darkness. I had a severe headache. I start walking towards the front again. I do not remember anything. Who am I? I came to do what in the forest.

After walking for some time, I stand beneath the tree. I leaned back against the tree. I touch my head and feel the wound on my head. “How did this wound happen to my head? Has someone hit my head with something? I keep asking this question to myself” I spoke.

I put my hand on my head once again. The wound seemed very deep to me. I close my eyes and rest under the tree for some minutes. Afterward, I opened my eyes, and it was still dark. Now I was feeling pain in my forehead. Why don't I remember anything?

“What happened to me? What am I doing here, and how did I get here? “Ahh... my head hurts,” I complained to myself” I was mumbling like a crazy person. I feel pain when I touch my forehead, and when I look into my hand. It was blood on my hand. After that, I got scared. My hands start trembling after seeing blood.

Why... do I not remember? “Where am I?” I yelled.

Afterward, I stood up and started walking again without knowing my destination. I kept walking, but at one point I fell into a ditch. The ditch was filled with water. There was not much water in this. The ditch was not that deep. I was tired. I was sleepy. I wanted to find a soft bed and sleep. My hands and feet had become numb. I scream loudly after seeing myself so helpless.

I lay back on my back, staring at the sky. I was feeling cold. A cool breeze touches my body, which causes me to shiver. My clothes were covered with mud. I gazed at the trees and did not know when I would doze off.

“What is that place?” I was mumbling.

A while later, I woke up. I get to my feet. I look around but do not find anything. I slid away from the place where I fell. As I slid away, I happened to touch the item in the ditch. I did not look at it, but I could tell by the touch of my hand that it was round and when I looked at it. I got scared and tried to get up, but I was stuck.

I attempt to stand but fall back down. When I looked around, I saw bones, skulls, and skeletons around me. I screamed, got to my feet, and ran out of the ditch.

I started walking again. As I walked further, I saw that the bushes on my right were moving, and they were moving very fast. I tried to run, but I could not run fast because of my leg.

I start walking with a limp. I did not look back. I do not want to know what is in the bush. I noticed a rocky path in the middle of the woods. I started walking on this path. As I walked further, I sat on the ground. I started thinking about the ditch, which was filled with human bone. There were a lot of bones there...

“What was that place? Where am I? Is it a dream? It cannot be real. No, no, no, I was coming back from the cellar in the mountain. Jordan was with me. We snuck out of the house. He was with me. Why don’t I remember after I got home? Did Alberta and... What was her husband’s name? Did they kill the kid?” I spoke.

In the meantime, I hear the voice, which was coming from behind. They are screaming my name. I get to my feet because I thought that they are here to kill me. I start walking toward some nearby bushes. I hid behind them. I peer behind the bushes and see Alberta, Bethany, Elias, and Robert standing there.

They are talking to each other. Bethany was angry. She was upset. She was pacing.

You should not let him live. I told you he was not like other kids. “You should kill him,” Bethany says. “We warned you.”

Alberta walks up to her. She closes her hands. She makes a fist. He is my son. He will be fine. “I am not going to lose him,” Alberta says.

Like Luke, you said the same thing about him. Do you know what he did? I do not want to go through this again. We should end all this tonight. “To Alberta,” Bethany says.

No, he is my baby. “I never let you touch him,” Alberta yelled while grabbing Bathany’s hand.

I want you to talk to her. You are making a mistake. “You should consider it,” Bethany says to Robert.

Elias comes over to them. I am tired. Just let me finish the job. I did not sign up for this family drama. I want to go home and sleep in my comfortable bed.

He walks away from them. I am going to find him. Elias said. while walking to the bushes.

Do not hurt him. “I want him alive!” Robert yelled.

Fine. Bethany said.

I crouch away from them as I hear Elias moving toward the bushes. I stood up as I moved a little further away. Elias spotted me while I was fleeing and let everyone know. My limp made it difficult for me to run quickly. Everyone was rushing in my direction on the other side. The next instant, Elias comes up from behind and pushes me to the ground.

He then flips me over and takes a seat on my stomach. Elias becomes enraged as I strike him. Elias grabbed my head and slammed me into the ground. I grip my head, I shouted.

Alberta yelled. “I told you that we would not kill him.”

“He was out of control; I have to seize him,” Elias shouted.

Elias has been knocked to the ground as a result of a blow I gave when we were battling. When I started running, Robert grabbed my shirt. My shirt ripped as Robert grabbed me back and threw me to the ground. Bethany's stick hit the back of my head and I fell to the ground.
