"Dream - a series of thoughts ,images and sensations happening during the sleep."

The silence is so deafening. I can hear my heart beat .I don't know how and I don't know why I am standing in the middle of some highway that is fenced by forest on both sides. The highway is deserted  as long as I can see .The dense smoke from the forest is covering the highway. My feet is rooted to the road. No matter how much I try ,it just don't move.

"Any one there? Can anyone hear me?"

I could taste the bile in my throat, ear aching from the repetitive sounds of my own heart-beat, like an abyss. I knew that I was alone in here.            

After wandering senselessly, I heard a rustle to my left. If I was hearing my heartbeat in my ears before,  I can feel the heart in my throat now . The eerie silence followed made my head spin. Suddenly, I have this feeling in the pit of stomach indicating that  something bad is going to happen. I feel like throwing up and I can feel that someone is watching me from the woods.

"He...Hello. Is this a prank? ",I whispered.

"If it is a joke , please stop it right now cause , it  isn't funny".

Silence   

For Christ's sake ! Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. No.. I am gonna cry.

After losing track of the time and distance on the highway , I saw a small light like a little dot.  Bless my soul. I started running towards the little light. I can feel my chest was tightening ,as I inch closer to it.

"Grace". 

I heard a whisper behind me. I swear I've never turned that fast in my life. It was horrifying to realize there was no one. They say the primal and strongest emotion of mankind is fear and the strongest form of fear?. It is the fear of unknown and I can't help but ponder about it.

"Jordan ? Is that you? ", I whispered. So much for a courageous girl.

Maybe it was my mind conjuring but some part of me was telling me it's real .I brushed off the idea and as I was before the eyes of the light, fear is now associated with hope, but hope doesn't last long. I felt something heavy hit my head and all of a sudden I was floating mid- air. Those moments felt like my last.

Death, here I come.

The moment I was bracing myself for the impact, I saw it.

With that, I jerked awake in my bed , blankets around my legs. The temperature in the room was chilly. Even I knew that that was just a dream, I could feel the adrenaline rush with my heart pumping very fast.  

Nightmares are my thing and I don't like it a bit.
