It all began with a Dream
I couldnt really sleep for quite some time now, always waking up around midnight and having the worst vivid nightmares.
Lazily i grabbed the phone on my nightstand my face being reflected on the dead screen.
It looked like I had been crying with my deep dark eyecircles and puffy eyes.
The Moon shining through the cracks of my windowstill in a slightly reddish tint, a telltale sign that I was stuck in one of my nightmares.
I slowly opened the door to my apartment peeked out and made my way down to the Coffee Shop just around the block, a welcome safe haven even in my dreams.
But just before I could cross the street I herard an unearthly howl emenate from behind me.
My eardreams screeching in pain bringing me to my knees, as I came to my senses the heavy steps were at my ass so I started to sprint.
It close enough for me to smell its putrid stench, like rotting rats eating and puking on each other at the same time.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Beneath its feet the concrete cracked.
My heart was pumping so loud even the monster could hear it.
No way can i risk a look back.
My legs already burning and sweating crying out even more as I crested a corner and shoved an old dumpster in the way of the abomination.
A loud *Clank* and some crunching later didnt encourage me.
But then someone shouted from an alleyway before me.
Come here! its safe!
Not asking twice i tried turning the corner. But I slipped on some drenched fucking newspaper.
I risked a look down from where i came and there it was, barrelling towards me.
It had grey undulating flesh and multiple eyes some even poking out with tentacles but the most disturbing thing was its giant maw with obsidian colored crooked theeth
I could feel its hunger as the whole mouth rotated and spun getting faster the closer it got to me.
Move you idiot!
Not only my legs but also my mind were paralyzed. You cant outrun this beast.
Its all a dream anyway. Let me die so I can sleep.
I closed my eyes
Wait, If im dreaming who is the other Person?
I looked down the alleyway and there a metal door was swung wide open and a robed figure extended a hand.
Orange curls teasingly peeking out from under the hood.
Behind the figure golden light streamed out.
An angel I whispered between gapes of air.
But then it was already too late, countless theeth were shredding my flesh to bits.
My bones cracking as i smiled at the figure.
And darkness consumed me.
