I wandered around in the darkness. I noticed that it wasn't completely dark. It was as if the sky were stained with dark berry juice. I could see my body, I could make out spindly trees, but I couldn't see the horizon. I moved as if through jelly. I had one purpose, to get out. But in this darkness I couldn't tell which way 'out' was. As I neared things they became more distinct, as if I traveled in a heavy purple fog. I began to feel panic. I began to miss home and family and comfort. A sense of urgency and fear overtook me. I tried to run. I tried to focus more on objects in the distance, looking for an exit. My breathing became labored and my heart pounded. My hearing and vision sharpened. I heard something behind me! I knew it was close. I knew it was looking for me. It was here the whole time, waiting for me to move. It wants to stop me. I want to scream. I run and look behind me, run, and look ahead. I can't see it, I expect evil red eyes and large teeth. I stumble and fall! I jolt awake. 2008-08-25T19:12:24Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29392 <p>ya even if this isn&#8217;t a dream I GUESSS it can count in the challeng&#8230; (unless you dont want it to)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/29392?basename=89556 2008-08-25T19:12:24Z N555champ /\and/\ X-Ninja (LoA) http://ficlets.com/authors/bigkittyproductions <p>Ouch.
