THE DARK SIDE OF MY
DREAM
As I
stood gazing at the dilapidated house, I shivered. The cold air enveloped my
whole body. The stepping stones leading up in the house were cracked. Weeds
poked out from those cracks, vines formed a twisted maze upon the side of the
house and their tentacles reached the roof. The house walls showed black
neglect. The corners of the doors were covered with cobwebs, tiny black spiders
threading towards their prey.
I began to enter
that creepy place. Every room has creaking doors and that is not fancy! Windows
shuttered and rattling on the outside, the scrap of a chair was moving. Every
corner of the house had holes where big rats squeaking in a vividly loud noise.
The house had this old people smell, phantom perfume, cologne or something. It
also has this rusty or metallic smell. I walked by and roamed around until I
reached the kitchen, “Holy crap!” I screamed with fears buried into my body. I
saw a dead old woman lying on the floor without any clothes on. Her body had a
lot of scars and stitches. The wounds were freshly cut. I knelt down and took
the cover on her face. I turned out to shock. Her face was so pale, her eyes
were stitched with thick wires, her teeth were taken out of her mouth, her nose
was busted, and it stunk. Her left arm and right legs were separated from its
body. I got out the kitchen and tears fell out through my eyes. I felt downfall
about the situation. I had in my thoughts, what if I would be the next victim?
I turned my head
and I saw a big door. It was the biggest door in the house so I entered with no
hesitations. I entered the room and it was dark. Shadows seemed to swirl around
my feet, sucking me in. In a burst of panic, I fumbled for a light switch. I
flipped up and down frantically, but the room remains immersed in darkness.
Fear settled in and deep down knowing I’m not alone in the dark.
I felt someone was
brushing my back. I turned, but I saw no one. Outside I can hear the wind
howling, and it almost sounded laughter to my panicked mind. I’m being drawn
in, drowned in slumbering evil, there is no escape. I stayed at the corner of
the room. I sat down on the floor and closed my eyes for a few seconds to clear
my mind. The place that I’m into was the only room that had no lights. I gazed
at the bottom part of the door where light only appears in that area. I saw
someone passed by. I felt fear, I can’t move my feet, I felt so numb. I covered
my mouth and remained silent. But I was creating a sound that they may notice
that I am scared. The only thing that kept me warm was my breath. I placed my
right ear on the door and eagerly listened to the things that happened outside
the room I’m into. When I heard no sound I directly went out of the room and
hoped that I could escape alive. I flustered and I could hardly breathe. For
goodness sake! The only way out through that house was to pass the kitchen
again. In short, I need to go back the way I came in. I walked slowly without a
sound but, holy crap! It was all a trap! A big nasty hand began to hold my
ankle and dragged me so hard. I shouted for help yet there is no one there to
save me. They brought me into a dark place and someone pulled the clothes on my
chest and threw me hard at the sturdy furniture--- I fainted.
I opened my eyes and—my
arms and legs were all tied up with big ropes. It was dark and I shouted “Who
are you?! What do you want from me?!” Someone turned on the lights “Oh, my!” I
whispered. They were numerous. They all looked distorted; they had these
strange weapons in killing people in their hands. The old woman that I saw in
the kitchen was there. Her soul was feeling me, passing to and fro and
whispered “The only way to your escape is to sell your soul to them.”
“What? Sold my soul to
whom?”
“To Satan and his
angels. They haunt people who praise and believe God. I am an angel of God sent
here to guide you. Don’t lose faith and fight for your life. You have a family
waiting for you,” and then he disappeared.
“Wait, I thought you are
here to save me!” I struggled.
“The only person who can
save you is yourself. Don’t let the devils take your soul.” –the angel
vanished. I’m so clueless that I can’t even get a hint of what the angel was
talking about. The devils were pulling my feet and trying to cut it out away
from my body. I fought back and kicked their faces. I was so scared. I closed
my eyes and thought of what the angel had said to me and –yes! “It is my faith!
My faith in God is the key to all of this!” I said to myself. I prayed the
Lord’s Prayer then suddenly a bright light just appeared --I gasped and I woke
up.
My dream seemed
real and until now I can’t get over this horrifying experience. For me I did
not save myself. It was God who saved me. Without my faith in him I cannot get
out of that nightmare.
