Nightmare.

I don't know where they came from, the voices that is, but i just knew i had to find who they belonged to.

The corridor is dark and empty.

Sinister and cold with a chilling silence that is so uncomfortable it's painful.

The voices echo down the long hall and i see the slight outline of a little girl.

She giggles as she cuts a corner.

Running after her i slip around the corner to be found in a blank white room.

No door, no window.

Empty.

Not even my own shadow.

Stuck in the corner tears running down my face i hear a piano play a daunting song that drifts through the cracks.

paralyzed in the corner i feel something reach around me.

Arms that aren't quite human, dark and rough.

Grab at me and pull me through into reality.

Lying awake panting in my bed.

Dark, cold sweat, sheets thrown to the ground.

A nightmare.

Nothing more, nothing less...

Turning over and falling back asleep the children giggle at me as they walk through the long hallways awaiting my arrival again.
