Nightmares.
Those terrible dreams that don’t let us sleep. Some people dream about ghosts,
other people dream about haunted houses, others dream about monsters,… But they
don’t see the true nightmare.
I
don’t remember the first day that I saw it. I always knew it was around me. I
always tried to see it. But it wasn’t until one day. I was sitting on the grass
watching the trees. I remember it far away. It wasn’t a regular person, it was
very tall. It had very thin legs. It looked ill. I recognised him as I looked
straight. I remember it like if it was yesterday. It started coming to me. I
couldn´t believe that I would finally discover who that thing was that had been
trying to scare me all my life. My heart started beating faster. As it came closer
I standed on the grass. I didn’t have enough strength but I started running. I
had to chase it. It started running to me as well but suddenly it dissapeared.
But then I realised that it was behind me. I couldn’t see its face clearly but
I remember that it was disfigured and very bloody. It took my into its arms and
start scratching my belly with very large fingers. I couldn’t move. I started
bleding. It pulled of my 5 months baby fetus and started devouring it.
I
woke up. I felt very bad. I was trying to get up when I saw a very large spot
of blood all over me. I went to the hospital with my pajamas. I was very weak.
I touched my stomach and thought of my baby. Would it be dead? -I thought. I
started crying as I went into the examination room. When the doctor turned
around I almost fall because I saw the face of that thing of my nightmare but
then it turned out being just my imagination. He asked me why I came and I
explained him about the blood. He asked me where and I looked at myself but
there wasn’t blood on my body or any injury. I didn’t know what was going on. I
saw the blood! But I asked for a check of my baby anyway. My surprise was when
the doctor told me that I wasn’t pregnant. I returned home. I sat on my bed as
I realised that everything was over he already took
my mind. I laid on in front of that monster in my nightmares, looking deeply
into its eyes. It won. It took me into his arms and started suffocating me. But
I didn’t resist. It had the control. It took my life.
We
all have a monster inside, looking for our pain. They want our lives, they want
us. We just have to ignore them. Don’t give them a chance to catch you. When
you are in the shower, when you watch the TV, when you put on a sweater or
while you are reading this, they are watching you. Waiting for you to turn
around. Don’t mind them, because if they know that you know them… you’re dead.
