My nightmares

Chapter 2: Lights out

Summary:

Couldn't think of a better title lol. Anyway I think this dream is good for anyone wanting ideas for a thriller or horror story. Yes this is basic "Omg I cant run or yell in my nightmares" but it was fucking terrifying when I was experiencing it because I could feel every single thing that happened in my dream.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

So it was at night when this happened. I was in my room, which was on the 2nd floor of a 2 story house, and my room was the only one with lights on while the rest of the lights on the 2nd floor were off. I was on my computer and then this ad came up like "Solve all these 20 questions and earn some extra cash!" or smn. I couldn't click off the ad so I decided to just play it. When I pressed play tho it was like really fast and I couldn't anyway of the questions so I just though "Oh well. :/" but then like 2 dollars appeared out of thin air onto my lap and I was really surprised so I ran out of my room to show my parents who were downstairs in the kitchen, eating. I like walked out of my room and remember that all the lights were off so I just saw this man, his body made of all black and nothing else with no physical features or anything, so I just start like running downstairs because I was scared but when I stepped onto the stairs the atmosphere slowed down and I couldn't run or anything so it was just slow motion. Anyway I reach the middle of the stairs, where you can see down into the kitchen, and try to shout for my parents, who were at a normal speed, but I can't yell or talk so it was just all white noise and I could feel the air leaving my lungs and my vocal cords getting tired even though I wasn't making any sound. Then I look up and see the man coming down and grabbing my legs and I try to fight his grasp and shout but my parents couldn't hear me then I feel the man drag me back upstairs and I just stop fighting it hoping that he loosens his grip so I can run away. The last thing I could remember before waking up was the feeling of my head hitting each stair as I was dragged up.

Notes:

When I woke up, I woke up in a cold sweat and my throat hurt like I was actually screamed in real life. Also sorry I haven't posted in a long time, the Ao3 writers curse happened and most of my friends cut me off and my dog died<333

Notes:

I use this to comfort myself because no one will listen to my stories or I’m scared of people being weirded out.
