I touch the door with my fingertips and it bursts-it jumps away like a terrified deer-and I plunge into the silent hearth-lit hall with a laugh that i wouldn't care much to wake up to.
The flickering fire luminates the i dim hall and creates eerie shadows. silence meets my ears as I call to whomever laughed. I'm met only with a disturbing growl from behind me, and when I look back...nothing is there.
I swear I see images fo people and faces along the wall trying to reach toward me. A chill enters my bones while my breath escapes me in a fog. Dread and adrenaline race through my veins.
I fight my senses, but lose and start running down the hall. Voices & Screams come to me as my feet pound on the floor. It grows louder and louder till its almost deafening then it all stops one I reach a room. a fire is buring in the chimney while a chair is faced to it. I approach the back of the chair while my heart beats profusely.
I turn the chair and--I wake up in a sweat. I beg myself to rememver what was in it, but was dissapointed. Suddenly it comes to me...I was in the chair watching my own reaction upon finding...myself.
