Dreams

Eric was climbing out the back door just as mom was coming through the front, and I remember the eerie creaking of the porch when he did so. I remember the ominous feeling I got when I lied to my mom and said that no one had come over that day. 

I remember being rather tired, and it was only 3:33, so I decided to take a nap, but the dream was not a dream, nor a a nightmare. More like a horrid memory I wish I could forget, but am reminded every time I look in the mirror. The scars I have are forever, unless I gouged out my eyes. 

I guess I might as well tell you, since it is a key part of me. It happened a long time ago, before my parents were divorced, Eric, Carrie, and I were home by ourselves for the first time. It was rather late at night to. I was in my bedroom, laying on my bed. My room's on the second floor, so I wasn't afraid to leave my window open. Now I am though. 

I was sitting in my room, reading a book, Eric and Carrie were down stairs, when I suddenly got an ominous feeling, and an odd, almost stinging pain in my head. I shrugged it off as a headache because I was tired, and tried to go to sleep. 

I slept for about an hour or two, when I heard the floor creaking, like someone was walking on it. I shrugged it off, thinking it was Maxxie, until I realized, the little puppy was laying right next to me. Then, the creaking stopped, and I felt like something, or someone was watching me.

I cautiously opened my eyes, and saw a dark figure looming over me, with a knife in its hand. When I tried to scream for help, the figure wrapped a hand over my mouth. 

"Shhhhhhhhhh" It said, moving its face closer to mine. "Shhhhhhhhh" It help my eyes open with the hand once covering my mouth, and pour a liquid into my eyes, and I screamed. Then it took a match, and struck it.

It dropped the match, which made contact with my eyes, they set aflame. and the next thing I knew I woke up in the hospital, in pain. 

My mother was crying and I wanted to know why. When I asked why the doctor handed me a mirror, and I saw a horrific sight. 

My eyes where bleached white.
