This is one of the stories I had submitted for Danny's writing challenge : Short story. I post it here after Tanya corrected it so you readers can feel the real thrill. I really glad when she said this is one of the best in her opinion^^ 

I was sleeping on the sofa when mom woke me up and asked me to move to my room because we had guests. I did what she said and went straight to my bed. I fell asleep and woke up again, looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair was tied into ponytail. It hadn’t been my hair style before I slept I guess, that time I started feeling something weird. Soon I opened the door and it was dark and foggy. Damn! I was trapped in my dream again. Because I fell asleep twice, I had  to wake up twice in order to get my consciousness back and bring myself to reality. Actually it was easy, let’s search the place I sleep as a check point. But believe me, dream world is not a good place to explore it alone. During my way back, I met many people with scary faces. It reminded me of the last horror movie I had seen “Insidious”. That recalling process just made the things worse, I see almost all of the ghosts from that movie here, But, don’t worry. They won’t kill me. The only way to keep me stay here is to increase my anxiety and I won’t give up easily, all I need  is just a clear mind and keep moving.

I am running as hell noticing a lousy four legged creature after me.  I saw the cringed face at a glance. I ran as fast as I could and then I saw it, the sofa where I had slept before. I jumped onto that sofa and when I landed I suddenly found myself awoke seeing the back of my mom who was staring through the window. It was daylight, thanks God I am back! I was breathing fast and sweating badly, “I had a bad dream, mom, why didn’t you wake me up?” Mom turned to me and I saw it again, the cringed face of that lousy creature. 

Thank you and have a great Halloween! :D (For you who celebrate it off course)
