The ultimate nightmare: Describe the worst nightmare you have ever had.
I lay down and waited for the soothing blanket of sleep shroud me. A few seconds later the anticipated blackness of slumber settled in…

Suddenly, the deafening noise of the alarm clock woke me up with a startling jolt. It seemed as though I had fallen asleep mere seconds ago and as I groggily looked around something did not seem right. The room looked the same as it did before I went to sleep. In the bright orange light that seemed to come from hell's keep itself, shown through the flimsy curtains from the eerily noiseless street behind our house I could see that nothing was amiss. Nothing that I could notice straight away that is.

As I got up from my bed, I saw that my sister was not in hers'. I looked around once more, as the feeling of peculiar alarm and angst worked from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. I was at once perturbed and shaken as I saw that the room was clean, severely clean. There was naught on the tables, or in the wardrobe, not dust nor a shadow of the things that had been there and as I turned to look at the alarm clock, I was only more agitated to find the side table to be glimmeringly spotless.

As the twisted black feeling of fear grew, I knew I had to go through the entire house. Having no idea of what time it was; except that it was dark; sinister as any night in a horror movie outside, I went through each and every room in our house only to find all of them stripped bare, like a newborn baby, from the ceiling to the floor. It was as though it had taken hours for me to do that, for me to find all my families things, my family, itself to have, disappeared like they had never existed in the first place.

The fear that had been lit now consumed me like a wild fire. That this dream like situation that seemed to go on for hours only fed it. The fact that I now knew this was not reality but a horrifying nightmare did not seem any less daunting than if a dragon breathing fire had been placed in front of me. For this was my ultimate

    Thirsty I made my way towards the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Cranberry Pomegranate juice. Sitting around what’s left of the dining room table one of its hinges obliterated merely three table legs left as a support. A branch from the oak tree near the kitchen window kept tapping against the walls and windows as the wind blows. This branch at night when the murky moonlight blooms against the massive tree meticulously resemble an oversized man with a knife trying to break into the house. I often dreaded coming down the stairs for a cup of water or juice late at night when the lights were off. The terrified image and screeches sound on the window always send me scurrying right back to my room and ducking under the covers trembling for dear…

    Tired, with a headache, and not in capacity to maintain my eyes open, I remembered next day was Halloween, which was the last thing I remembered before falling sleep. I woke up and saw the watch, it was three o’clock a.m. I listened to a weird sound that came from my closet; it was soft, but I could hear it like a rat scratching the walls. Intrigued about what was happening, I woke up and walked towards the closet. The sound gave me the chills.…

    It seemed like I was wandering into a different dimension. My senses were becoming acquainted to new feelings: guttural whispers, excruciating odour, ponderous glass-like air and the cemented, pungent, taste of death! As I opened the door candlelight rose to greet me but who lit them? I was informed that the secluded house I was purchasing has been unoccupied forever.…

    No matter how hard I try, they always come crawling back into my dreams, or should I say nightmares, the phenomenons, they’re ratchet, they’re horrible. They seem start with heat, light, and sound, sounds of crying, no, screaming. I stand there, as little as I was, crying, yelling out for my mum. I remember hearing her faintly yelling out for me, “Alistair! I’m here! I’m here!”. Piece by piece, I slowly remember, “I can’t find you mummy! I’m scared!”. As soon as I saw her, I saw the glimpse of a subtle smile. She started to run, she started to. Before she knew it, before I knew it, a bloody brute of a demon or simply man had bludgeoned her to death. As the cherry-red blood blossomed in the midst of me, I suddenly wake up with beads of sweat…

    As she tries to calm herself from the fright of the opening door, she looks back at her family to find them no longer staring at her, but now staring at the opened basement door. In the act of her curiosity, Mona cautiously approaches her family. But then suddenly stops because of what she sees next. Her family beginning to raise their arms, pointing down into the deep dark basement. Now, shivers down her spine, Mona walks toward the basement door, trying to see what they are pointing to. She walks closer and closer straining her eyes to see through the thick blackness, while frequently looking back at her family to make sure nothing has changed. But with all her efforts she could not see anything but darkness, so she reaches for the light switch, inside the stairwell, to get a better look. But as she reaches in, something in the black darkness grabs her by the arm and yanks her down, slamming the door behind…

    The darkness concealed us. Even amid the bright and silvery light of the satisfied moon. We crouched behind a tree, taking turns peeking at the house. For a moment, nothing happened. But then the ghost flashed blue in a tangled sea of tattered sheers. The drapes dropped to the floor and it was gone in a ripple of gloom.…

    The cool autumn air seeps in through the open window of our small cottage, letting it wash over me I sit and question what exactly had happened. The war was certainly terrifying but that dark shadow thing that lurked in my...dream? It was more terrifying than the horrors that I witnessed. It was so cold I felt it in my bones, the power felt as though it could tear my skin off. I tare off my thick blankets and checked my ankles to see them bleeding. Swearing softly I hobbled over to the small kitchen and tore up one of the rags and cleaned my wounds.…

    As we approached the front porch we could feel the eerie chills in the air. We walked through the front door and at first everything seemed normal, but after we had all crossed that initial threshold of the front door the house had hold of us. The door slammed shut behind us and locked all on its own, we were trapped inside… We quickly started to panick, looking for an escape. As we were searching for an exit the strangest things started to happen. We would see shadowy figures turning around corners, just to find no one there, bugs seemed to appear out of nowhere then scurry away, the eyes on paintings seemed to follow us as we ran through the house, and lastly the noises, they came from somewhere deep within the house and had no explanation. Each experience slightly more terrifying than the last; it was almost as if the house could sense our fear and was feeding off of it… Eventually we all ended up succumbing to fear and we just crippled over and gave in, the house had won. All of the legends and horror stories we had always heard about the house were real, today we discovered that they were true. The house had won, it had claimed its newest souls and feasted on their fear until nothing was left but the bones of its…

    In the black shadow of the night there was a shattering scream. The scream was owned to my mother. As I woke, my eyes became more and more clear.

    Suddenly a thought struck my mental, where is my family? I couldn’t run inside. Paralyzed with fear I stood there, wishing so desperately it would all go away. Almost instantly, my eyes flopped open. I laid frozen in my bed, scanning my surroundings to ensure nothing was gobbling on my flesh. Once I felt it was clear, I jolted out into the kitchen, to be greeted by my mother making pancakes. It was so strange I didn’t believe it. I ran outside, still in my pajamas from the previous night. Nothing. It was all in my head.…
