[ Week 28, Day 5 || Dream ]
At first, there's nothing but darkness. Slowly, a dim light covers the ground as an odd fog rolls in. There's no smell, no sounds.
Reim stood for a moment, just the slightest increase of tempo of his heart. With a harsh swallow, he stepped forward into a slow gait. One step after the next, hands tight at his sides as he pushed through the waves of smoke towards seemingly nothing.
Then, a growl. Low. Thunderous.
Reim stopped. His heart leap into his throat. Hands tightened into fists. Shaking. Just shaking. Then, slowly, Reim turned. At first, he saw nothing. The growl persisted, humming over the pulse echoing in his ears.
Suddenly, a pair of eyed eyes flashed in the fog. Reim turned and fled, his feet not carrying him fast enough. Pushing harder, digging deeper, he struggled to make it the next few feet. Then, he tripped, landing face first onto the ground. His glasses skidded out of sight. With a panicked breath, he jerked around. A dog loomed over him, small bits of drool landing on the ground around him.
Those jowls opened, white teeth as sharp as knives charging towards his throat.

[Reim jerks awake. Heart pounding. Panicked breaths. He looks around. There's no dog. So sign of it. Reim sighs, trying to relax.]
