The Nighmare Again
So a nightmare I've had before, it came back. Back to haunt, back to remind, back to bring fear, I'm not sure. Regardless of why it's returned or what has triggered it, I have decided to share it.
I'm a child again. Wide, bright eyes surrounded with long eyelashes, batting innocently as I take in the area around me. Freckles cover my pale face and I am standing all alone
Directly in the middle of an amusement park nonetheless
But I'm young and fragile, standing all alone.
In front of me stands a giant machine with small airplanes for children to ride in, up high and then back down to our amusement. Inside I climb and enjoy the ride for awhile. Up I go and look around then back down to smile and giggle at the odd sensation tingling in my small body. Then up I go once again and I see something I shouldn't.
The sky has gone black and I am enclosed inside the plane. I feel feverish yet steam comes out of my mouth into the cold place I'm suddenly taken into. As I turn I see someone, or something, else has joined me in the small air plane.
This creature has smoke pouring from his pores. Thick and curly is the mustache upon what was once a lip. His lips curl into a dark smile and although he is a frail and crumbling man, he makes me scream in terror. He points up at the sky then back down. As his finger moves, more of his skin peels away or sinks into his bones. I continue to scream and bang on the glass, a poor attempt to get out.
Finally a rope falls from the "ceiling" of the machine and as he pulls it, his bones and skin fall into a pile of ash in the seat beside me. Not only does he fade away but so do I, down a trap door that has appeared and opened. Down I fall, screaming and reaching for anything to grab onto but yet down I fall
I fall
and fall.
Blurred into a new setting in the dream
Laying in a bench I'm broken and bloody. I'm still the same little girl but blood is falling from parts of me. Tears fall from my still wide and innocent eyes. When suddenly a clone of me stands at the other side of the walk way in the still active, yet in slow motion moving amusement park. She crosses over and smiles sadly.
As she reaches over, she looks into my eyes which is when I notice that I am unable to move on the bench. She wipes some of the blood away from the scratches covering my neck. The sight of the blood excites her and her eyes turn a dark red color. The clone of me rubs the blood over her face and smiles even though she is crying. Then she reaches over and closes my eyes for me which have glazed over and become frozen
Suddenly a pair of what seem like humans, of transparent, silhouette of bodies appears beside her. She reaches up and grabs both of their hands. As they turn to leave, she looks back one final time and smiles in a disturbing manor before skipping away throughout the park
This nightmare has come to me multiple times and has never changed a beat. Why is this?
