He was running - long shadows loomed from behind him as the forest seemed to close in around him, branches snapping at his faces, roots curled up as though to trip him up. The rolling mists made direction impossible as he fled from the shadowy creatures, panting and struggling to stay on his feet.
Run, run, run! His mind screamed at him as he stumbled onto the damp moss and rotted leaves - too frightened to even glance back at his pursuers. Their rank breath filled his nostrils - foul heat and decaying bodies, the stink of blood they were monsters and they were stalking towards him. The hair on the back of his neck rose as he could feel their presence - closer then ever as the dark shadows took on distinctive forms. Get up! His mind screamed as his body refused to body, paralyzed by dread.
Finally he dared to glance back - and screamed as red eyes and endless rows of teeth descended upon him as he caught a glimpse of himself watching with Sadistic glee.

Another nightmare? He thought as he twisted and tried to free himself.
