• This is a nightmare my best friend had. He woke up at 4am one morning crying, and in a cold sweat. He instantly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down everything that happened in his nightmare.

    Normally he'd send me his dreams through texts, but me being grounded made that impossible. It also made it impossible for me to spend that much time with him or any of my other friends.

    Later that day, he came to my school like he always does and handed me the paper with his nightmare on it and told me to read it.

    I stood in front of him and began to read. By the ending, I was crying...

    I looked up at him, my vision blurred and cheeks wet from the tears suddenly streaming down my face.

    He was smiling. He opened his mouth to say something...and that's when a friend of ours came up to us and began to talk to him. I’ll never know what he wanted to tell me.

    His nightmare:

    We were on a field trip with a lot of people and something went wrong and we got trapped in an old warehouse. A lot of people were dying and we got separated. Everyone I was with, except two people, died. But I didn’t want to leave you in there so I spent hours fighting and looking for you. It was monsters that were killing everyone. Then someone shouted they got the front gate open. I thought if you were still alive, you would head there. I called out to you about thirty times with no answer, then I called your phone. I heard it ring so I kept calling it till I found it and got scared. You didn’t have it.

    Then I heard you scream and I ran as fast as I could in the direction I heard you. A monster was dragging you out in the ocean. I instantly jumped in and saved you. Then a monster showed up swimming back in but you were on my back, so I couldn’t do anything. But you saved me. I was happy. When we got back to the shore, I showed you the survivors and we all started walking home.

    You, me and this guy were the last three walking in the group, but then the guy tripped, so you were helping him. I walked ahead and couldn’t see you and then the guy screamed. I ran back to you guys. You were gone. He was dead. I thought the monsters were back so I sprinted back to the warehouse.

    I heard my name from behind me and you were standing there covered in blood. Monsters were next to you. You were the leader and brought people for them to kill. And as I stood there, I started to tear and you walked over and killed me with no remorse, guilt or sorrow. You had your normal expression on, as if killing me were normal.

    Then I woke up and I was already crying in sleep.
