waking up in a nightmare

My life was great after highschool... helped my folks out, went to college, worked late every night... Untill it all change that faithful morning...

*Beep,beep...beep,beep*(alarm going off)"Mmmfgh..." I reach for my phone turning off the alarm,rubbing my eyes, and staring at the blank ceiling. "Another day...you know the routine.." telling myself. I throw off the blankets, getting out of bed feeling the cold floor beneath my bare feet, and making my way through the pile of my shoes and into the kitchen.. "Jesus fucking christ...can I atleast have a day to fix everything..." walking to the living room seeing my sister hasn't dropped off my niece yet. I shrug it off, walking back to my room, and lay back down in my bed falling back asleep...

My mind begins to dream off into my world...

"Mmm.." I wake up, sitting up and looking around seeing myself in an empty road. "What the...am I..dreaming?" I stand up, looking around once more seeing nothing but, emptiness. Placing one foot infront of the other would help. But, I feel stuck..

My heart begins to race, hair rasing.. I look over my shoulder seeing a horrifying creature standing behind me... My Mouth is open, not a scream left my body... then darkness...

I throw off the blankets, waking up in sweat, and feeling my heart pound against my ribs. "Jesus.." I grab my phone reading the time that it was ten minutes before noon, getting out of bed, and grabbing some fresh clothes out of my dresser for a nice shower. I walk through the hallway, looking into my parents room seeing my pops was out of bed, and not bothering to question to where he was. I open the door to the bathroom thats in the middle of the hallway, closing the door behind me, and getting the water ready. *sighs* "What the fuck is there to do before work...sneak off and smoke.." I hop in the shower, sitting at the edge of the tub, and letting the hot water soak my hair, and feel it sting against my skin warming it up. Twenty minutes pass, turning off the water, and getting out feeling the bathroom feel like a sauna. I dry my hair, thinking of the horrible nightmare... the face flashes in my mind.. It had the ugliest sickest smile... I dress up, walkin out of the bathroom, and looking to my left. "Pops still out, guess he's out payin bills..." heading back to my room putting on my chuck taylors, grabbing my cap, and keys.

I walk to the living room, opening the front door, and closing it behind me hearing it click. "Let's see what my day brings me.."
