nightmare
I watch the news showing 2 torture killings that have occurred over the past few days. I can't remember the details of the first murder, but the other murder consists of the victim being knocked down by a car in reverse, and then being hung on a tree upside down with his legs tied. The news on TV broadcasts the murder suspect's face, and I don't give much thought to it.
A few days later I'm walking on a street, and see a person wearing a round hat like those of cancer patients and a surgical mask walking towards me. Oddly enough, I still recognize him as the murder suspect from the news a few days ago. I take out my iPod to snap a photo of him. He notices me doing that and rushes towards me , snatches my iPod and runs away.
I belatedly realize the danger of my actions, as he might have already targeted me as his next victim. Somehow I am not sad over the loss of my iPod.
Another few days later I receive my iPod in the mail, and use it to watch videos. When I select 1 of the videos to watch, another video pops out instead.
It is the video recording of the 2 murders that took place. I think I'm next in line. Suddenly someone grabs me from behind and beats me up very badly, and the next thing I know, I' m in hospital bandaged up everywhere except my eyes. I'm unable to move, and my room door opens slowly.
My attacker has stepped in, donning the same hat and mask covering his face.
I can't protest, and I try to reach for the help button below my table. It is too late. He pulls the drip out of my hand and stabs my spine with the needle.
The pain feels so real, I wake up. It is 6am.
I never knew you could actually feel pain in your dreams until now. Maybe I should stop reading murder thrillers before bedtime. Hur.
