Dreams of Life

It was a cold and dreary night, the wind howled all around me. I tried to keep my mind occupied with thoughts of my sister.

I trudge my way along the pathway, but stop at the sound of leaves rustling. I shake my head and walk on. I focus on my walking, but it was no use, all I can think about is the sound of the leaves rustling. I shake my head again, but as I look to my left, I see movement. I narrow my eyes, but there is nothing for me to see, even with the full moon shining.

I pick up my pace and come to the corner of the block. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up, someone has been watching me. I freeze and listen; there is nothing for me to hear.

Suddenly something howled, there was a snarl, a crack and then, nothing.

I woke up with a jerk, I was in bed and the sheets were twisted around my feet. I pulled myself up and look around, I was at home.

'It was only a dream.' I thought.

But what I didn't know was that my dream, will soon be, my reality.
