Nightmares

Hello everyone! Jelly here. I hope you all are doing well today.

Personally, I am really tired. I haven't been getting much sleep. Usually it is due to me waking up in the middle of the night or nightmares. This time it was both, but I blame my lack of energy on the horrible nightmare I had. Unfortunately, I remember it...so I will tell it to you.


I was in an amusement park; the place resembled Knotts Berry Farm but the layout was different. I was standing around, waiting for the group I was traveling with to catch up. Suddenly, we hear a creaking noise that echoed through the skies. I look up and see one of the rides that once stood tall fall over and crash to the ground. It happened again to two more rides. I was panicked, but also confused to the sudden collapse of these rides. Suddenly, a man from our group runs up next to me and yells, 
"Everyone! It's a tsunami!" He points towards the way where the first ride fell.  Just as I align my eyes with the direction he pointed, I see it: A large wall-like wave of water that swallowed up the skies coming our way. I have never felt so horrified and scared of my life. Apparently everyone around felt the same way, as ear-splitting screams filled the air.
The man that stood next to me helped me snap out of it so that we can run. I ran as hard as I could, I ran with everything I had, but I was moving so slowly. I should have been able to keep up with everyone else, but it seemed like I was being intentionally made to move half as slow. 

There was no escape for me.

I get caught by the wall of water. I thought it would be over for me right then. To my surprise, I was able to grab a hold of this tall sturdy thing. It kind of looked like one of those billboards they have in the mall that changes its poster every few seconds, but there was no poster inside. I held on with every fiber of my being, with every ounce of energy I had. 

I closed my eyes, I just focused on holding on and breathing. As I reached inside myself, I spoke, "Don't give up, I won't give up...! I'm not ready to die yet!"

I opened my eyes.

The wave of water was gone. I was on the ground, still holding on to the billboard, standing and soaking wet. A lot of things were surprisingly still standing, while even more things were in ruins. More importantly, the park looked bare by how little people that were still up and about. Fortunately and to my surprise, the group that I was traveling with was still alive. We all decided that we would get supplies and then make the journey home. I saw a few people in their own groups, all heading in one way: towards to back entrance/exit of the park. It was usually reserved only for employees, but it seems it was converted to an emergency exit. After taking a deep breath, I head in the same direction, wishing that I could be home safe in my bed.


Like a cue, that was when I woke up, safe in my bed. It was like my nightmare was trying to apologize to me for scaring the shiz outta me. You are not forgiven, nightmare!

So that was my nightmare. I hope you appreciate my writing skills. When was the last time you had a nightmare? When you woke up, did you feel like you had less energy than before you went to bed?


I hope your days started off better than mine. Until next week!
