Meet My Nightmare

The sky is darkening, a storm is brewing.It's a sign.I know he shall come, knock on my door and ruin yet another part of my life like before.

Last year, he "honored" me with his presence. My life had changed due to him.

"Though hesitant, I open the door and there he stands. A peculiar man. Though his physical features were normal enough- an average-sized man with red hair and deep blue eyes- there was something about him that gave me goosebumps.

"Hi showed his menacingly toothy grin, taunting me, then he laughs. A wicked laugh. I try to slam the door shut but it's as if there's this invisible force keeping me from doing it.

"Seeing my distressed face made him cackle, rendering me weaker than before. Confidence and courage stripped away from my poor soul.

"He turns and leaves. Finally I was able to close the door. But his maniacal laughter still echoes the room. He left quite an impression in my mind. I fell like waking from a dream, or actually a nightmare."

Since that day, I knew I'd be seeing him again.

I hate visits from FAILURE. I feel so defenseless against him. He overpowers me using my pessimism and weaknesses as his minions.

He's coming. I know he is. Just around the corner. I begin to tremble. I seem to be glued to the ground. No escape.
