Dating : A Dream I Had The Other Night… [Short Story]

This story I’m about to tell you, as weird and creepy as it may seem, it’s real and happened to me a couple of nights ago, while I was submersed in the most peaceful and powerful state of mind known to man…” The Dream State”.

Before I continue, I would like to tell you that I’m not a “Dreaming” person. This is, I dream, like every other human being, but most of the time I don’t remember what I dream about.

However, this time, this particular “Dream” … I remember everything… with such a feel and detail it’s almost unbelievable. I still can’t believe I dreamed with such a thing… I mean, it really felt like I was there, present in the moment, living, touching and experiencing all of that… Anyway, you will understand what I mean in a second…

So… everything started, with a BANG… The Church bell rang loud and clear and echoed through my room, forcing me to open my eyes in a rush. I sighed…

That loud and shrill sound scared the shit out of me… And the reflection of that, were my hands, that aside from being all shaky, were all sweaty and slippery too. Just like my chest and forehead.

– Fucking snakes… — I said to myself, still in terror, trying to find reality, while, at the same time, trying to dry the sweat from my face with my shirt.

– Why do I always dream with snakes? — I slide my body to the left and, with a little effort, sat on the tip of the bed.

Then, started to examine the room I was in.

– Odd… This is not my room… Where Am I?

I had my head spinning around in all directions trying to understand something of what was going on… Nothing was making sense to me. The walls were different, the furniture was different and even the technology was outdated…

Where Is my computer — I wondered… — What’s going on here?

At that moment, a weird looking woman, short in size but heavy in weight, full of pupils and birthmarks on her face, bursted into my room.

-Is everything okay darling? — her voice was also weird… too trembly for my taste.

– Who’re you? — I asked

– You don’t remember me sweetie?

– Of course not! Who’re you? Where’s my mom?

Right at that moment, she jumped on me and tied my two arms together. I swear I could hear my bones crack — Crack… Crack… — I screamed with pain!

-Let me go! — I screamed.

She looked at me straight in the eyes… her face was super close to mine. So close I could smell her shitty breath.

-You’re not going anywhere my sweet little boy… No…. No… No, you’re not!

And then she turned her head from me and shouted to the hallway.

-Maria!! Hurry up, you bitch!!! I can’t hold him forever. — and started laughing euphorically. — Oh, and bring what’s left of his mom too! — The laughing continued.

My vision was about to go blur… I couldn’t handle the pain anymore… Then, all the sudden, her laugh started to echo in the distance. And then… my eyes closed and the last thing I heard was the scream of my mom calling for me…
