Okay heres my first ever horror story that I did ages ago, hope you enjoy! It is based on a dream I had a very long time a go about the apocolypse. Short but sweet.
At night, I dream.
Normal dreams mostly, sometimes its more. Disturbing. Strange. Horrifying.
Guess this is what I get for having an overactive imagination. Sometimes I even think its real. Sometimes it is. Who knows? This is the one dream I can remember clearly, so clearly I wonder if it was real or not. Of course, how could it have been real, if it was, we or rather you wouldn’t be here. Right… right?
One minute its all normal few of my friends are round at my house just hanging around, having fun. But wait, isn’t that my old house? Why are we there? Oh well, it is a dream after all. Then there’s this flash of light, I think I’ve gone blind, and then the light clears, its dark outside. I look around to see my friends are still ok, they are. They look as if nothing has happened. Why is that I wonder… I rush to the door and pull it open. I nearly faint from the sight that greets me. The sky is blood red, there is no sun. How is there light then? No matter. The buildings have all been destroyed, once towering tall sky-scrapers, now grey ruins. There is no one in sight. What is going on!? I run back to my friends. Now they seemed to have noticed something is wrong. I try to speak to them but nothing comes out, just silence. I try screaming, at last my voice comes back. What is going on? I ask them, they do not know. One of the older boys suggests we look around, reluctantly, we all agree. Two by two we leave the house. We look around the remains of my city. Nothing left, we search for days, finding not one living soul. The sky never darkens, it stays the one colour. There is no night. Is there even time? We come to the conclusion we are all that is left of humanity. There is another flash of light…
I wake up, scared.
Thump… thump… thump…
Footsteps!? But it’s the middle of the night, who would be up at this time. Arnt my mum, dad and sister away?
Thump… thump… thump…
Closer, their getting closer! They are at my door!
