Dreams and reality finally collide.
His heart sank, he opened his eyes.
An unsightly creature hovered above him.
The room was freezing, cold and dim.
They won't let him leave.
They dug jagged nails through his skull, through the bone.
The boy shrieked, "Just leave me alone!"
Bursting and coughing bloodcurdling cries.
Sticky warm blood ran to his sides.
He couldn't breathe.
His nostrils are smacked with a metallic smell;
His mind boomed and rang a death knell.
Finally
The struggling halts, exhausted, he lays still.
The room fills with silence and chills.
A tear rolled passed his ear dripping to the ground;
While nightmares lurk in this place unfound.
His eyes slowly closed.
He will never leave.
