Where am I? Why is everything so dark? I'm cold and scared, but what? I don't see or hear anything, but I'm terrified. My body is shaking. I'm slowly trying to get used to the darkness, but my eyes still can't see anything. Desperate and trembling with fear, I feel for my surroundings. That feeling of uncertainty is scary. I try to feel something with my hands, but they only reach for emptiness. I carefully take a step forward, hoping to find out where I am. I want to get out of the cold and the dark. I accelerate my steps and finally want to go back into the light. But before I can find out anything about this terrifying place, I hear a noise. I stop abruptly. Suddenly my heart starts beating even faster. I hear steps that shouldn't be far away. They are getting closer and closer. I was about to raise my voice and ask who is there, but at the same time I feel that a danger is approaching.My body is shaking again. I am frozen knowing that the person is up to no good. Now the steps are getting faster and louder. Oh my God! What should I do? I'm scared and my legs just won't move. Suddenly, as if electrified, I start running. I don't know where to, the main thing is to get away from this person. I hear her steps accelerate and she also starts to run. Panic seizes me and I run into the unknown even faster, but that's better than being caught up by the person. For a long time I have been walking through the darkness and it seems to never end. I am amazed that I can run so fast. My lungs hurt a lot, but I don't care. I just want to get away from the darkness and the danger that haunts me. Faster, faster, it goes through my mind. I feel how my strength is leaving me and I am slowing down. I hear in horror the person's footsteps getting louder.She's getting closer and closer. I say to myself again: Faster! But my legs don't want to listen to me, they are just too tired. The steps get louder and louder. Now my end has come. It's too late, I can't go on. I am already looking forward to my end. The person is only a few steps away from me now. It's over. I would have loved to know who would do something to me, but my eyes only see black. Black as death. I'm taking one last step forward. Suddenly I stop breathing. My feet step into nowhere. No floor. My body falls forward. There's nothing I can do about it because I've shifted my weight too much onto the foot. I feel the other foot leave the ground. I'm falling down My stomach spasms. Any minute I'll hit somewhere and break all my bones. Yes, I face death. I close my eyes and let myself be drawn into the depths - and into death.The end is near ... Suddenly I am torn from the darkness. I flinch. I open my eyes and realize that I am in my room. My body is covered in sweat and I breathe very quickly. Now I realize it was just a dream. No, actually a nightmare. At the same moment a question arises in me: Who was the person?
