The Man
Waking up shivering and fearing for my life on a nightly basis, that's what Nightmares are to me. The reoccurring ones are the worst. Each time, an unfamiliar face comes to my home with a transfixing look on his face. I run towards the door to close it, but he's faster. Sometimes he hurts me, sometimes he rapes me, sometimes he simply stares at me. Each time is worse than the last. And each time I wake up, I'm relieved to know it was just a bad, bad dream.
But then,
It happens -
Again.
