Nightmare

    A small soul sat weeping in the corner,Tears streaming down her face which  gently glided over her mascara stained cheeks. Her eyes where glossy and filled with fears, and her body was trembling uncontrollably, every nerve became paralyzed with fear. I will myself to stay in the shadows  for I couldn't show her it was I who caused her this pain. I sat for hours watching her as she jerked at every sound and was alarmed by every movement. I shouldn't have scared her so badly. Though I had too or I would be killed. I sat still starring at her for another hour, then I began to leave. I heard her voice call out fearfully saying," Who are you and why have you been watching me." I didn't turn around I couldn't, she would be scared if she saw my face. The women again spoke this time a little more demanding," Who are you and why have you been watching me." I had to turn  I had to let her see me or else she would give my kind away to the police. I slowly began to turn until our eyes locked. I could see  myself in her glassy eyes and I watched an my figure became her fears. "You were in my nightmares." She squeaked out. I took in her words slowly letting them sink into my mind, trying to find an answer for her. Finally I spoke," No ma'm I was not in your nightmare, I was the nightmare. And with that I had to leave. I sunk back into the shadows emerging myself into darkness processing what I had said. I had told her the truth I was a nightmare, literally. I wasn't a disabled dream or a scary thought at sleep, I was a nightmare and that is what I would always be.
