TONIGHT
I was too terrified to look behind me. My heart palpitated. I wished to run, but my feet grew heavy. I was scared to even think of anything except running, suddenly, I couldn't feel anything, my feet were numb and my head felt very light. I fell to the ground and my fear increased as I thought that he can come to this place chasing me at any moment now. Someone picked me up, I struggled to let me out of his grasp, I was very much sure it was him. I lost the memory of everything that happened after that, so the people who found me at the bank of the Han river told me that they had found me lying on the river bank unconsciously. The people from that village were very friendly but something about them creeped me out, it was the fact that no one said no to anything I asked for but they fought with each other on any topic. When I told them that I'm a lot healthier than before and that I wish to go back to my city, they all tried to stop me and they started attacking me with whatever was there in their hands, be it peaches or utensils or anything!! I was scared and I passed out again. when I next woke up, I was in my bedroom and there was no sign of any change, when I asked my parents about it they said that it's just been 7 hours since I fell asleep and I just woke up. It all was very confusing as it all never felt like a dream to me, I'm still thinking about why did something like that appear in my dream and why it felt so real.
