Odd Dreams
Another odd little dream I'd had

****

There was an old man in the dream. He wore overalls and had a farmers tan. His back huched over from his old age. I could just barely see his face, but I could hear the knocking. My partner and I were asleep in our room, peacefully asleep. I'd heard the knocks so very loud, almost cracking against the door like thunder during a severe storm. I was jolted out of sleep and asked my partner what was going on. He mumbled nothing and went back to sleep. The old man was still knocking at the door rattling the table in our room adjacent to the door. I held my breath when it got silent. Suddenly, a SLAM from outside the door caused my heart to skip several beats. I gasped in shock seeing a hole placed in the wall and a cane sticking through into our room. The old man had just slammed so hard against the wall outside the room that he'd created a hole.
I turned to my partner and tugged at his arms Pleading with him to awaken. He wouldn't budge at all. I turned him over and called out his name frantically as my heart beat rapidly inside my chest.
No response.
The terror that ran through my very veins was so icy cold. My skin turned pale as I averted my gaze from my partner and back to the hole within the wall.
To My absolute horror, I heard another thundering BANG against the bedroom door. Then silence.
Suddenly I heard the words "I See You", and his eye looked into the hole.
I felt I couldn't breathe. My whole body was shaking like a dog in the freezing snow.
The door handle began to twist open from the outside.
And that's when I woke up.
