Go back to sleep
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The footsteps following me sounded closer. I ran through the empty corridors of the hospital, my heart pounding with terror.
I turned a corner and stopped short. I had reached a dead end.
I sat on the ground and started crying from fear
The footsteps were getting louder, and louder, sounding closer, and closer,

Until it was in front of me...
I feared to open my eyes...

Until I woke up

I woke up sweating, and screaming, my mom ran into my room and hugged me...

For I have been having that nightmare for weeks...
About a man, who just wanted to catch me...

The next night I had another nightmare
I was in the same hospital, but unlike any other night, there were no footsteps... It was quiet,
I started walking in the hospital halls it felt like it was never gonna end,
Until... There was an open door, I was scared to see what was inside...
Just then I heard screaming from the door
I looked at the ground and there was a pool of blood dripping/flowing from inside, I got scared... I wanted to run, but I tought that I would make too much noice, so I sat there, next to the door, eyes wide open... Telling myself it's alright... You'll soon wake up, it's just another nightmare...

Then... The screaming stopped, I looked up

And saw a man, I finally saw his face...
"There you are!" he said, sounding like Penny wise

*if U don't know what pennh wise is he is a clown from the movie IT*

I finally saw his face so close! I scream...

And continued the scream in real life, I was in my mother's arms...
"shhhh, its okay" she said...
"what's wrong darling?" the SAME man in my nightmare said... But now with a normal voice... "it's okay... Daddy's here!" he said trying to calm me down knowing it didn't work he walked away with a sad expression on his face...

Right from that moment, I realized that, the man in my dreams is my father... I remembered that he went away for work months ago... And I never saw his face ever since...

"mom, when did dad get here?" I asked mom... Not knowing that dad had finally come home...

Mom replied "honey... Dad died in an airplane accident..."

"then who was that?" I asked scared...
"NobOdy" my *father* came back with a horrifying look,

He was smiling, but his mouth was so long and it reached his ear...

"Go back to sleep!" he said...
