It is the strangest thing ever happened to me! I said once, I’m not the best at telling stories. However, I warn you that this one isn’t for faint hearted.
One of our colleague was absent from work for a while. Me and a friend decided to pay him a visit to make sure that he is doing well. We never believed the rumors about his kid.
We arrived there. Things seemed OK except for our colleague who looked pale. “Everything is under control!” were the words that he kept repeating often then…
Insisting on serving us coffee, he left to the kitchen next to where we were sitting. He had already informed us that no one else is here; his wife left the country with their kid! When he entered the kitchen, we heard a loud noise breaking the surrounding silence… Something big had fallen on the ground!
My friend looked at me surprisingly and nod his head as to go to the kitchen to check up… But, suddenly, we saw a kid coming out with a knife in his hand and it seems it has blood on it…
Instead of heading to the kitchen, we ran in the opposite side… It seems that we were panic and forgot where the entrance is. The window was the only thing that is facing us. Without hesitation, my friend jumped out of the window and I was trying to follow… but…. upon jumping, I fell off my bed and woke up!!
What a nightmare!!! hehehe
Many thanks for Peter to allow me using his photo:

😆 Very good story!!
I’m very glad to see a comment from you, Marcie. It means a lot to me. Thank you very much, my friend.
Haha! You got me! And I love that you used a Little Fears photo!
Thank you my friend. Yes, I love his photos. Simple and scary. Somehow, my post was inspired by this photo 🙂
Too much spicy food late at night?? 😀
Hehehe… Yes, Janice. We have good Indian restaurants here. I’m not into that because spicy food isn’t my cuisine 😀
I hate dreams like that!
My worse dreams unfortunately have one foot based in reality. They’re the ones where I’m up to my eyeballs in a gunfight, or pinned down my machine gun fire. And I discover that I’m out of ammo, or worse yet, lying in the mud in my PJs.
Then I spend the next minute or two trying to separate reality from the dream.
That’s totally strange. Yes, they are based on reality in someway… And it takes time to realize they were dreams. The worse is when we keep memorizing them for hours or days! Thank you, William and I wish you always happy and sweet dreams.
It’s called PTSD. Not as bad as it used to be, but still, once in a while, it reminds me of the things I’ve lived through.
I just searched about PTSD. I’ve learned something new now. It’ll become ok with time. Writing (talking) might be of a help. Wish all the best, William.
That was terrifying! 🙂
Yes, it was, Dee. But one feels happy when wake up and realize it was a dream! Thank you…
I bet! Very happy indeed 🙂
😉
This made me LOL! You really had me thinking you were in terrible danger! 😀 Little Fears blog is one of my favourites!
Little Fears is wonderful blog, isn’t it! Thank you for your concern and glad it made you laugh. That’s the point.
Good story
Thank you for your compliment, Yoly. Wish you happy and sweet dreams – always.
Awwww thank you Mohamad.
Hahaaaaa…. I thought I was in for a really good fright, Mohamad.
I do hope you didn’t hurt yourself falling from the bed?! 🙂
I’m safe. I was exaggerating, Carolyn, for writing purposes! I’m no good writer though! However, I’m glad it could draw a smile on your face.
That was a scary-funny dream 🙂 And I thought that picture was familiar 🙂
Glad you like it, Juvie. The picture (somehow) inspired this story… I like this blog. Wish you always sweet dreams
And you thought Halloween was over! Cute story, Mohamad.
Thank you Franci. Glad you like it. I’d love to watch Halloween at a small village some day. I also wish to be invited for Thanksgiving dinner some day too 😀
May all your wishes come true, Mohamad.
