A man stood in front of a large window, dark clouds gathering just outside. He wore black robes with his hands folded behind his back. He was bald and his head was a pasty white. A strip of black fabric lay diagonally across his head, marking the presence of an eyepatch on his face.
Suddenly the double doors behind him opened and a woman in a receptionist's outfit, ran in.
"Sir," she said, panting slightly. "We found her."
The man at the window turned, and he did in fact have an eyepatch. "What about it?"
"It too." The receptionist confirmed.
"And him?" The man asked.
"Not yet, sir. But we're working on it."
"We'll work harder!" The man snapped, sending the the receptionist scurrying out of the room, the day double doors slamming behind her.
Then suddenly the man turned and faced me, and looked me straight in the eye, his one red eye glowing with hate.
I woke up from my dream in a cold sweat.
