Twilight Vision

Let This Be a Dream

"What? Why am I here?" I asked with a blank stare. "Well why don't you ask yourself that? Why are you here?" A man asked as he walked around the dark room. I wanted to believe this wasn't real. Was it? I don't know. Now I can never tell a dream from reality. And I can't tell anyone about these dreams because they'd think I'm crazy...

After all, everyone always does just assume that I'm insane, no matter what I really think or do. I wished they'd just understand. I sigh heavily and try to search the area around me. I feel a cool breeze brush across my arms and face, but I'm not sure where it came from.
"Aren't you going to answer my question? Why are you here?" The male voice repeats to me in a stern and spine tingling voice. I take in a deep breath and finally decide to answer.
"I don't know. Who are you?" I respond in a voice that I try to keep strong for the effect.
"I'm sure you'll find out soon Lauren." He responds in a voice that scares me even further. I shake my head and search the darkness around me and find a silhouette of a man standing in the distance behind me.

"How long is soon? Because I'm not waiting here forever..." I said. I then felt a strong grip on my shoulder.

"If you don't want to wait here forever, then we'll go somewhere else." The other man grimly smiled and pulled me to an even darker room. I tried scanning the area and saw a broken bed, not useful at all.

"Hope you have fun." He smiled and shut the metal door. Before I could say anything he locked the door and no light showed in the room. I shook my head and tears filled my eyes. I slid down and buried my face in my knees. I cried till my face burned. I was stuck in a dark room, no food, no water, no light, no NOTHING! I was scared and angry. I'd hoped this was another dream. But I could never tell...

Reality has become such a confusing thing for me lately. I cry with my face lying in my knees and my arms wrapped around my head as if something would attack my head if I didn't. I have nothing anymore, I'm not sure if that's what I wanted or not, but it's the truth. I guess the reality of it just was shocking to me. I'm not sure what to do, it's like I became helpless at the first sign of danger, but that's how I am; how I've always been. I sigh heavily between sobs until I finally decide to lift my head to face the world once again.

I slowly get up and walk to the door, trying to open it. My weak arms were nothing compared to the metal door. I pulled harder but still managed to get nothing out of my strength. I became so frustrated that I kicked the door and actually made a dent. I was surprised by myself. I kicked the door again, trying to bust it down. Didn't work.... I fell to the cold cement in exhaustion.
