Nightmares
I hate them. I hate them very much. I hate them more when they're like the one I had last night. Just one. But it felt like it lasted for days.
It started off, I was visiting my mom. Whenever I visit my mom at her house in my dreams, it's always at the last house I lived with her at. So I'm walking up the street and like normal when I dream about her, there are kids playing everywhere, only this time, it's a lot more crowded. I finally get up to moms and as we're talking, we notice a dark purple cloud coming towards us. It started off in the sky miles in front of us, but as it moved towards us, it slowly sank. So much so that by the time it got to us, it was just over our heads by a few feet. As it went by, kind of fast and somehow through her house as if it wasn't there to land in her back yard, I noticed that the purple cloud-stuff was only in a u shape, and that nestled in the bowl of the u and out to the tip of the cloud-stuff was a huge transparent crystal that was tinted blue. Inside the crystal was a huge skull. It had all of our attention as it went by. Once it was past and we could see the other side, there was the body of a Pterodactyl caught in the crystal, just behind the skull. The skull was a human one, but it was easily as big as a man's body. I don't know what it was from. Anyway, from there, it jumped to our apartment, only it wasn't placed right. It was similar to the one we live in now, but a lot nicer. We were inside and had been inside with the girls all day and from the impression I got, for a few days. We knew there was a huge storm coming in, like, hurricane, tornado, something huge like that. A really, really bad storm. Some guy came in, great big, burly man, but we knew him. I never saw his face that I can remember so I don't know who it was. His body doesn't match anyone I know though. Anyway, he was covered in rain and really wind-blown. I don't remember what he said, but he said something that caused us to look outside. The building across the street from us, it was a wreak. It was a grey, 3 story building and the top story had the balconies and at least half of the units all torn off. Not individually, like chunks out of the building, but in a straight line along the building. I could see the people and the broken furnishings from each of the units. The people were taking the bare minimum of their belongings and leaving the apartments. In the corner unit was someone I knew, and I called over to her, asking her if she was alright. I don't know who it was, but she said she was. We went back inside and I caught sight as I turned that our building, to the right of our apartment, had the same thing, a floor or two lower, and only on a couple units, not along the whole building. We were told we had to evacuate and follow the burly guy who came in. We got some stuff and the girls packed and went with him. I don't remember the trip, we were just there. It was a huge metal building. I never saw the whole thing at once, just the different rooms and hallways that I was in at different times. I found out that somehow the Pterodactyl had got out of the crystal and was attacking us. No one could do anything about it, though the important people were always holed up in one of the rooms, trying to find something to do about it. My mom was there and Allison and Chelsea too. We were separated from the kids, they were all being taken care of in this one area. I went there to visit a lot. The one time I was there, all the kids were there, we were crawling under the table and playing and I saw a bomb attached under the table, I started to leave the area to get someone to stop it but it went off. My girls, all 3 of them, were in the childrens area. I went to mom, upset, and found out that the powers that be had decided it was better to murder all the innocent children quickly than have the Pterodactyl take them and eat them alive. I could understand the reasoning, but at the same time, that left them no chance for survival. After that, the Pterodactyl started attacking the building we were at. It managed to get in and it holed up in one of the rooms. I guess it liked it or something because it'd come out, do a fly-by attack on us in the building or on the city and then go back to that room. We spent a long time like that, and during that time, Harley and Allison both died in attacks. There was just me and my mom left. I mean, there were hundreds of people in the building, but of my family, there was just me and my mom. We bonded a lot, and it was good. And then she decided she was responsible for all this happening and that she had to be the one to kill it. I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen. She went in to the Pterodactyl's room, and after a long time of hearing nothing but fighting sounds, it went quiet. Someone opened the doors and found that the Pterodactyl was dead. All I saw was that my mom was dead. She had killed it, but it had killed her too. I left the building, since the danger was gone, and finally people were coming in from other cities to help us. I was just wandering the streets aimlessly, caught in a suicidal depression. I can remember how empty I felt, how alone I felt. Even writing it, I can feel it.
I couldn't and still can't shake that feeling, that loss. I hope never to feel it for real.
