dream ✪ 07
Warnings: Death. A dead body hanging from a post.
Effects: An eerie, foreboding feeling suddenly switching to fear and shock.
The rain fell long and hard through out the quiet town of Inaba. The raindrops pattering loudly against the asphalt and the roofs of the shopping district as people continued in their dreamless slumber, unknowing of what tomorrow would bring for them. Many do not even think about what the future holds, others assume it would be their usual routines, a few hope for great changes and opportunities. But these expectations remain unheeded as Mother Nature continued to cry down from the heavens.
Finally, the weather simmers down as day breaks and the sun rises, pouring light from behind the clouds. The only reminder of the rain is the cool fog that hangs in the morning air.
The residents get up and begin going about their day, whether it be opening shop, preparing for school or heading out to do errands. They continued on, never once moving their gaze more than eye level as they went throughout the day. At least not until a loud shout is heard from the edge of the district.
"Look up there!"
"Another one? But wasn't the killer caught?"
"Could they be running free again?"
The commotion grew as gossip spread like wildfire, the rumors twisting the story further and further until nothing of its original state remained. It carried throughout the small town from one person to another without any sign of dying out soon.
Eventually, it reached a home situated at the very heart of the district, owned by the grandmother of the town's local television icon. The girl just finished changing into her uniform when she heard the news. She excused herself from the table, walking back to her room. Making her way to the window, she pulled the curtains aside despite her better judgment, curious to whether the scene could be seen from where she stood.
A gasp escaped her lips.
It had been quite a distance from her home, but that shadow hanging from the electric post was unmistakably that of a human figure. Its limbs tangled in the wire from the post as those that weren't trapped hung lifelessly at their side, its arms as if reaching to be back on the ground once more. There was no visible blood but from the angle the body hung from, it was easy to tell that the person had suffered greatly. The girl visibly swallowed as she quickly drew the curtains and turned her back against the wall. Her breathing turned shallow affected by the shock of the scene.
They weren't kidding...
Slowly, she slid against the wall, down to the floor, burying her face in her hands as the fear that she hadn't felt in so long returned, swallowing her whole until she finally fell apart and broke down into tears.
Rise awoke with a start, her breathing just as shallow as it had been in the dream. For a while she tried to calm herself only to realize that things had been playing out too familiarly to her liking. Especially with the heavy rain from the night prior and the fog not too long ago. She threw her covers of herself, quickly making her way towards the window and knocking the Dreamberry off her nightstand.
The video dimmed but the device picked up her voice once last time before the feed ended. "It was just a dream..."
