Birds circle overhead. A corpse lies at my feet. I don't know how it got there. I don't know how I got there. Everything around me seems to be swirling in on itself. I hear a howl in the near woods. Is it wolves? The world exerts a pressure on my whole body; yet, as I stand there, my head feels light. I throw up on the ground from anxiety. I hear the howls again. I turn from the woods to run, and hear something running behind me. I scream for help as the corpse grabs my neck from behind.

Unlike my other "Dream" drabbles, this actually was a dream (instead of just a weird experiment with the form I suddenly came up with like the others) that I had about a week ago. As I'm sure you can understand, I woke up spooked at the point where this story ends.

I'm not surprised that you woke up spooked after that ordeal, Brandon!

Yeah, that one really freaked me out. Especially considering that most of my dreams seem to be about the most boring parts of my everyday life.
