"You cannot escape this time."
Lanni looked up at the scary-looking man towering above her. His eyes were bloodshot with anger while his nose kept twitching as he closed in on her. She stumbled and fell to the ground on her backside. The man pointed a gun at her forhead.
"But why?" Lanni asked. "Why do you want to kill me?"
"Because you should be dead!" He spat through huge gritted teeth, then he pulled the trigger.
Lanni started awake. Her chest heaved up and down as her heart raced. She raised her hand and touched her forehead. She was sweaty but there was no blood, no bullet and when she pinched herself, she felt pain. So she was alive. It was just a nightmare.
What scared her the most was not the man's face and eyes. Neither was it the fact that there were dead bodies not too far away. It was that in her dream, that girl who was supposed to her was not in the slightest bit scared. How creepy...
