My eyelids felt heavy like they were carrying the weight of the world on them. I need sleep, I won't sleep, and I cannot live without sleep. that's when I gave in and closed my eyes falling into a deep dead-like sleep. Is this what happiness feels like or is this a demon that has trapped me in my own dream and body. I sit there in a dark space like a dream that was recurring over and over again just sitting there thinking in my own mind. Then I jump as I hear a whisper like the wind was trying to say something to me I listen closely and I notice that someone or something is whispering my name. Kel must Sleep!!! Kel must sleep!!!!! KEL MUST SLEEP!!!!! The whisper gets louder and louder until I close my eyes and I awaken in a room with a single door. the room is dark, cold, and small I look down and I see a key lying at my feet. It's a silver key with carvings of a tree with arms as branches and hands as leaves and the body of the is like that of a woman there are two women on each side of the tree. As I examine the key I hear something jiggle I turn and face the door as I look at the door the jiggling of the doorknob gets more aggressive. I take a step closer towards the door and the jiggling stops I pause and look at the key and move closer to the door I press my heart up against the door and I hear a growl and then a bang-up against the door I jump back in shock. BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! A loud bang of something hitting the door with massive force. I clutch the key to my chest and I curl up in a corner of the room sobbing with my face buried in my chest yelling stop stop STOP then everything went silent I get up and pause to wipe my tears away slowly I walk towards the door I examine closely and notice on the door there is the keyhole. I look at the key and I see that the key has changed the women on the key carvings change facial expression and posture. The pretty woman's face is how worried-looking and bothered and she is staring directly at the door as if she knows what awaits behind it. the old woman's facial expression is now less old looking and she looks more elegant and sweet but she is frowning looking down and pointing at the door. I notice a big change as I look at the tree of hands all the hands on the tree are pointing at the door as if it is longing to behind the door signaling me to put the key in its proper place. I walk up to the door and I place the key in the door and I turn it I back up as a thump comes to form the door and the key continues to turn on its own the doorknob starts to jiggle and the banging starts again and it gets louder and louder I gasp and I fall to my knees covering my ears from the loud noise the door starts to open slowly I look up I and I gasp I open my mouth and try to scream but nothing comes out it was like my voice has gotten so small that it was gone I cover my mouth I push my body up against the wall not breaking eye contact with the door. I start to cry silently I stare at the door as it comes to a halfway stop I look and see that there is nothing there but darkness and whispers I put my hands over my chest because my heart starts the race as if it was gonna jump out my chest and run and leave me here to experience whatever lies beyond the door. is this fear I think to myself this is not a dream this is reality. I am frozen out of fear the room starts to get colder and darker. I feel a presence I'm not alone I whisper to myself I stand up shaking and letting the wall hold me up I walk forward and I stand in the middle of the room scared and mustering up the courage to walk through the door the I hear whispers I freeze to listen. Kel must give in! Kel must give in!! Kel must give in!!! The whisper gets louder to the point I can feel something dripping from my ear. I move my arm up to my ear and I wipe and I look at my arm and I see my blood freezing from the low temperature of the room I realize that I see something stand to the right of me in the room I start to shake.
