DREAM, CONFUSION, REALITY

My father was at work and my brother was on a business trip. For the last 10 years, this was the first time I was getting along with my mother and my small brother and we were playing together just like we did when I was small. It was the happiest day of my life. But my fate didn't accept those happy moments and suddenly there was an earthquake. All of us ran out of the house for our lives. After a few seconds, the earthquake was gone and we were re-entering our house. As we opened the door there was a bright light flashed in our house and a woman showed up in front of us. We tried asking about her but she never responded and was continuously moving towards me. My mother and I were totally scared so we attacked that lady in terror but it didn't give a scratch on her. Because of which we were startled and started screaming but no one came for help. And in the end, she caught me and as soon as she got near me, she exploded. She acted like a terminator sent for me.

After that incident, I woke up from my sleep. I was shivering with the terror of that dream or incident or whatever it was. It was 4 am in my clock and it was hard to stay in my room in that state so I went out for a walk. In my way, there were few guys dressed exactly like that lady in my dream. But I was relieved with the belief of it as a dream. Ignoring them, I went ahead. After covering a good distance, I realised that someone was following me. I turned back to take a look, there were those guys following me with a continuous slow pace. At first, I tried to talk to them but they all were just coming towards me silently just like that lady in the dream. I started running with my full potential to reach home before they reached me but, in a moment, they were all around me and my house. They were like a maze for me to escape and an impossible maze. I gave up my hope and lied down there on my knees, closed my eyes, started thinking of my family, started remembering all the good times I spent with my friends, remembered all the fights I got into with others, and finally remembered god and asked him to look after everyone while I am gone and opened my eyes to see the ending moment of my life with my naked eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes there was a flashy bright light, the same as one I saw in my dream. And there landed a man well dressed as a terminator in movies. He hung me with him and fly away from that crowd through a gripple rope. We ran towards my home, took my family and escaped in a car which he took out from one of his suitcases which he took out from his pocket.

My father was at his job and my brother was on a business trip, the same as in my dream. I thought it was a dream again, so I pinched myself but it hurt that time. And that guy who saved me and my family told me that it is all real. We need to escape these populated cities as soon as possible. On our way, we took my father and left the state. We all were terrified and slept in the car. After travelling for more than 24 hours we reach our destination. We were at a dream-like place with a thousand questions and we were starving like hell. We camped there, after having a meal, the questionnaire was started.
