"I shouldn't have gone there."

I was trying to find my way out of the dark parking lot on my bike. I rode around for a while, but I couldn't find the exit or anyone. Then I reached the end of the parking lot, a dark and deep place.

"Is that it?" I thought, got off my bike, and slowly walked in. But a woman peeked out from a small door in the corner and stared at me. My whole body went numb, but I managed to turn around, get on my bike, and dash to the other side.

The sound of her heels didn't fade and kept following me. I pedaled like crazy. Then I saw the door to my room in the darkness. I threw my bike away, burst into the room, and hid in the corner. I desperately wished nothing would happen.

Click. It opened the door and came in. It sniffed and looked around, then lunged at me like a beast. I was choked and couldn't scream. It pressed down on me and shrieked in a voice that tore apart my throat.

"Who are you! Let me see your face!"

Then I woke up from a nightmare, paralyzed. "Oh, it wasn't over yet..." Usually, I wouldn't open my eyes when I had a nightmare, but this time I opened them without realizing it. A black object pressed down on my neck and yelled at me to show my face. "I might die," I panicked in terror.

How long did I suffer...?

The cat woke me up and I was finally able to break free. I was dazed for a while, unable to tell if it was a dream or reality.
