Happening

“Sitting in a chair.. I gripped the handles.. they are soft but sharply cold.. I don’t know where I am.. I looked around.. the walls of the room are made of wood.. I can feel the air from the conditioner hit the back of my neck.. am in the middle of the room sitting in a chair.. there is a desk before me with a monitor, keyboard and a few cables on it.. the table looked dirty.. there were two doors on either side of a window in the room to the right of me.. both had an exit sign on them..I tried to looking through the window.. it was dark.. pitch black.. It seemed like a lab.. something like a working place which is not presently use.. I heard a sound coming through one of those doors.. too afraid to get up I turned my head towards the door.. I could hear whispers from the door.. I tried to concentrate on what they are saying.. but suddenly my head started to hurt and the whispers became louder.. so louder that I can hear them even after closing my ears tightly.. the headache was so excruciating that I can’t take it anymore.. and the pain seemed to increase with the sound of whispers.. Unable to control the pain.. I shouted.. Everything went silent for a minute.. no whispers.. no pain.. I slowly got up from the chair and started walking towards one of the doors.. Interested to know where I was.. I walked towards the window.. I cant see anything outside.. when I turned back.. the air conditioner stopped.. the room is now silent.. dead silent.. I can just hear my heart beat and feel my breath going inside out.. I am shivering now.. its cold.. there suddenly was a loud thunder.. a flash of lightning.. I turned around.. rain drops started knocking slowly on the window glass.. I can see my reflection in the window glass through the dripping rain water.. I walked slowly towards the door.. too afraid to go inside.. even more afraid to stay in the room.. I walked into the room.. it was a little dark.. I looked around to find the light switch.. I looked into the middle of the room.. there were no one.. still I have this weird feeling of someone else being present.. around me.. looking at me.. talking about me.. talking to me.. I started walking into the middle of the room.. there was a sudden change in the rooms atmosphere now.. its like someone are moving around me.. I can’t see them.. I just can feel someone moving from here to there.. around me now....i smell of new clothes.. now chocolate milk.. jasmines.. cigar.. the aromas just passing around me.. I tried closing my eyes and tried to calm myself.. didn’t work.. I ran from this room to another.. this room seemed vacant.. when I tried to walk into this room.. I tripped myself and fell down.. I heard the laugh of little girls.. I turned around to see where its coming from.. it slowly died away.. I got up.. my heart was beating faster than ever.. walked towards the wall yet again.. to find a light switch.. after rubbing my hand against the wall for a couple of times.. finally found it.. when in turned it on.. the light was so blinding that I cant see anything except white space around me.. I shut my eyes closed and buried my head in my hands unable to take the brightness.. I turned the switch off.. it was all dark again.. I am trying to think how I ended up here.. whenever I thought my head started to hurt.. My body began sweating now.. I can feel the sweat dripping down my back.. I stood up from the ground and walked towards the door.. I can finally see some light coming through the door.. I walked towards the door.. towards the light.. I kept walking.. it seemed close.. but am unable to reach it.. the faster I try to go to it.. the more I feel its going away from me.. I was walking and walking.. but am still not there.. what is this?.. whats happening to me? .. it was all silent around me.. I am panting for breath now.. tired of running.. I collapsed on my knees.. suddenly there was a sound.. blasting through the silence.. I sprung back sitting on my bed.. and shut the alarm off.. it was 6 in the morning.. am sitting on my bed.. I collapsed back on to the bed.. relieved it was just a dream.. Am just too afraid to close my eyes again..” .. Like everyday he wrote about this dream in his dairy and went to take a shower. He was a real estate agent, he drove to the trailer which he is going to sell to a client. He drove there earlier than the meeting time as usual and started looking around the trailer. He opened the door and walked inside. His agency’s information is that a family used to live in this trailer. It felt so familiar to him.. as if he was here before.. he saw a table with an envelope laid under a photo frame turned upside down.. he turned the photo frame and saw the picture of a family.. a man with a cigar in his mouth.. two little girls.. and a women with her arms wrapped around the girls.. she has flowers in her hair. He set the frame aside and opened the envelope.. there was a folded paper inside it.. when he opened and read whats inside.. he fell down in panic and threw the letter away.. he heard little girls laughs from the walls.. he got up and ran out of the trailer.. the letter read “What if your dream was real”.
