No.2

i walked out of a 2 dimensional doorway

onto some steps that lead to an open field or yard

that was completely empty except for a small group of people

huddled in a circle off to the left side

as i walked down the steps i notice i was carrying in my hand a large butcher knife

i knew instantly i was going to have to use it.

as i stepped out onto the open grassy space i suddenly felt fear

i knew whatever i was to use that knife on , was here

somewhere

i was scared , not knowing what or how was going to attack

and scared that even with this weapon i still might fail

for i had never had to kill someone or use a knife before to defend myself

as i took a few steps further into the yard

i noticed two children skipping around me

i looked and saw they were mine!

still fearful of whatever it was coming i tried to shew them off to the side

by the group of people

one skipped off , but the oldest walked over next to me

my eyes were scanning the grounds but a glint of metal caught the corner of my eye

i looked down to see my oldest child holding a large knife too!
"where did you get that!? you know your not supposed to play with knives"

i said sternly to her

"mom im going to help you with it" she said

i told her no that it was not her place to fight with me

i told her to put the knife away and go play

and so she wandered off toward the group

just then a short distance off i saw him

not sure if he was human but he looked more of some

mad character i had once seen on the labyrinth

he was dancing and moving about wildly

almost laughing

i gripped my knife hard and swung it in his direction when he lunged

but he was fast and moved back quickly missing it completely

he laughed and taunted me

knowing i wasnt prepared for this.

just as the fear got the worst i saw a book lying on the grass over to the side

i wandered over to it

the character walked over as well but i was too enthralled in reading to care

the pages were open

and whatever was written on them he saw too

we both suddenly knew that a fight to the death wasnt necessary

that there was some other way

i felt slight relief

and woke up
