Running.

I find myself running so fast, looking behind me all the time. Someone is there.

Someone is gaining on me. I want to get away but can't seem to quite get there. If I could just make it to that building I would be fine, to the underground parking garage and to my car.

But they are still gaining, why me? What did I do?

There's my car.

BANG!

I bolt upright in bed, sweating heavily and panting so fast, my heart pounding like it's ready to leap out of my chest and do a marathon of its own. It was a dream! the same dream I have been having nearly every night for the last 3 months, but why?

I shake my head and take a few deep steady breaths to slow my racing heart and breathing, leaving my bed to go find a bottle of water from the fridge.

The ice cold water slide nicely down, cooling my body and slowing my heart more to it's normal steady pace.

'Why me?' I thought aloud, 'why do I keep having the same dream? And for this long?'.

Knowing I wasnt going to get an answer, I wondered over to the window in the living area of my appartment. I glanced at the clock as I went,

'4:30am, christ no point going back to bed now as I will be up soon anyway!' I glanced out the window as somthing caught my eye.

what was that?

I peeked back out through my curtains to see if anything was there lurking in the shadows

Couldn't have been!

Could it?

There was nothing there. I swear I saw someone watching me!
