My name is Robert.
You don't need to know the rest, mainly because there isn't much to say.
My life sucks, basically. Well… besides the days I work…
I work in a pharmacy at the local mall. Nothing too complex. Mostly stacking, stocktaking… sometimes I even get to talk to the customers… but not very often though, since I'm not big on that people person thing…
Well, as long as it gets me out of the house some afternoons, I don't really care.
As I said, my life sucks.
This particular night, it was my turn to lock up shop. I jumped, grabbing the gates (tat actually weren't too far over my head- I just liked to jump), pulling them down to the floor, then grabbing the keys from my pocket, beginning to lock the left side down. When I went to lock the right however…
"Roooooobiiiieee!" came the whine, and I looked up from locking the right side, grinning as I saw Amanda there, hands on her hips and glaring down at me from the other side of the gate.
"Yes, my lovely co-worker?" I asked, standing up and making her look at me.
"Lemme oouuut! You know I was in here… why do you do thaaaaat!"
"Hey, I didn't know anyone was in here" I contemplated just leaving her there…but, well… she's saved my life a few too many times for that. so… I unlocked the left side, lifting the gates just enough so she could slip out. When she did she turned to me, slapping my arm.
"You are so nasty! Why don't you try harder to be nice" she muttered, turning and walking away, slinging her school bag over her shoulder.
I shrugged, just smiling and finally finishing off my job, heading home and pocketing the keys.
I dreaded going home.

Thankfully, it was a good night.
Well, as good as nights can get.
I could hear mum crying in her room, which meant HE had already been and left.
HE… was my father. Bastard he is…
I went in, helping her slip on a fresh nightgown, then giving her some sleeping tablets to take. She took them, and I laid her down before leaving with her shredded clothes, dumping them, then going to my own room.
I lay down on my bed, sighing. When I could get sleep… I couldn't get to sleep, and when I desperately needed sleep…
Well, it would be one of those nights again.
I looked out the window, hearing that annoying house alarm going off outside, then closed my eyes and let my mind wander to the things I wanted to do when I was old enough.
Robert…I felt the wind move my hair, and I opened my eyes again…
My window was shut. And… the wind was coming from a black hole in the wall!
"What the-?" before I could say anything else, a ridiculously long arm shot out, grabbing my wrist and pulling me in with unbelievable strength. I screamed.
Hey, wouldn't you?

When I woke up… I was on a dirt path.
I instantly shot to my feet, looking around.
I saw fields of some kind of plant… but I couldn't tell what it was. I looked left, right… saw them happily swaying in the breeze… they looked like sugarcane, but… well… I couldn't tell.
Then I spotted someone kneeling on the dirt road, beside the grass-like plant, pulling what looked like weeds from it. I went over… that hair looked so familiar…
"Hello?"
Her head turned to look at me…. and I almost fainted.
"A-Anna?" I whispered, reaching for her… she was so close…
"ROBERT!" my head suddenly snapped up, off my pillow, and I turned to see my door blow open and…
HE stepped in.
It must have been a dream.
Because this… right now… was my nightmare.
