I had this dream/nightmare when I was in Prep...
---------------------------------------------------------------
I was sitting in the dull classroom next to my little brother, listening to what my mum and my teacher, Mrs Carmody, where discussing. It was school interview day.
An eerie orange light seeped through the partially closed blinds which covered the only window in the room. For an unknown reason, the whole room was dusty-brown in colour.
All of a sudden, a blood-curdling screech echoed through the corridor outside. It went on and on. In reality, I was now half awake because of how loud the screaming was - I pressed my fingers into my ears, but the screaming, the screeching ... it became louder and louder. Hot tears streamed down my face in my dream and in real life. I ground my teeth. I clenched my fists. It still grew louder.
Suddenly, the door of the class-room was kicked open - because of the strength of that one kick, the door shattered, sending small chunks of wood and splinters flying through the room. Mrs Carmody and my mum stopped short.
There, crouching beneath the frame of the door, was a cyclops. Its skin was a similar colour to the class-room walls. It had three toes on its feet and four claw-like fingers on its scab-covered hands. In fact, the cyclops's whole body was covered in warts and scabs. It had a short, stubby tail with horns and spikes on the end, as well as those same spikes on its back - running up its spine, to its neck, and forming a short crest on its head. But, the most terrifying thing about this creature was its blood-shot eye. The 'white' of this cyclops's eye was a creamy-yellow and its pupil was a deep maroon. The eye of this creature seemed to glow in the strange orange light. Luckily, the creature hadn't spotted us yet - it was picking up pieces of wood and chewing on them, as if it where tasting them.
My mum, Mrs Carmody, and Alec (my brother) shot toward a cupboard built into the wall. I ran after them, but they had already climbed in, and they slammed the door in my face. At the sound of the closing door, the monster whirled around to face me. The pupil of its eye lit up and turned red ...
My heart pattered in my chest, I felt like I was gonna faint. I didn't know why, but I grabbed as many school chairs as I could and built a sort of wall around my-self.
The creature gave a joy-filled scream, almost like a laugh ... I was trapped in the room with it, surrounded by a use-less 'wall' of school-chairs ... the taunting screech of the cyclops gave me a head-ache ... it stomped toward me, batted the chairs so to collapse the 'wall' ... then it grinned at me ... rotting yet sharp teeth gleamed in its mouth ... it licked its lips ... then reached for a chair. The monster gobbled down the chair in no time then reached for another.
It must think that chairs are humans ... and humans are chairs ... I've no idea why I though this ... but some how, I was right. I had a ... vision ... I was the cyclops ... but only for a few seconds ...
Three of the chairs had hid in a cupboard, but one got locked out. I thought this was hilarious. The chair that was locked out built a 'wall' around it of limp human bodies. I knocked the limp bodies away from the chair. It was shaking uncontrollably ...
The cyclops gobbled down yet another chair. I crept behind it ... tip-toeing toward the door ...

"Jess, wake up, it's ok..." my Nana shook me gently.
All just a dream ...
