She couldn't find the door. Where was the door? Caitlin ran down the hall running her hands over the rough exterior of the walls looking for a door in the darkness, but it wasn't there.
The hallway ended and Caitlin had no recourse but to turn around and head back the way she came. Blackness surrounded her and Caitlin felt she was even breathing the darkness into her lungs. She came to the end of the hallway and banged on the walls. "Someone let me out! Please, let me out!"
"In here," A ghostly voice called to her from origins unknown. "In here, Caitlin." Caitlin whirled around to see a black door with a shiny gold doorknob. Anxious just to get out of the hallway, Caitlin entered the room and went through the looking glass like a curious Alice.
Beyond the door, Caitlin found herself in a large dining area. Instead of her T-shirt and jeans, she was wearing an emerald green spaghetti strap gown. Why was she in a gown?"
"Caitlin," The same voice from earlier called her name. "Caitlin."
A door across the dining area opened and Caitlin's stomach began to hurt. She had been here before, hadn't she, in this same situation? Why didn't she have a good feeling about the door opening?
"No!" Caitlin swirled around and the door slammed shut in her face. "Let me out!" She screamed and banged her hands against the door.
Caitlin practically jumped out of the bed. She wiped the sweat from her brow and tried to steady her breathing. She had never had a dream like that before. Caitlin grabbed the phone and dialed without thinking. The phone rang busy. She hung up and dialed another number.
"Hello," A sleepy voice came over the line.
"It's me. Can I come over?" Caitlin asked in a whispy voice.
