It's More Than Just a Nightmare

I awoke to deafening screams and something cascading down my cheek, slowly dripping down my neck. My eyes fluttered open. It was dark, with the exception of a flickering red light in the distance. My heart was just about to leap out my chest. "Oh God....please...." I lifted my hand to touch my face, but the realization that my hands were restrained behind my back struck me like a hammer to a nail, dead center. A voice rang through my head, "Don't worry child...it'll only hurt a lot."
