Thunderstorms

Date: 8/16/2021

I had this dream months ago, never got time to write it down till now. I remember it was ominous, there was always a black shadow around and I was only able to see so far. I was in my old house and the house I lived in now, just it was almost mushed together with the difference in wallpaper and rooms. I was in a constant state of anxiety between the dark and the storm that was pounding outside. Even though I never saw anything I saw things I felt I shouldn’t. There was a unrecognizable stuffed animal I found and carried around with me, I couldn’t figure out if it was a bear or a person. The darkness felt suffocating and swallowed me everywhere I went, I searched for my mom and never found her always an empty room, I had no choice but go outside. I went out in the pouring rain and walked down the porch stairs. I then trailed the concrete pathway to the gravel drive way. There were no cars, I was alone with only the anxiety of someone watching me keeping me company as I lingered in the dark- hearing my own heartbeat.
