A few nights ago, I had a nightmare.

I was alone at night walking home from my night shift around two in the morning. I heard leaves rustling behind me. I gazed over my shoulder every time I heard it. Then I noticed something staring at me from behind a bush. I told myself it was just my imagination but I didn’t think it was. I picked up my pase hoping I could make it home before it catches up with me. It kept following me, hiding behind objects by the side of the road. I noticed it was wearing some sort of amulet around its neck. Finally my house came into view. I walked up the stairs leading to my front porch as I grabbed my the keys out of my pocket. I just managed to unlock the door as I heard it’s footsteps slowly climbing the stairs behind me. I jumped inside and locked the door. I was safe. I was pacing around my kitchen thinking about what had happened when I heard a heavy knock on my front door. I hesitated to go near it. I decided to glance through the peekhole without making any noise. There was nobody there. But there was the same amulet that the creature was wearing sitting on the doormat. I quietly opened the door and grabbed the amulet. I shut the door quickly and locked once again. I noticed I got a terrible migraine when I picked up the amulet.

I woke up at that moment.

I slowly rose from my bed thinking about my nightmare. I felt a cold spot on my chest. I looked down and saw the amulet resting around my neck. My heart began to race. I was terrified. I decided to keep it on and see what happens. I got ready and left for work.

After my shift was over it became midnight I got in my car and started to drive home. On my watch back I saw more of the same creature. At least five of them headinv toward my car. I drove home as fast as I could. I pulled into my driveway and ran from the car to my door. I struggled to get the keys in the door as I heard stomping coming up the stairs. I just opened the door in time. I locked the door and went straight for my bed. I couldn’t sleep. I kept hearing whispers in a low voice saying, “Give us the amulet.”

I finally drifted off to sleep.

When woke up I knew I had to bury the amulet in the woods so these creatures stop bothering me. I got dressed, went to my garage and grabbed my shovel. There was a forest across the street at the front of my house. I entered and ran for about ten minutes into the woods. I began to dig a hole. I placed the amulet at the bottom and covered it up. My migraine went away. I ran back home and got ready for work.

When I arrived at my workplace I had to tell someone about everything that happened.

I sat down and decided to tell my friend beside me, “I know you’re going to think I’m crazy but listen to me.” I went on to explain the whole story.

He didn’t seem to be surprised. But what he said was what left me in shock. “Finally I found you, we were looking for the amulet. And you’re going to regret ever taking it!”
