A reoccurring dream I had that I just had to Write about.
    Its pitch black as the dream begins and I’m running through what seems like a forest. The branches and leaves are brushing past my arms and face but it doesn't slow me down. I can't see what’s ahead of me but its moving fast and I hear the snapping of the twigs under its feet.

    The moon is the only light out and I use it as a guide so I can find my way back after I catch what ever it is. There something in my hands that’s light but hard and I use it to clear my path as I race forward into the dark bush. Suddenly I realize I can't hear the movement ahead any more so I stop and listen for movement while scanning side to side with my weapon. The object in my hands is an m16?!
      Suddenly I hear the heavy breathing to my 11 o’clock and dash off towards the sound. "Got you what ever you are" I think to myself and l feel the smile come
across my face. All of a sudden..... Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat... I hear the sound
of machine gun fire to my right and dive to the ground seeking cover. As I'm going down I realize I’m still falling for what seems like forever before hitting the dirt. As I land, I roll to a corner of the thirty foot hole I just fell into.

I scan the hole quickly but see nothing in the blackness and then aim up towards the mouth of the ditch. I hear the shuffling of the leaves before seeing the silhouettes of six figures with glowing red eyes staring down at me. They said nothing, but just stood there unwavering in the silence with the bright moon behind them. I reached slowly for a grenade on my belt but then I hear a deep growl and realize something’s in the hole with me. Then I felt its teeth bite my face and I wake up.
