I woke up
Tied to a chair
Constricted by ropes
My family was there
They were also tied down
They couldn't move, but I was facing them
A shadow appeared behind them
It was holding a knife
I couldn't see its face
My vision blurry from tears
I knew what it was gonna do
It was gonna torture them

I woke up crying
I remember the dream
I woke myself up
I was only 4
It all started then
I still remember the dream so vivid in my 4 year old mind
It started at a young age
They all did
She was there at a young age
Following me
She was named Rose
She was my only friend
I also had death
Death was not as bad as she seemed
She was there for me
Watching over me
But she also brings me great grief
Suffering

I went to bed that day
I was still only 4
The dream happened again
This time worse
I couldn't wake up
I was so scared

I was tied to the chair
The it was closer to my family this time
It still had the knife
It grabbed my brother's arm harshly
Then the knife was in his skin without any thought
He screamed a blood curdling scream
And it just laughed
It continued to do that to all of my family
And their screams made me sick

I woke up the next day shaking and crying
I won't dare let anyone know
For if I do
I might be in some trouble
