I ran through the endless void of bridges, getting built in front of me as I ran, jumped and dodged him.
I will finish this, whatever this is. I will avenge anyone-
CRASH!!
No... No, no, no! It's a dead end, it can't end here...
But... those things keep getting closer. I'm running out of time.
Fine, if it's gonna be like this, I'll just retry before you even get me.
I jumped off the dead end into the blackness, reaching out for it.
I'll prove to you my worth by just...
Doing this.

"AAUGH"
The girl you just heard out a groan and plopped her backpack on her chair is you, Hikari.
You are possibly a middle schooler on her way to killing herself! High school sounds scary so you must end all this before it's too late. Though, It's summer break now so that can wait a bit more.
You changed your clothes to your favourite sweater and pyjamas. You stood in front of the mirror for a few brief seconds.
"..."
You made finger guns at your reflection and made a dumb face.
"Lookin' good."
Your dry eyes and the nasty smell don't say so...
You look around your room, exploring like a caveman.
You walk over to the desk, you rarely sit here, and you barely sit still. You just have to lie down or it's super uncomfy.
Half of the small desk is filled with a few sketchbooks, an empty cup and other trash you can't make out. You should clean this mess sometime.
Above that small war is two shelves, one of them filled with the paper dolls and figures you made since you are broke and can't afford any of those overpriced figures that only come from China. You are very proud of them though.
The other shelf is filled with small objects and materials like glue sticks, mechanical pencils, a snowman lamb and a snow globe. You do not want to take
one of them out or else you will end up cleaning everything that fell off that shelf.
Next to those two shelves, there's a drawer. You pull it open to be greeted by nail polish and some deodorant and perfume. You spray some perfume to try and hide your terrible smell.
That's all about your desk... but wait. You had sketchbooks and ideas so you decided to doodle something.
You draw your friends. You haven't seen them in a little while. Maybe you should pay them a visit.
You place your pillows and throw the plushies off the bed, getting under the sheets, you snuggle into the fluffy blanket and close your eyes.
You try to concentrate really hard on the sentence; "I will see my friends."

Your vision fades back in. You see... pink? This isn't the usual house you end up in.
Realizing that pink is the wall, you subtly look around to find yourself in a maze. The ceiling and floor are made out of white wood planks, and the walls are painted pink and look wet. You decide to start walking in the first direction you see, you hear your footsteps echo. This is quite calm, but it makes you wonder... Did you not concentrate that well this time? Well, it doesn't matter that much now, you are dreaming.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
Now that you have gone a little far from where you were, this labyrinth might just be endless.
Oh? What's that noise? Sounds like a bunch of organs squishing into each other...
"Splash... drip drip~"
You turned the corner just finding a huge blob of darkness. It looks like ink.
You look at it questionably and slowly approach it, but it still makes the same noises.
"Dribble, squish, splash~"
It just stomped its "foot"? This thing is fascinating and creepy. It looks wet and goopy, maybe you can touch it...
You unconsciously reach your hand out like a famous man with a small mustache, you can't stop reaching out now.
Your hand lands on its "skin", it feels like very smooth flesh. It turns your stomach upside down.
Hmm? A bump is growing towards you...
"GAH-Hng!!-"
The bump turns into a spike that drills through your torso. Even if it's a dream, it hurts like real.
You feel paralyzed looking down at the dripping blood, you feel some drooling down your mouth.
Your hands shake while trying to hold the spike, and you whine and groan through the pain. It is hard to breathe.
The spike wiggles around and pulls back out and disappears into the flesh of the creature, you tumble backwards holding your abdomen.
"Ghh-"
You breathe through your teeth, desperately trying to get oxygen. You are starting to feel weak.
The creature wiggles around as if to mock you.
It grows a few more bumps towards you, this time a few tentacles. The tentacles snatch you up, wrapping around your torso and squeezing at your abdomen.
"HnGH!!-" Cough...Cough...
You hear things cracking, which are probably your bones. This... sure is a dream isn't it?
...No, you want to wake up. This cannot be it. You need to wake up.
Wake up, Hikari~...
You scream your lungs and throat out, you feel your chest hurting at how loud you screamed. That seemed to do the trick, you are waking up...

"HOOLY FUcking shit..."
You snatch yourself up from the sheets and catch your breath. What a bad dream, you should write that down.
You reached out to your cabinet and snatched the dream diary.
