Nightmare

I Had This Nightmare A Few Years Ago... Woke Up Terrified And Paralysed In My Bed. I Was So Scared, It Seemed So Real. . .  


We were having such an amazing time! My best friend was with me, and my parents were laughing, we were all together, having a good night.
When we hear a knock on the door I jump up to check. I look through the peep-hole. No one.
When I turn I see our neighbours on our back porch. I motion for them to come around to the front. The nod.
I wait a few minutes then open the front door for them.
The two of them step inside handing a basket of fresh rolls to my mother.
They were around the same age as me.
My mother thanks them and puts the basket in the kitchen.
I walk them out the door, smiling.
I start closing the door but it jams just before it closes.
Pressure is applied on the other side.
I step back.
The door swings open and a man stands in the door way.
He is tall, back hair, stubble covering his cheeks.
He wore a dark green shirt, tight against his muscles with black denim jeans and big black boots.
He is not happy, warning signs go off in the back of my head.
In his right hand by his side he holds a knife, black and silver, glinting from the light outside, a ragged blade.
I shiver.
My mom and dad stand behind me.
Frozen.
My dad whispers for me to run but I shake my head.
My mother pinches me.
I grab my best friend's hand and we make a run for it. I stop in the kitchen hall way.
My mom shouts for me to run.
The man had entered the house.
I freeze.
My best friend tugs me and we run down the corridor until we get to the linen cupboard. 
I help her inside.
We huddle on the top shelve. Surrounded by blankets.
I hear a scream and I cover my ears.
I start shaking and rocking on the spot, chanting "mom" over and over.
The cupboard door opens and I scream.

Then I woke up...
