We had just come back from the Halloween party and Jason and I were dead tired. Half the dorm and 20 other people were already asleep, some of them in sleeping bags in the middle of the room.
As I was getting ready for bed, I couldn't help but to think about Josie, why would she just disappear like that, it wasn't like her; she liked being the life of the party. Then there was Jason…he hadn't said more than three words since he went to the bathroom and that worried me as well. I crawled into bed next to him and fell into a disturbed sleep.
Josie was running through the forest, something was chasing her. She tripped over a branch and hit her head against a rock. I saw her fall to the ground with blood covering her face.
I sprang up in bed awaking from my terrible dream.
"Jason…I just had the strangest dream where I saw…I saw Josie die."
Jason didn't respond. I thought he was sleeping until he said:
"Go back to bed, Josie is fine."
His voice sounded so emotionless and monotonous, I decided I would talk with him in the morning about whatever was going on with him. I began to crawl back into bed until I saw the curtain fluttering out of the corner of my eye; I got up to close the window.
I stopped when I was not more than 2 feet from the glass; there was something outside the window. Whatever was on the other side made my blood run cold. My internal instincts told me to back away from the window get the hell out of the dorm but I ignored them, curiosity obviously getting the better of me. I threw open the curtains to reveal a hideous octopus looking creature stuck to the window.
It was pink with a gigantic head; it had eight tentacles with suction cups smeared all over the window. Its mouth was small but full of teeth. I screamed in sheer terror and ran out of the room.
I followed my instinct and proceeded to get out of the building. That was until I ran into the living room and everyone that had been sleeping was standing around me. The lights weren't on but the moonlight illuminated what horror had befallen them.
The corneas of their eyes had turned a sickly green and there were wires coming out of all their backs. They were all staring at me with this intense glare which made me damn near piss myself. One of them made a move to grab me but I dodged it and ran into the other room, I didn't know where I was going or what the hell was going on, all I knew was I needed to get the fuck out of the dorm.
I suddenly felt a strong grip around my throat as I was running and then being lifted up into the air. Gasping for air, I looked down at my captor and saw that it was Jason, whose eyes were also green and full with that glare. I could feel tears running down my eyes half of them were because I was so fucking terrified and confused.
I vaguely acknowledged a circular object passing over the skylight; its lights were extremely bright and they were the last thing I saw before I lost consciousness.
So I wrote this awhile ago and I revised it for my English class, tell me what you think
