Nightmare

No. Please. Not this kind of dream again.
I loathe the lingering feelings I have when I finally awake from one, visions of the terrors engraved into my mind...
Ghosts follow me around a cemetery, their shrill howls swirling around me like the wind.

Hurrying, I dodge between gravestones,
Trying to avoid falling into the deep graves around me. 

My foot suddenly gets caught by a knotted root and I trip and descend down into

An endless grave, dirt and leaves falling along with me.

Right before I plunge deeper into the dark abyss below me, I'm able to

Escape the dream- relief washes over me, as I'm safe and snug in bed.
