The unspeakable

Since that day Annie found it hard to sleep everytime she tried she would feel the hands on her delicate neck choking her.She had not seen who it was who choked her and she could not believe it was the beautiful man with the shackles.She decided to speak to Savvy and find out if she was still getting her dream.

So she called up Savvy and they decided to meet up.Annie got her cellphone and her money bag and ran the flight of stairs to Savvy’s and rung her bell. Savvy opened the door immedialtly and when she saw Annie with her bag asked her where they were going.Annie she said she’ll feel better if she went out.So they went to the cafe nearby.After ordering for icecream sodas they decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

When there orders had come Annie thought she would come to the point and told Savvy everything about her dream.Savvy was very suprised that both of them had seen such horrible nightmares and both of them had experienced such true to life horrors.Savvy asked her if she had ever seen the man when she was awake and Annie shook her head in the negative.

They were both worried and Annie was beyond herself with terror because she now half expected to see the man in reality and she was not looking forward to the sure to be horrific experience.

But weeks passed and neither Savvy nor Annie saw either the small girl or the beautiful man again.They were ready to forget the whole incident when something happened that jolted them back to the same feeling of helplessness.

Savvy’s Dad had a nightmare too. Savvy knew the moment she saw him in the morning.He look haggard and his face was drawn.She kept asking him what was wrong but he would not tell her.But when she started crying in frustration he yeilded and told her what he had witnessed in his nightmare.

He saw that he was in a old mountain village. All people in this village were extremely beautiful.He saw himself walking towards the village pond where a few women were washing clothes and bathing.He was thirsty and he wanted a drink.He walked towards a small child of maybe 10 or 12 years and asked if he could get some water. The child pointed towards a talk woman also extremly beautiful who was cleaning her face in the water.he had walked towards the woman when he saw her feet were bound by chains leading into the pond.He wanted to help the woman but just as he bent down to free her he felt a terrible pain and he had collapsed.When he came through he was lying on his bed drenched with sweat.

What did all mean? He did not know but he wondered how every person who had heard about a nightmare had had one too…was there a link?
