No Fear!

Susi steps off the train, knowing that she is protected by a light, but feels dread. Unaware of time, she walks down the street of a quaint town, toward a small house behind an open gate. As she nears the home, she sees that the door is ajar. She slowly pushes it so she can enter. Everything inside is antique or is it? She’s startled by hearing sounds in the house, and knocks some papers off a table. Bending down, she picks them up to see some odd-looking stamps. She places them back on the table and walks to the back of the house and finds herself standing in the doorway of the bathroom. Inside, she sees a woman leaning over an old claw foot bathtub. She’s holding something down, something that is struggling for air. Susi takes a few more steps and stretches her neck to see what it is. Horror enters her body, and she freezes. The woman who is holding her baby under the water loosens her grip as the baby stops the struggle. She turns and stares into Susi’s eyes, a cold glare that sends shivers throughout Susi’s body. She wants to scream but no sound comes out. She turns and runs, struggling to find the train. She sees it but it looks like it’s ready to leave. Terrified, she runs toward it, and as if it’s waiting for her, the doors close as soon as she enters. She hears a voice, a distant voice. “One, you are coming up.” The voice is becoming louder, it’s closer to her now. “Two, you are becoming more aware. Three. Open your eyes, you are now awake.”
