A TERRIBLE DREAM

I woke up by a sudden unusual knock at my door only to find my pillow soaked with sweat and my nerves near breaking point. I could hardly bear the terrible experience. I turned the lights on to see what time it was. Five a.m. as the hand of the clock moved. For another two minutes, I laid in bed pondering over my experience.
"Edmund Are you alright?" came a voice at the door, which broke my meditation. The voice seemed familiar, but I did not hope it was the voice of anyone other than my mother's voice. Wanting to be sure, I hurried to the door, tripping over books, shoes, and window frames. I was dumb founded at what I saw.

"What is wrong Edmund? You are acting as if you have seen a ghost", my mother added worriedly.
I stood there with my eyes wide opened unable to utter a word. My mother took a long look at me and glanced into my room.
"Edmund what happened here?"
At once my concentration had been broken as I turned back to look at my room. There were broken louvers, chairs, tables and glasses everywhere. How did this happen?' I asked myself in a thought. I looked back at my mother who was equally surprised and shocked to see the appearance of my room. Tears began to roll down my mother's eyes. I watched my mother cry and asked in a stammering voice,
"Mom is everything alright?" My mother took a deep breathe trying to gain some control of herself she looked at me like never before. Deep down in my thoughts I knew there was something wrong somewhere.

It was a bright sunny Friday afternoon when I found myself in Dagger field University in David Town County. I came for a campus tour because I was highly interested in this university. Ever since I heard about Dagger Field University from a neighbor, no one could change my mind not even my own parents. I had just graduated from high school. My counselor, teachers, and friends had tried all they could to persuade me to change my choice of institution. I have heard about mysteries that had unfolded in this institution for the past five years since being established and they were enough to put off any child who was thick in the head about choosing such an institution. I was someone whose peers and teachers influenced greatly. It therefore came as a surprise and raised suspicions in my neighborhood when I refused to give up on this very decision to attend Dagger Field University. Everyone drew a conclusion that there was something about the school, which attracted me in every way.
