I think I've read too many whump and whumpee lists! I had a right nightmare, and it isn't leaving my subconscious! But it is abit vivid. Gonna list what I remember;
● There was a rumour of a strange man who threatened anyone with anything. He mostly targeted those between the ages of 7 and 16. He even preferred those who had brain injuries.
● He would release wild animals on the street! Even more oddly enough in specific gardens of the neighbourhood. Rabbits, Foxes, Birds, Cats, and Dogs he never owned.
● He had six sons who were forced to partake in his bizarre actions, which is next to list.
● The man would purposely cause accidents that involved kids. So, like, running around corners and knocking people over. He would blame it on a 'medical condition' or that he had drunk too much.
So, yeah. But the rest I remember is quite disturbing.
Two kids approached me and asked to go and see one of the sons who was in an odd predicament. I did not believe them and dismissed it. They were insisting - nagging me to help. So, I grab my coat and boots and followed, but slowly behind them.
They carry on, and the next thing I know, someone struck me from behind. I then wake up in a cold, small room. My coat was gone, and so were my shoes; left barefooted. I was sore around my legs and head.
I managed to get up and saw I was in someone's home. But there were more doors and hallways than there being any rooms. It literally made no sense.
I then heard voices and followed them. I ended up in a large kitchen and living room. There were kids, and they were in a dreadful state; bruised, bleeding, and wore makeshift bandages from their own clothes.
There were even children who were either autistic or suffered from a brain injury; they were unable to move and looked incredibly frail and distressed.
I can't recall the rest, but there was a good ending to the dream. However, we all managed to escape from the house, we went to a building at the end of the street and released a firework that ended up devastating the house. We believed the man was in that house at the time and likely died from the explosion.
But yeah, it was so weird.
