The Nightmare

THE NIGHTMARE Emily and Olive were going to explore an abandoned place called “Savoy hotel.” They set out on early morning. As they drove further into the woods, it started getting darker and darker. “Why is it getting darker?!” asked Olive. “I don’t know but I think we lost GPS signal,” Emily replied “Looks like we have to stay at the hotel.” She shivered. “come on then, it’s getting cold outside” Says Olive. As the girls explored deeper, they felt like someone was watching them, suddenly the temperature dropped and Olive went missing. Then Emily heard Olive scream, and found her lying in the kitchen floor. After Emily woke her up, she wasn’t acting like herself. Then, Emily finally asked her “What’s wrong?” She was about to attack her like a zombie when Emily woke up and saw, it was already morning. Then she remembered that she was actually at Olive’s house for a sleepover. “Phew” she thought “That was just a nightmare”. I told this dream to a book writer which wrote a book inspired by my story, and called it ‘The nightmare’ Has a nice ring to it don’t you think ?
