Was it a dream?                                    1D Yip Tin Lam Jora

One night, I was awakened by the sound of distant thunder. As I opened my eyes, I found that I was inside an old wooden hut which was not my house, and I couldn’t remember who I was. I barely walked towards a big mirror, and I was shocked.

I was a 55-year-old man. I had wrinkles on my brown skin and a terrifying-look scar on my face. I looked messy with an old coat on, but my blood-shot eyes looked furious.

Soon I realized that I couldn’t control my body, which meant I could only think, but my mouth, my arms, and every single body part of mine weren’t under control. Instead, I had a feeling of anger growing fiercely and rolling deeply in my heart, and I thought that was the thing which controlled me.

I felt myself trudge downstairs and keep on murmuring a girl’s name, ‘Viola, Viola Brown…’ But obviously, I still didn’t know who Viola was. However, I felt from the deep voice I made that something bad was going to happen to this poor lady.

As I walked next to an oak wood table, I stared at a picture of mine with a pretty blue-eyed lady. ‘She was Viola, I suppose.’ I thought to myself, but then I found that I tore that picture into small pieces. ‘Who am I? Who is controlling me? What am I going to do?’ I was just so scared and I screamed, ‘No, stop it!’ But my right hand took a sharp silver knife which was stuck on the table and a black car key. ‘Oh God, I can feel that can’t be good.’ I gave up after some great, loud screaming, and then I drove the car.

I went in an old-school car, and drove into a dark forest called ‘Phantom Land’. My face looked cunning and I suddenly heard a terrifying laugh made by me. Until now, I didn’t remember a thing, like my name and where I was meant to go. Who was I?

After ten minutes, it would be 12 o’ clock. I remembered something suddenly. When I was young, I had dreamt of a wolf on a cliff. And the next day, at 12 o’ clock  midnight, I did see a wolf on a cliff, howling loudly. After a while, I stopped my car in front of a brick house. I felt the anger growing stronger, like it was going to get out of my body and burn everything down. I was slightly frightened, but somehow I still stepped backwards, and crashed the door by a rush-kick with no reason.

 

I heard her screaming at a great, high pitch. I awoke.
