Warnings... Nah forget that
A man's silhouette stand before me, in thr dimly lit alley where i regularly take as a shortcut home.
He was wearing a black vintage tuxedo, with a navy blue necktie, using a big black umbrella even of it's already night and it's not even raining.
He stand under the dying lamp post, standing still and straight, our eyes locked for a second and it already gave me the chills.
My breathing quickly paced and my anxiety rised, my fight or flight activated with onky one thing in mind and that is.. RUN.
My body was stiffed still but i managed to break through fear and ran on the opposite side, away from the man under the light.
My body fell down in a black hole out of nowhere, waking me up from the dream or should i say, Nightmare.
I panted in perplex and perspiration, even if it's a dream, it felt more like a warning, but in the end of the day, it was still a dream.
The morning shine reached me from the slight open of the window, a clear sign of the rising sun, even if I'm still sleepy, i dare not go back to sleep.
The feeling from that dream still lingers clearly, so vivid that with just the thought of it gives me chills.
I ate breakfast and continued my day like how i do it regularly, living as a regular adult, but today's morning is different, i woke up earlier than usual.
After i ate, i went outside for a morning run, a change of my daily activity, i jogged in the park, meeting a few neighbors and friends.
After the jog, i went home and took a bath, getting ready for work, my job is a veterinarian, i treat animals.
In my work, the nurse greeted me with a goodmorning smile, she was a diligent girl with a pure love for animals.
We worked together with everybody, and treated many animlas, later that night, it was closing tim.
As we were about close the shop, a man came running inside asking for help with a lump of clothes on his hand, it was a black kitten with a broken leg.
Even if i was tired, i still chose to save the kitten, closing the shop later than usual, after the surgery, i went out of the operation room to deliver the successful news to tge man but... He was gone.
I was sure that the man was soaked and it made the floor dirty with mud, but right now, there was no trace, even the broken doorknob the man unconsciously broke was fixed, its like he wasn't there in the first place.
The same chill that i felt from my dream is what i feel right now, my breathing became heavy and my anxiety rose.
I closed the shop with the saved kitten in my hand, and now that i think of it, how id he soaked from head to toe when it not raining in the first place..
I took the kitten with me, walking to the road side, i saw the same alley i usually take but after that dream i had, my instinct screamed and i didn't take it for today.
In the side of my eye, i saw the same lamp post from my dream with it's flickering lights in the dimly lit alley.
I went home safe, the kitten safely tucked in the DIY bed i made inside a puppy cage, the kitten was peacefully sleeping the entire venture.
I placed the kitty in my deceased dog's bed, i went for a quick bath when suddenly the doorbell rang continuously.
