Nightmares at the night

There was a man called Richard and a woman called Rachel. They had two children, Sam, who was happy and very energetic, and Samantha, who liked to dance and sing every day. Both of them were fifteen years old, they were born together, they were twins.

Richard had to move to a new city because of his job, Samantha and Sam were very happy for the news. They hated his old house, so since too long they were looking forward that moment. When they arrived to his new home, they saw a huge, white house which had a wonderful garden in the front. They walked into the house, it was an awesome place, it had a big living room, which was decorated with a lot of pictures, there were some armchairs, a coffee table surrounded by a sofa. Everybody was happy.

One day, Sam was playing outside while Samantha was cooking dinner with his mom, and his father was in his job. Sam saw a strange man who was staring at him. Sam tried to walk away silently, he turned away and started walking, suddenly he felt a hand on his right shoulder, it was the strange man, he whispered him to be careful in the house, because at night it had live.

Sam couldn’t sleep, he still remembered the words the man said to him before. He got up and went down for a glass of water, the insomnia made him thirsty. He turned the tap on. While he was filling the glass, he felt a weird sound which came from the bathroom. Sam went in the bathroom, there was nothing. He was leaving the room when the mirror fell down. He was about to get a heart attack. Sam picked the mirror up and hung it on the wall. He went back to the kitchen and continued drinking some water. After drinking four glasses of water he went to the living room and sat on an armchair, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When Sam opened his eyes he realized that he wasn’t in his house, he was sitting on the same armchair, but the living room was not the same. There were less pieces of furniture than before, there were strange pictures hanging on the red walls. He got up and approached to the walls, he wanted to know what that strange red paint which was on the walls was. Sam touched the wall with his finger, it was a thick substance. It was blood. The walls were bleeding.” It must be a nightmare”, he thought. “It is not a nightmare” said someone. He looked everywhere in the end he could see a body that was emerging from a wall, “it is real”. Sam started running, he couldn’t believe what was going on, he opened the front door, but there was nothing outside, it was completely black. Sam was upstairs, everything was full of blood and some creatures were emerging from every wall. He arrived at his room and searched under his bed, he took a knife which he had kept hidden. He knew what the problem was, he needed to destroy the mirror.

He went down and ran straight to the bathroom, the door was blocked by a weird red thing, he stuck the knife in that thing and it disappeared. Sam walked in the bathroom, took the mirror and threw it to the wall. Everything disappeared, he woke up on the armchair and saw nothing weird. He decided to go to bed, went up to his bedroom and he lay on his bed, but when he look up at the ceiling he saw a hand trying to emerge from it.
