Lost in Illusions



When the night has came, and the land is dark and the moon is the only light that passes through the galss of my window and makes some shapes on the wall... I was thinking all about My life, why is my life such a montonous life ? please God can I have a diffrent experience just for once ? -I said- suddenly, I heard something That I still recall up to this moment. It sounded like a claw scratching the door then it became a gentel knock... my heart started throbbing, for a moment I thought that someone wanted to get me, I covered my head but my legs started trembling

As the knocking started get louder and louder,I felt like

time stoped. I asked myself « what am i doing ? who am i kidding ?

monsters are not real. They are Fairy tales. I threw the cover aside And stepped toward the door. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it about Then I whispered « It's time to show your self! » and I pulled the door with all my force. I couldn’t believe what my eyes saw "Oh my lord it's just a cat, you freaked me out " I said ... I slapped my face and I went back to my bed but it was something strange about that slap I can't explain. I didn't feel any pain. It’s like if I lost my sensation ...I fell a sleep again. it was just few seconds I quickly opened my eyes and I said "wait a minute ! I don't have a cat in the first place! and especially like that one :

a pure white fur and large red eyes". I threw the cover and stepped to the door again and I opened it, I fell down by the terror of what I saw, a White figure with a long hair, and evil smile,it was obvious that she was a girl,because of the glow in her large eyes, she was looking straight into my eyes, suddenly she opened her mouth and screamed. I almost pass out. I barely closed the door with my leg then I gathered my force and stood. I went straight to the window and locked it up, then I went to my bed. That was the first time of my life all my body was trembling out of fear and terror. I'm afraid this wasn't the end of the THING, closing the door wasn't enough, The girl began hitting the window glass then I felt like time stopped again

" for God's sake leave me alone" I said

I started thinking "why is this thing after me ? what the hell did I do to deserve all this? did my wish open the demons door or something like that ?" my heart started throbbing again this time I felt like it would fall out of my chest. Meanwhile I heard a sound like if a glass had just broken . there was no doubt that the demon entered my room. I started hearing her foot steps approaching me, with every step I could hear my heart beats get louder and louder. She started whispering my name Ayoub... Ayoub

you are the one who chose this, there is no going back,...

- is this the end ? will my life end here? what about My Family ? my friends ? All my future plans and wishes ? I said hopelessly,

All of a sudden I felt like a cold hand touched my chest. I quickly gathered my breath and prepared myself to fight back,

It was my last chance... As soon as she grabbed the cover,I screamed with all my voice...The demon disappeared. I raised my eyes and all i could see was my Mother standing in front of me and the day light had already illuminated my room... I was shocked and all my clothes were sweaty, when she said :

-Ayoub you finally woke up ! Come on. Get dressed. It’s school time.

-wait ...was all that a dream? I rejoined

I looked at her without pressing my idle question

when she left my room, I looked at the window and I saw something wondrous, some broken glass! I didn’t have enough time to think about it, but it wasn’t a nightmare. It absolutely was not a nightmare .there was some paranormal activity going on here! I wore my clothes and went down stairs thinking about the day before, that was not a dream

there is no doubt about it! the broken glass was the last brick in the wall…
