They say that dreams are a glimpse into the subconscious, betraying a person's deepest thoughts and feelings. Though we would prefer to have a restful sleep, sometimes we end up having a more disturbing night than usual. What haunts your character's subconscious? What vivid nightmares plague their dreams? What unspeakable horrors make them sweat, squirm and shriek in the night?
In 500 words or more, write a story showing one such nightmare. The more vivid and evocative the piece, the better. However, why that particular something is particularly terrifying to your character should also be conveyed from the text itself.
Submissions accepted in .doc, .docx and .pdf formats. Please do not submit your texts in the text-box, but use an attached file. All submissions will be graded using the Fiction Rubric 2.0
