VargsCornflakes | 2 comments I'm thinking of writing a short story but I'm not sure weather the premise is overdone, considering this is my first serious idea for a short story.
Anyway the book would go something like this:

Man wakes up in unfamiliar room following a night of horrific dreams, as he shakes off his sleep he notices a few details of the room,
The entire room is dimly lit, but has the other all appearance of an infermary, the room is mostly empty save for the bed he is lying in and another which is attended to what looks like a very short, stocky man, on closer inspection and recovery from his disturbing nights sleep he realizes that what he thought were some form of attire is actually the 'mans' skin, which has a yellow-green hue and is unusually wrinkly, in addition to this he notices that it is complete without clothes. The thing, noticing that the man had awoken turned to him, allowing for the description of the face, obviously hidious.
The movement of the creature away from the bed it was looming over reveals what is laying there, however the man can only see blood from where he is sitting. After this some form of physical or psychological torture is going to occur, concluding in the man feinting. He wakes up again, this time in his own house, situated far from any large towns or cities, or even villages, as he tries to shake the events within his dream from his mind, he starts breakfast to keep his mind off of it, he is unable, however, to convince himself that what he expiranced was only a dream. The end comes with him looking up from his breakfast and out a window, which for a second he thinks he sees the creature from his dream.

R.S. Merritt | 207 comments No such thing as "Too Cheesy!" Just picture yourself in the story and describe it with words. Injecting a little Dad Humor never hurt anyone either :-)
