“Nope. Nobody down stairs. Now was my chance. I had to

snag the last slice of pizza. Now or never.” I pounced on the

slice of pizza. The pizza was delicious. Warm cheese and

Potatos melted in my throat sinking into my gullet. Especially

when I’m the one who ate it. My brother has a really dreadful

luck to not get the last slice. I wiped the cheese off my face

and used toothpaste to do away with the smell. I tiptoed to bed

in fear that my mom would catch me.

After all the terror that happened later, I regret taking the

pizza.

All of a sudden I was in a museum with my friends, Thomas,

Maito, Zenon and Jason. I have no idea why but I had my

consciousness in my dream. I knew it was a dream but this

dream seemed like a good slumber so I decided to go along

with it. My first fatal mistake. I should have woken up then

and there.

I lead my friends to the frozen-kraken-thingy exhibit. For

some reason no one was at the exhibit and had “DO NOT

TOUCH” signs all over the exhibit even though the other

exhibits didn’t. The place had a lot of tension in the air and

made me feel uneasy. So I decided to go to the next exhibit

and ditch my friends. Best choice ever made.

One of my friends, called Zenon, touched the giant mega-ton

beast and all of a sudden the beast’s enormous eye zeroed

onto my friends. I hate Zenon for igniting the nightmare.

The ground shook and the museum rumbled I decided not to

stick around. With a tremendous roar the king of serpents

demolished the exhibit and with one gulp ate everyone at the

exhibit. I was the sole survivor. The kraken then prepared to

eat another helping: me. I quickly ran for the door of the

museum to escape the creature of death. I was desperate for an

escape. The Kraken was a giant of a creature having scaly

skin like a crocodile and a long tongue for devouring far away

prey. The Kraken also has a mane of writhing snakes that spit

venom and a giant flameproof mouth for shooting fireballs

with a powerful tail, and a massive flipper on the end for fast

propulsion through the water. It also had two Horns for goring

other Krakens during fights, and bat like wings for gliding and

jumping long distances. Scaly and dragon like, this creature

was unmistakably the top of the food chain in the dream

world.

I reached the entrance to the monster museum but it was

locked. I had thirty seconds to escape the 20-ton behemoth

that was coming with surprising agility and endurance. I tried

to use the force but Yoda was full of baloney. I wish I had

acid to melt the door. But I didn’t so in my desperate insanity

I stepped back to gain power for my mad head butt. Bad

choice.

I stepped onto a sewer entrance and fell through the hole in

the ground and slid through the pipes. I finally emerged down

town in the dream world. Just my luck the Kraken had

destroyed the museum and had followed my scent. The

awesome creature was just around the block straining to find

me by either sight, hearing, radar or echolocation since the

ears were swiveling and its red and gold eyes were darting

around and its mouth kept opening every ten seconds. I made

my get away by sprinting quietly away but the Kraken had

found me with its super senses and pounced on top of me. I

shook in terror of being eaten and facing death. But just

before his legs would crush me I rolled onto my side and

missed the legs by a centimeter and ran to a nearby garbage

bin. I wasn’t so enthusiastic about hiding in a garbage bin but

it was either hide and survive or run around and be eaten. No

contest.

I then dived into the bin and shut the lid. I couldn’t stop my

shivering and the cold sweat dripping from my face. This was

the worst Nightmare ever. The Kraken slipped into berserk

actions. It was having such a hard time devouring me that its

brain had flipped. Meanwhile the writhing mass of serpents

stopped biting each other and spat venom and acid in all

directions. The buildings started melting and purple splotches

lay on the street making dents. Luckily I was out of range.

The Kraken didn’t want to just eat me now. It wanted to see

me dead. I understood now that the Kraken would stop at

nothing to make me its next victim. The behemoth then

spewed fire in all directions showing no mercy to anyone or

anything. Unluckily the Kraken had used the venom to light

the fire and the flames erupted scorching people and giving

off sparks everywhere. The whole place was a colossal

bonfire with columns of fire devouring anything in its path. I

escaped the garbage bin just before it exploded into red-hot

flames. I jumped through the window of a half melted truck

that was still on fire and to my luck the ignition key was

inside. I didn’t know how to drive so I kept swerving left and

right. The Kraken had heard me and was coming at me while I

drove a burning, out of control truck on a dented, scorched

and destroyed road at 88 miles an hour. Could things get any

worse? Unfortunately it did. The engine exploded at the

monster museum and I flew out of the wreckage and waded

through the pile of ash that used be doors. I bolted through the

museum and found myself at the unfrozen Kraken thingy

exhibit. There was a large explosion as the Kraken obliterated

the back door of the museum. With a giant roar the Kraken

shot its tongue out and was just about to eat me when I woke

up. I was drenched in head to toe in cold sweat. My stomach

hurt. It was the pizza that had started this Nightmare. Because

of the stomachache I had during sleeping, the Nightmare

Ignited. I am never going through that horror again. From now

on no pizza at ten in the night.
