• In The Creepy Alley
On a cold rainy night, where the city was shaken by blasts of thunder and lightning, heavy rain overflowed the sewers, the streets were all soaked in running water, and nothing was to be heard out of the sounds of showery rain drops that suppressed all other noise, visibility stretched for only couple of meters ahead, streets were full of thick fog, white and creepy, that only became instantly visible with each flash of lightening. The feeling of emptiness crept into my heart, as the presence of the unknown lied deep in the fog. It made me feel uncomfortable while driving my old rusty 1971 Golf, in a narrow dimly lit street. I was doing 20 km/h when I saw the headlights of an approaching car coming right at me, it came in a slow pace as if the driver knew I was in the alley, I stopped my car, but the approaching car kept drawing closer, until I couldn't see anything out of its looming headlights that flashed my front seats. I turned off the engine and stepped out of the car just to be taken over by the rainy winds that drenched my raincoat instantly. I put on the raincoat's hat, pulled it tight and I approached the other car with caution. I looked through its windows but saw no one inside. The doors were locked and the engine was still running! I looked around but no one was to be found in this creepy alley, dark & cold...

I started feeling as if there was someone watching me, deep in the fog. I could feel his eyes observing my every move, so I rushed back to my car, locked the doors and started driving backwards out of this weird alley. As I got near the end of it, the engine suddenly died. My lights were out, and white steam gently started streaming out of my hood. I couldn't see clearly, I tried igniting the engine again and again but it didn't start. Then suddenly, I heard a bang on the hood, as if a hand was hitting against the metal. The banging continued, and became stronger and stronger. The car shook with every bang. I was terrified and couldn't see what was making that sound. I shouted: "Who's there? Show yourself!" And then, the banging stopped, and I heard the back door opening slowly, even though I'd locked the doors. I couldn't dare to look behind... The door opened, and someone sat in the back seat gently, and closed the door. I got very anxious and nervous. I turned my head slowly with hesitation, and then I saw him. I saw a black shaped form, with yellow daemon eyes that were staring at me. I froze and couldn't do a thing, then those yellow eyes got suddenly bigger and his whole body started storming and filled the entire back seat. BLACK SOMOCK. That's the best description I could think of. And as I was witnessing this dreadful scene: the black smoke came rushing towards me and went piercingly into me, and I couldn't stop it. It kept going peacefully inside of me, until there was no black smoke left in the car. I couldn't resist it. Then I felt like there were things moving under my skin, my entire body felt like it wasn't mine. I got scared, feeling like there's something taking over my body. I stepped out of the car, looked around: it's freezing, and I was sweating, nervous and scared, I started losing balance and feeling dizzy until I fell and hit the curb, I was paralyzed. I could only move my eyes. I stared at the rain drops over the grey stones of the curb next to my face, it was the only thing I could focus on. My vision then started to blur, and echoes of rain drops became loud in my head. Then it was a complete blackout...

• The Mazzeh House!
The next thing I remember is waking up in the 'Mazzeh' house, -The place I grew up in until I was 5 years-old- It was night, the lights were out, but I could make out what was around me: blood! The walls were filled with strange symbols drawn by blood. One of the many drawings was an upside-down cross, “Upside down cross, a sign of Satanism. Worshipers of the Anti-Christ wear this symbol.” a single weird eye, “The 'Eye of Horus' in Egyptian mythology. But in 'Freemasonry' represents the eye of Lucifer or Satan.” and lots of strange writings in Latin and other languages I did not recognize. I looked at my hands and they were all bloody, as if I was the one who drew them all! Then suddenly, the house started shaking. The whole room was shaking so hard that the paintings started falling off the walls, the lamp above me was moving in all directions. Shuttered glass spread all over the ground. It was too noisy, but then I started hearing prayers from outside, coming from the streets. I heard voices reading al-Quran out loud in a hurried incomprehensible way. I couldn't make out what they were saying exactly. They were all reciting at the same time, but one voice rose above the rest and was clear enough for me to understand, it was repeating this over and over: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم *(قل أعوذ برب الناس ملك الناس إله الناس من شر الوسواس الخناس الذي يوسوس في صدور الناس من الجنة و الناس)*

It was a terrified shaking voice, and it kept repeating... I went to the balcony of the Mazzeh house to see what was happening on the streets. I looked at the sky; it was all red. The clouds were moving very fast, just like Armageddon, the whole world was red, and fast winds carrying thick red dust, where blowing into the house. Everything started flying out in the living room. I tried to look at the streets, but it was difficult to see, as if I was in a very tall building, and the streets were very far down. It felt like I'm getting higher as the building got taller, and the streets grew smaller and smaller. Then the sound of the Quran prayers started fading away, until I could hear nothing from down there, and see nothing but clouds. I was hung in the skies. I couldn't see the base of the building, just the red clouds moving so fast all around me. I was literally in the middle of the sky, with storming winds and red dust blowing everywhere.





• The Beautiful Woman
Then out of nowhere I heard someone behind me in the living room. I looked back and I saw a beautiful woman standing in the middle of the room, staring at me in a weird way. She was naked and looked beautiful, but in a menacing way, like a disguised daemon! I instantly sensed there was something wrong about her, especially about the look in her eyes. I was trapped between earth and skies and there was only one way to go, which is into the living room, right to that woman. She shouted two words in a calm silky voice: "COME TO ME!! . . . . COME TO ME!! . . . ." I started walking into the living room slowly, and as I got closer, she spread her arms wide and tilted her head slightly to the right and shouted but in a dreadful voice this time: "COME TO ME . . . . COME TO ME . . . . I AM THE WAY TO HELL!!" I kept walking towards her, despite of what she just said, despite the sudden change in her tone. I had no control over myself. She was smiling in a very distressing way, but I kept getting closer, I felt like I was drawn to her, and I couldn't resist her. She was staring at me with her now-horrifying eyes until I finally reached her and we started kissing...


I opened my eyes, it was 3:03 am, I was out of breath with cold sweat. I found myself in a quiet room dimly lit by the moon, it was a very familiar place. I was laying on a comfortable bed looking at the ceiling, just to realize that I was dreaming, and that, was the ceiling of my bed room. I got a strong feeling that there was someone else in the room looking at me! I got scared, and got off the bed, went into the corridor, then the feeling went away. So I got back to bed, but I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking of what might this dream indicates to. I kept hearing echoes of her shouts: "COME TO ME . . . COME TO ME . . . I AM THE WAY TO HELL!!" I couldn't get that out of my head. I kept thinking: why did I go to her?? Especially after what she said... I had college in 3 hrs, so I tried to calm myself, and I managed to go back to sleep. Leaving this dream to dwell in my subconscious along with other unexplained dreams.
