Nightmare journal 

Written on 12/24/22

I had a nightmare that played out like a movie. I was a young teen and on vacation with a father and daughter, but not from my family. I remember wanting some ice-cream in the middle of the night but the ice cream truck that sold it packed up and drove off just as I arrived. I walked to a convenience store to get something else but something felt wrong. I felt eyes on me. Someone was stalking me and stalking the motel we were staying in. I came back and didn’t lock the door immediately and later after I realized I hadn’t locked it we heard a strange chanting from this burglar who was wearing a mask that looked like an asian woman smiling and he kept chanting the same thing over and over it sounded like gibberish. He stalked us through the hallways and was searching for me with a knife, thats when the dad pulled out his gun and shot him through the wall. The next day the daughter noticed this receipt the burglar dropped and she took it with her, the police came and wanted to take me for a drive and ask some questions, the daughter volunteered to go along. The police officer was asking all about the time and place of the shooting and we answered as best we could. The sister pulled out this receipt we had for the ice cream truck and she had told the officer that the burglar must have stolen our receipt and that must be why they came after us because of the fact we spent a lot on ice cream. The officer then laughed a bit and took us home. A reward was given to us for stopping the stranger from murdering anyone else as this could have ended so much worse for us. The stranger was a stalker who only stalked people they would kill mercilessly with a knife.
