Clandestine Nightmares

This one is a little creepy. Don't know where it came from, and believe me, it's never happened to me.

She runs away,
knowing he is never
far behind.
He will follow
with his hateful
words and
crushing blows.
She has become
but a shadow of
what she
once was;
a gaunt shadow
of radiant life.
She risks a
glance back and
sees that he is
almost upon her.
Suddenly he is there,
beating,
smashing.
She knows these
wounds are too
much and
feels her lifeblood
becoming one
with the earth.
Death circles closer
and suddenly bears
down upon her.
JOLT!
She wakes up,
slowly realizing
that it was all a
dream.
What is life
but a dream?

Author's Note

I know, kind of creepy, but bear with me.

If that's a dream, then it must emanate from the subconscious, a fear of being abused by someone bigger and stronger than yourself. Perhaps it's a fear of authority, an anticipation of how ugly life may become in the future. Life may be a dream, but it should at least be a pleasant dream if that's the case. Interesting!
