It was a bad dream. I always remember my bad dreams. I am a big Lord of the Rings fan so I would watch it a lot. The only problem was every time Golum came on I would close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears. One night I had a dream that Golum was killing and eating people at this local trail that leads up into the forest in my town. It was closed off for a while but then they reopened it because they thought Golum had left. My mom and my little sister wanted to walk on this trail but I stayed behind with some girl named Emma and some guy in a bunker by the trail because I thought it was too dangerous. In my dream the last part I remember was that Golum had blood all over him and I knew my mom sister and all the other people who went down this trail had been killed. I still am scared of Golum because of this dream. |
