A dream in the forest

Lucia runs in the forest, without stopping, her legs simply run automatically, she does not know exactly what she is running from, or what she is afraid of, the only thing she knows is that she must run, run as fast as she can, her feet are bare, full of dirt, her clothes are a
semi-transparent white blanket covering her body, in the forest there is only darkness, but Lucia’s instincts are active.

At the end Lucia sees a pile of leaves and bushes in front of her, with thorns and roses, when she touched the bush with her finger, a thorn touched her, and a drop of blood fell to the ground, the thing that was chasing her gets even closer, and each time it seems to growl louder,
and each time it seems to get bigger. Then Lucia prefers not to know what is chasing her and, closing her eyes with faith, she passes the bushes full of thorns and roses, getting wounds all over her body, while the semi-transparent blanket that covered her body was torn.

Lucia stopped, and opened her eyes, when she was perplexed by the paradise before her. Around there were trees, not just any trees, large trees full of fresh, green leaves, not like the trees in the forest all withered with purple leaves, the grass that touched his feet was soft, like the mane of a well-groomed horse, in the center there was a lake, with water as crystal clear as the crystals themselves, along with lotus flowers floating on the water.

Lucia notices that she no longer hears the thing that was chasing her, so Lucia takes off her semi-transparent blanket along with her other clothes, and walks slowly to the lake, when she submerges herself in the lake, and the wounds on her body due to the thorns heal completely, except for the wound on her finger, then Lucia lets her wavy black hair float through the water, as much as Lucia lets herself be carried away by the peace and tranquility in her mind, closing her eyes.

But Lucia wakes up to the alarm on her phone. “In the end it was just a dream,” Lucia thinks, but she doubts, because she felt it very real, the fear, the adrenaline, the fatigue, the pain and the tranquility she felt. But Lucia stops thinking about that and gets ready to go to work.

Lucia looks at her finger and notices that it has a scar, one that she had never noticed or had. Lucia thinks if the dream was real but then she thinks it was something else. Passing the door of her house going to work. While a dark and malevolent shadow begins to chase her.
