Brittany: The Secret Stone, Chapter 3

By Brittany Langford

James’s mother was highly upset. As James fell into a deeper sleep he dreamt about the weird horse man (Zatherith). He had a dream that the man (Zatherith) chased him into another dimension.

It was so hard for James to wake up. As he struggled to wake up, his mother attempted to help him.

“James… James, honey wake up.” He still didn’t arise from his sleep. His mother automatically became afraid and worried. As she woke up James, he sat up with his forehead occupied by sweat. What happened in his dream?

As the young boy stood up he realized his knees were weak. He tried to walk to the bathroom, which was down the hall. His head began to spin, and his eyes began to close very slowly, looking like Chinese eyes. He finally reached the bathroom, walked to the sink, got a hand full of water and splashed it on his face. He did this repeatedly. He glanced in the mirror and saw an old man in the mirror! What had happened?
