In the Middle

Walk for what seemed like forever. Find herself in the same spot she started. All alone in the darkened night. Sees a light shining bright. Scream and holler as her cries went unanswered. Is it a dream? feeling as though she is there. Is it real? Is this her world? Is she just a scared girl? Searching for her way home. Caught between her dreams and a nightmare's ropes.

I so dislike being caught up in a nightmare not knowing if it's real or not. Some see so real...you've captured that here. Well done and best of luck with your contest entry.
