Last Friday, a friend of mine asked me to accompany him

to buy a new shirt at a department store. We left home at
03.00 p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there, we
went to the clothes section. I let him choose one. An hour
later, I got bored watching him confused in choosing a
shirt. So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirty
minutes later, I went back to the clothes section but I
couldn't find him there. My cell phone was broken so I
couldn't call him. I went to the parking area. I saw his
motorcycle was there but I couldn't find him. I waited for
him for a few moments then finally I gave up and decided
to go home.
When I arrived home, my mother told me that my friend
called. She said that he was in the department store
looking for me. My mother asked me to come back to the
department store. Reluctantly, I walked to the department
store and you know what? When I arrived there his
motorcycle was not in the parking area. He just went home.
I was very tired. There was no other choice, I had to walk
home again. When I arrived home, I was so tired. I was
very angry but when I saw my friend's broad smile greet
me in front of the door, I just could not help laughing.

Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was

with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not
sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed afraid
of her. Somehow we had to find her. So there I was,
searching high and low for her in frightful places I had
never been before. Sometimes I seemed to be flying while
at other times I seemed unable to move. The whole
atmosphere was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in
which I was a victim.

It was early in the morning we left Ubud and travelled to

Gili Air which is one of three islands of Lombok. It took 4
hours in total by boat. The travelling was not bad but it was
a hot day. I said to Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe,
it won`t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.
When we got to Gili Air it was still quiet so we were able to
get a bungalow near the beach for about $ 15 a night plus
breakfast. We shared our room with quite a number of
geckos. Some of them were quite large ones. The weather
was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the
seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just
caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she
had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here
which we spent walking around the island which takes
about an hour. Every night, we sat on the couches near the
beach and watched the waves and the stars. It was a
fantastic journey that I ever had.

"Don't eat just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell

me. "You might get a nightmare." How right she was. I
never believed her until it happened to me.

After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw

a figure sleeping on a bed. As I got nearer the figure
suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me.
It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She
raised her claw-like fingers and walked towards me.
I wanted to run but was unable to. I tried to scream but
found that I could not. In horror I struggled and struggled to
get away from the frightful woman.
The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself
panting on my bed. My goodness, what a horrible
nightmare it was! For a minute or so I lay on my bed not
daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and

continuing the nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed until the

horrible feeling passed. From then on I never eat just
before going to sleep.

all.
