Not A Feverish Dream

It was like a feverish dream, but I swear it was real.

I awoke to a sensation of dread, of being watched. I ran, nightclothes billowing, into the streets. A shadow followed.

Alas! a dead end, lost, hopeless, my pursuer close. A desperate search revealed a knob screwed into the wall. I grabbed and turned, hoping to open a door, but all I got was a yelp, ‘Careful! T’is me nose!’

I jumped back. ‘My pardon, sir! But something chases me.’

Two large eyes squinted down. ‘Then enter’, and I fell through a portal but landed softly, awake in bed.
