Altophobia

Altophobia: A fear of heights or falling

The last thing I remember was falling asleep to the noise of a tire creeching on the asphalt. Then darkness.

I was in a my car. That was in a tree. That's about 40 feet above the ground. Since I was driving on the edge of a cliff I must have drove off and landed in this tree. Which was teribble for me, because I am deathely afraid of heights. All I could do then was sit in my car and not LOOK DOWN. I just sat there in the bitter cold. The car battery had smashed in impact with the tree and I could'nt get any heat. Every time I'd refresh my termometer app on my phone it would tell me a temperture 5 degrees lowere than the one before. This was wrong. When I had left my hotel it was warm enought to wear a short sleeve shirt in comfort. Right as the termometer hit 32 degerees i saw frost forming on what was left of my cars hood. I couldn't stand the cold.

It was now 20 degrees. I made my first move since my car had landed in the tree top. Quickly i reached for my coat in the passenger seat. I had just made a teribble mistake. As my hand had grabed the coat the broken door on the passenger side fell off. The car then slid to the side almost forcing me out of it. what I saw sent shivers down my spine. The car was somehow twice as high up as it was before. And there were far less branches keeping it up. I doubted this. I jumped back into the drivers seat due to my fright and then I saw that the tree had grown twice its size. I knew this because when I looked out the driver window the road that I had been on. I looked around the whole area to find some logic behind what had happended. Then I heard something. An unearthly screech that had ring of true horror to it. Like the sound of an animal dying and glass breaking. I had covered my ears in an effort to out the noise but it did nothing. The noise was coming from the forest on the cliff. I turned my head to face it then I saw something staring back at me. The screeching stopped. It was the creature from my dream.

I was frozen in fear. This was the first time I had clearly seen it. I closed my eyes hopping it wasn't true. I opened them again. Oh god. It was now creeping along the road. I saw decaying corpses of animals srung about on its body. Deformed bones and skulls hanging on its back. What had this thing done to those creatures? what would It do to me? I shut my eyes I was now crying. I pulled out my phone to capture a picture of it. People need to know this thing is real.

But when I opened my eyes It had vanished. I shifted to the passenger seat. The car shifted a little as well but not as much. Were was it? I looked around for it hoping id see it but at the same time hoping it was gone. Then a knock sounded from the roof of the car. A bough had fallen from one of the trees. It was in the tree tops! I quickly snaped a picture of It. The picture however was badly distorted and I didn't dare take another for It grinned showing me all of it's matalic teeth. It was about to do something evil. The branches fo the tree were retreating back into the trunk. He was controling the trees. Then my car began to shake. I jumped in the back and braced myself on the drivers seat. The car slide for a bit then it plunged into darkness. I was falling.
