Ok, I'm still a bit shaken up. It started in a dream (at least I THINK it was), and I was browsing the internet looking for an indie game to play (I'm pretty big on those). I saw one called "Rake" followed by a string of random numbers. It had no thumbnail. I figured it would be a scary game, like that Slender game, and I was in the mood for a scare. I installed the game, and started it up. INSTANTLY I could not move, though I was somehow able to move in the 'game'. My first warning that this was serious was that the level of detail was incredible, nearly the same as real life...and my computer can hardly run games on low settings. I began to somehow walk, still glued to my chair, and I heard a rustling...I wasn't wearing headphones, and the speakers were off...and I began to cry. Almost instantly after, I looked to my right in the game (this part is still vivid in my brain) the Rake, or some gray creature similar to it, was standing right next to me, moving closer. As soon as I fixed my eyes on it, it lunged, and everything cut to black. The horrible part is, I remember a horrible cutting in my chest and stomach. Never before that moment had I experienced true terror, and it is NOT a feeling I EVER want to feel again. I somehow was able to move again, this time in real life, and I began to cry profusely. My entire house was pitch black, but for some reason I was viewing things through a green filter, almost as if it was night vision goggles strapped to my head. I couldn't feel them if they were there, though. I began to walk into the upstairs living room, walking carefully and still quietly sobbing. I just got the feeling that something was in that room. I stood there, looking at it for several minutes. Once I thought I was safe, I turned around only to meet that CREATURE again! It lunged, its massive, razor sharp claws clearly heading for my chest. It faded to black again, and this cycle continued. And continued. And continued. It must have happened at least 15 times, and my sanity slipped away slightly with each occurence. I've been awake for about 12 hours now, which is the longest time I've gone without encountering that thing, but I still think I'm locked it that game, or my dream. It doesn't matter now. I can't even be sure what I'm writing is actually there, but I have to try, before it comes again. I don't think I can handle it again.
