Excerpt From Trapped Within a Dream
by J. P. Uvalle



A blood-curdling scream from a woman jarred me awake. Darkness greeted me on all sides. I was on my back. Carefully, I reached out in front of me. My hands were only able to go so far before they met some kind of silk material. I pushed harder, testing the space. The hard surface wouldn’t budge. The air seemed to thin, my lungs struggling to reel in the air as the realization hit me. I was trapped in an enclosed space, a box or coffin with no way out. My breath became choppy, squeezing my eyes closed; the anxiety of being in a confined place pricked my skin with goosebumps. I could hear the blood rushing to my head as I tried to slow my breathing and think.
Then I felt it.
Little pinpricks on my legs.
Then on my scalp, soon on my arms. A few. Then several. Something crawled down the front of my forehead to my mouth. Oh, God! I swiped at my mouth with a scream, flailing back and forth. Tiny little legs, even some bigger ones, covered every spot on my bare skin. Rocking to the right seemed to tip the coffin slightly. I repeatedly rolled to the right while swatting at areas on my body where I thought I felt spiders.
The coffin tipped, landing with a loud boom, splintering open the dilapidated casket made of wood. The spiders spilled out around me. Shrieking, I jumped up to my feet to brush off ones still crawling on me and stomped on the ones on the floor: Axel, you monstrous jerk. The rest scurried across the floor in all directions, disappearing into the dark corners of the room.
