If this nightmare comes often when eating ice cream at bedtime, an allergy to some ingredients might be the cause.
Maybe just a change of flavor will bring back the enjoyment and a restful sleep.

Another option - try watching a funny cartoon ora love story. It is believed that what you see is ingrained in your subconscious.

Hi,

Whoooheee! Just the look of the critter in the artwork is enough to melt the ice cream! The dude has issues.

Fun story, and great presentation. Best of luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings

Ah, the old 'only dreaming' escape...

You use it well here, although maybe you shouldn't have hinted at it in the title to create more suspencse.

Good luck in the contest.

good use of dialogue to convey intense emotion
I always feel let down by "it was just a dream" stories, so the ending was my least favorite part

Ha-hah! Would you believe me if I told you that I have done similar things like those your protagonist did myself? Probably not, but that still doesn't change the fact that this does happen to many of us from time to time.

Nightmares, I find, are some of the best inspirations for poetry and prose there are. I just wonder if this really happened to you?

Well done, and excellent 100 word entry for the contest. The ending was totally unexpected, just as 100 word flash fiction stories should be written.

Good luck in your contest. :}

    I absolutely love your feedback and reviews Dean! I can't seem to get enough of them and no, this dream did not happen but I usually receive my inspirations from the other twisted dreams I have.

Yikes! I was relieved too! Who would have thought something as harmless as ice cream at bedtime could bring on such horror??

Best wishes for the contest, mystery writer.

Again ... yikes! :)

Have a wonderful weekend.

Firmly against the large pine tree. I found myself nude, bound tightly, legs spread apart.... the opening sentence seems a incomplete ... suggest: ... I was bound tightly to the large pine tree. I found myself nude, legs spread apart.

He instantly sped toward me, I closed my eyes. ... suggest: ... He sped towards me (avoid adverbs, adjectives that are not absolutely necessary)

I awoke(no comma needed here) to find a bowl of melted ice cream spilling over my lap. IT, by Stephen King was playing on the movie channel.
I cried out (with) relief and swore I would never eat ice cream before bedtime again.
