Saved by the Alarm!

I was running. I didn’t know where I was going except away. I slowed and turned around to see if it was still there. All I could see was two red eyes.  I started to walk backwards slowly. The thing kept coming closer. Suddenly I could see it. It was the gingerbread man! I screamed, then turned around and ran as fast as I could! It had to be gingerbread man! I ran into darkness, I didn’t know where. I just ran.  I had to keep away. It was certain death. Suddenly there was a ringing, my alarm! Whew! It was just a dream. I’m safe for now.
