Sample Narrative essay on “Your worst nightmare”
It was a dark windy night. The rattling sound of leaves and the aeolian sound of the wind were breaking the silence of that dark windy night. I was alone on that night as I was staying with my uncle and aunt. On normal days I used to sleep with my younger sister in her room and I think this was the reason I was feeling very lonely and the night was very astonishing. My mind was focusing on the aeolian sound of wind and the rattling sound of leaves and in the meanwhile, my eyes closed and I fell asleep.
 
I felt like someone was calling my name downstairs. I thought my mother and father are back from the trip and they’re here to take me home. I suddenly rushed from the bed and moved towards the door. My lips uttered, “Mum and Dad are you here?”. I repeated after a few seconds as no one replied. Suddenly I heard someone calling me to come downstairs. I slowly and steadily moved towards the stairs and then down to the outside door. I opened the outside door and went into the lawn. I again asked “Mum and Dad are you here?” no one replied. 
 
After getting no response I turned around towards the door to get into the house. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned back and saw that it was my uncle with his head injury and full of blood. I was shocked to see him as he died a year ago in a road accident. At that very instant I screamed and shouted: “Mom help Mon help”. Suddenly I heard my aunt calling my name and asking me to get up, it’s just a nightmare. I got up but was in severe shock. After some time I became unconscious because my uncle who died in a road accident a year ago was very close to me and watching him In front of me was shocking. 
 
I was taken to the doctor. The doctor provided me with treatment and gave me some medicines as I was not in my senses. Every night after that particular nightmare was very unstable as I was not able to sleep because of fear. It took me a week to become stable and forget about that nightmare, and I called it the Worst Nightmare.
