The creak of the old workshop door chilled my blood.

I entered cautiously, clutching my wooden sword.

The smell of wood shavings remained intact, but something sinister permeated the air.

Suddenly, I heard a rustling behind me.

I spun around, wielding my weapon, just as a dark silhouette lunged at me.

We rolled on the ground in a fierce struggle. I caught a glimpse of its bloodshot eyes before its claw clawed at my face.

A piercing scream came from my throat.

I woke up drenched in sweat, clutching the hammer grandfather had given me. It had only been a nightmare...or had it?
