True Stories - The Puzzle Nightmare By DJ Chris Plant

One day when I was home alone, there was a knock at the front door. It was the postman with a parcel for me. I tore open the package and inside there was a black box. Inside the box there were some puzzle pieces. I didn't think much of it and left it at that (to be honest I thought the parcel was for someone else in the house). Later that night when I was in bed, I heard noises coming from outside my window. A little baffled and now awake, I decided to solve that strange puzzle to keep my mind off of the spooky noises.

As I was putting it together, I realized that the puzzle was of my bedroom. At first I thought it was a wind up. Scared yet curious, I continued to solve the puzzle. In total shock, I noticed that I was in the puzzle (solving a puzzle) and that there was a tall dark man outside my window holding a knife. Totally freaked and dazed I looked up slowly at my window and there he was - the man from the puzzle - looking at me. I screamed as loud as I could and ran into my parent's room.

I tried to tell mum what had happened. She completely ignored me,like I was invisible or something. That was when I realized she couldn't see me. Horrified, I ran outside only to feel a sharp pain right in my back. I turned round expecting the man from the puzzle and heard a ringing noise. It was a dream (thank God). The ringing continued and I realized that someone was at the front door. It was the postman holding a parcel.
