A person walks up to the front door of house 159, holds up an axe, swings, and then steps in.
Conner wakes up out of breath to the same dream he has almost every night. He looks around, gets out of bed and walks downstairs. The clock reads 3:45 AM. He looks at the front door - no sign of anyone.
“What’s wrong with me?” Conner whispers to himself then slips back into bed. Conner wakes up again to his alarm clock going off. Again, he steps out of bed, and then his nose catches the smell of waffles wafting through the air. Conner leaps down the stairs, scarfs down his waffles then heads to his friend Marcus’s house. He passes an old abandoned house on the way, house 1313 where two kids went missing. People say to never move into the Deer Run neighborhood because of it, and it’s kind of a weird name because there’s never any deer around the development. On the walk he remembers the house in his dream, number 159. Why does that sound familiar? And then he remembers that it's Marcus's house!
Caution tape is wrapped around the outside of Marcus’s house. He then looks at the front door. There’s a giant crack in it. It looks like something an axe would do. Police come out carrying a board covered in sheets. They place the board in an ambulance. Conner realizes that those were people under those sheets! Conner rushes over to a police officer and asks, “What happened?!”
“Someone broke in last night, and there were no survivors,” the cop replies. Conner feels tears stream over his face. “Oh, was that your friend's house? Um, I’m sorry buddy.” Then the cop just walks away.
A week later, Conner’s attending the funeral for Marcus’s family. No one who's lived here had remembered such a sad scene since some dude named Kyler died about 10 years ago. The only good thing to come of this tragedy is that Conner hasn’t had his terrifying dream about house 159 since Marcus’s death.
That night, Conner has a dream of the same guy holding an axe. He wakes up and decides to go back to bed because this always happens. Then somehow he goes to the same place in his dream. The stranger walks inside. Conner realizes that the house is his house! His mind goes straight to Marcus. He tries to wake up but he can’t really. He hits himself. “Wake up, wake up!” he shouts in the dream. But the image starts to fade, and there’s no reason to try any harder because Conner’s not going to wake up. This is the last thought Conner has before it goes black. Then nothing.
