When Once Came

It all happen when once came. We all tried to sleep at night, but the scratching at our walls kept us up. Constantly, and Constantly it wouldn't stop until a few days later we had to run away, and look for another home. I ran by myself to look for another home. The place was fill with darkness and a horrible smell. By the next night I woke up to a giggling laugh. An odd fellow with a silly hat woke me up it sounded like he was trying to rap, but all he could do what giggles, and stare at me. Scared I ran once again. The next night I found a small place to stay, but the screeching, and loud bangs just kept coming outside my walls. The next day I awoke at night, and my roof was gone. I could still heard I heard the screeching sound just a few miles away. I just kept running and running. Eventually I met up with the other homeless, and they were listening to an odd fellow whom promised us that our homes will be fix. He had was covered in fur and had a yellow mustache. Some of the townspeople or should I say homeless follow the strange man. I didn't. I kept walking for a few days by myself until I heard the giggling again. I kept running and running, but it just kept getting closer to me. A few times at night I would dream of being in a office instructing some engineers. The dreams about them became constant each night. As always afraid of the roar from far away; I kept running. Then I ran into the strange fellow with the hat. He told me where exactly was I going since the fog took almost everything away. I replied "I don't know, but I gotta get away from that sound". With a giggly, and grim smile he banish. Once again I had the same dream. I wondered if I was going insane. A few miles after I woke up I saw a building that was hiring people. I told myself "With this land the way it is. Might as well start working". So I went inside. Surprisingly the workers met me with such gladness, and fondness. The secretary of the building instructed me into this very nice, and cozy room with a TV, and a bunch of papers about making clothes out of leaves. They never told me at what time I had to get out. Most noticeable they seem to be afraid of me when I walk around. Night came, and I ask the secretary if it was OK if I sleep in my office since I had nowhere else to go. With a frightened face she didn't object. I said "Very well. Have a nice night ma'am". My nightmares starting getting worse I saw this horrible man destroying my home, and I kept telling myself this will happen only once in my dreams. The next I woke up, and I greeted my dear secretary with a cheerio, and suddenly I went to the balcony, and the multitude shouted "Long Live the The Once-ler"
