Last Night, Science Fiction Nightmare

I was a brown haired girl walking out of complex. The complex was both a modern building and my parents house. Inside the yard, I rubbed my eyes as if waking from a long sleep. This was a port town. You could smell the ocean and hear sea gulls. And in the distance was the largest structure I had ever seen. It was a sphere with huge black metal legs holding it up. It was in the middle of the ocean, but it was so huge it was clearly visible. It had a red circle in the middle that resembled an eye. But then it moved...slowly at first, and then quickly. It was an eye, this large structure was a robot.

I stood on the fence to get a better view. I wanted it to look my way for some reason. I kept thinking, turn this way, turn this way, as if possessed by something else. And then the red glowing eye turned, and a bright light burst from the eye, surrounding me in a reddish haze. An all encompassing feeling of dread took over. I knew then it was out to get me. I jumped off the fence and only then did I realize that my whole yard...no the whole neighborhood was littered with little robots with similar red eyes. Once I passed before them they began to glow and give off a quiet yet disturbing noise. I knew it was looking for me, and these little robots were its spies.

Just as I had this thought I heard motorcycles in the distance. It had just gotten dark and their lights were coming down the street. The little robots were lighting up every time I passed them. I had to get out of here fast. Were the men on these motorcycles coming for me? They stopped but I did not ask any questions. I threw one of the smaller robots at one of the men and kicked the other in the face. I quickly climbed on top of the motorcycle and rode off. Everywhere I went there were little robots. If I moved by them fast enough they didn't have time to pick up on me. I needed to go somewhere where they were scare and I could escape the city. I headed to the docks.

The docks were busy, ships and boats, storage stations, maintenance crews, boarder inspections and travel lounges covered the sea side. I ditched the motor cycle and just missed a roving little robot by diving into a storage unit. Inside were huge shipments of clothing. I helped myself to a new, more suitable outfit for sea voyage, and left quickly. I realized the robots could only detect me if they scanned my eyes, I walked down an alley of shippers and boaters and traders, looking down as much as possible. What I needed was a ship to sneak aboard.

Now that I was at seaside, I could see details in the huge robot. Flying ships seem to be docking with it, but they were leaving and entering from the other side. The huge red eye ball continued to move slowly, searching the land.

I overheard a couple talk about a cruiser that was leaving in just twenty minutes. It seemed like this was my chance. I sneaked aboard the docking ship and sat down next to a young couple. They were peering out at the large robot, talking about how strange it was when it first appeared but now they can't imagine the landscape without it. Then the woman asked why the red eye was always moving, and the young man said it was looking for a sacrifice, a human tribute. They turned to me, their eyes began to glow red, and I knew I was in trouble. I broke the glass window and jumped into the ocean.
