Escape from Furnace Contest Winners

As part of our earlier, week-long feature on Alexander Gordon Smith’s Escape from Furnace series, we asked you to tell us your worst nightmare. Two winners were chosen at random — each to receive copies of the first two books in the series!

Winner #1 is Linda S., who wrote:

My worst nightmare is about being buried alive.

When I was younger, my grandma told me about a dream she had about being in a casket and they were closing the lid and she was trying to tell them she was still alive.

Later after she died, I was in the funeral home when the funeral director closed her casket lid and I remembered her dream. Ever since I have an on-going dread of being buried alive or trapped and no one can find me.

It’s so vivid, I try to make light of this feeling by calling it my Timmy-trapped-in-well nightmare.

Winner #2 is Angela S., who wrote:

My worst nightmare started off being just a disturbing dream, until it started to become recurring.  I have had a dream where my teeth fall out so many times that it has become a nightmare with each dream putting me into stranger situations.  Usually it starts with me being somewhere with a group of people and my mouth feels funny.  When I reach up to feel it, a tooth falls out and blood starts to gush.  Before I can get the blood stopped, my other teeth are falling out, some crumbling.  I usually wake up scared to death, not knowing how to stop myself from drowning in my blood.   I shiver just thinking about it!

Congrats!
