It was the time of night,
Sleeping was an everyday struggle for me, but it wasn't an impossible task for me. I somehow manage to drift into sleep, but well usual nightmares always wake me up.
Today was different, today the not so impossible task of sleeping was looking like an unachievable task.
Shutting my eyes tight, I struggled to fall asleep,
"Please don't kill me"
"I have a wife and a kid, please spare me."
"Please------ stay away."
"Please don't kill me"
"I am sorry."
"I will turn my life around."
"Please don't kill me."
Opening my eyes, I sat up, it was a reflective action. A cold sweat ran down my chin, my body was sweating profusely.
Inhaling a deep breath I tried to calm myself down, it was an attempt to stop my trembling body.
"Fuck it," I said as I got up, heading out of the tent.
