On Sunday morning, Marilena wakes up early and prepares for church. She dresses in her Sunday best and heads to the church down the street, her heart filled with a sense of peace and gratitude.
As she sits in the pew, listening to the familiar hymns and prayers, Marilena finds solace in the quiet reverence of the church. She bows her head in prayer, offering thanks for the blessings in her life and asking for guidance in the days to come.
As the Sunday service unfolds in the peaceful confines of the church, the morning sunlight filters through the curtains of Vanessa's bedroom, she slowly stirs from her sleep, her mind clouded with a sense of unease.
"Not again," she thinks, trying to shake off the lingering tendrils of sleep that cling to her consciousness.
