Cold…
It's so cold…
Why is it so dark?
Howls? Oh, no… Not now! Mom? Dad? Where are you? Please don't leave me alone.
Aaaahhhhhhhhh…
I sat upright on the bed, awoken by the terrifying nightmare. I was panting, my heart beating loudly in my chest, and my whole body covered in sweat. I gulped dryly and licked my cracked lips. I wiped my forehead with my sleeve and covered my face with my palms.
I only realized it then that I had been crying in my dream.
I didn't clearly remember what I saw, but I knew I was scared, cold, and alone in that nightmare. Like always.
I took a moment to pace my breathing and grabbed my phone. It was already 5 PM. I don't know when I fell asleep and how many hours I slept, but I was feeling worse after the sleep instead of feeling better. My stomach felt weird, my head was heavier, and my eyeballs were hurting.
