Luna

Mornings

I was falling, endlessly, into a dark abyss. I felt invisible hands ripping at my gown and skin. I tried to scream but nothing came out, only silence. Whispers flew all around me, I felt the spit of their hisses but saw nothing but the darkness of abyss floor rushing towards me. "Secrets shall reveal, secrets shall reveal, secrets shal-....LUNA IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR DAIRYER OUT OF BED, I'LL DRAG YOU OUT!!!" My unfit fathers voice boomed all around me.

My eyes popped open at this, and I looked around realizing it was just another one of those crazy dreams. I shivered thinking about how real the fall felt. "Dang, I really need therapy" I muttered to myself. "

"WHAT WAS THAT?! AND DIDN'T I SAY GET OUT OF THIS BED?!" My dad was always yelling, he never seemed to stop, but hey, a lot of things that he does seem never ending.

I quickly jumped out of bed as his worlds really hit me, thank God his words hit me before his hand did (didn't want that again). I stood, and he looked at me with bloodshot eyes telling me he had been drinking again. I bowed my head avoiding those eyes and walked away quickly to the bathroom to get ready from school and to escape from his presence. Indeed, my normal morning.

I walked normally half way to the bathroom, then looked behind me to make sure my father was not following me. Seeing the coast being clear, I ran and booked the rest of the way into the bathroom and locked the door as soon as I was inside.
