5pm in the evening,
Peaceful, serene and calming.
The sky was painted in hues of pink and orange as the sun set behind the horizon. The air was cool and light, and there was a gentle breeze blowing, rustling through the leaves and creating a soothing sound.
And there was our boy, Nishimura Riki, on the verge of passing out anytime soon. Clearly exhausted. Slowly dropped his school bag on the floor as he collapsed on the soft sheet of his bed. Only soft snores can be beard in the room as the said boy has already fallen asleep.
All of sudden, Riki felt like something weighting on him, something's there which isn't letting him move, even if he wanted to. Body aches in pain while he tries to move again. He's trying to scream but as no energy left in him, his screams sounds like nothing but whispers. Tears rolled down his cheeks, being unable to do anything.
He's hardly breathing, he's feeling suffocated.
I'm out of breathe...
I can't breathe.
There's a voice. He can hear someone calling by his name. The voice is oddly familiar to him. Who is it?
ki...
iki...
Riki...
Ri-riki....
"Riki!"
"Riki! Wake up!", Opening his eyes, riki found his mom standing right in front of him. "My boy I know you're very tired but have your dinner first, hmm?" He sits up on the bed, just blinking few times before staring at the floor, he didn't said anything back to his mom as she has left the room right after saying those words.
Huh? it was another dream?
I almost died again.
What kind of dreams were these?
I never had any before, before that night happened.
"Ahhh! its useless to keep thinking when there's literally no answers!", shrugging all these thoughts about the dream off, riki decides to head downstairs and to have his dinner, anyway.

The next morning,
Its a cool morning. With an absent mind, riki was walking through the path which leads to his school. Just when riki was about to take a turn, someone jumps right in front of him. Basically scaring the shit out of the boy.
"Hayashi aruna!!!" Riki yells, standing a few feets away from the girl in a very weird way. "Someday, I'll definitely die sooner than expected all thanks to you!", the boy says, glaring holes in the girl's soul. While the girl who's trying her best to holding the laugh back, failed to do as she burst out laughing.
