"Please leave me, please.". Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded to the man which made him chuckle darkly.

He stamped his foot on my hand with force as I screamed. He bent down to my bruised, naked figure as he landed a tight slap on my face. I couldn't see my face but I was sure my cheek was red.

"Shut up, bitch." He came between my legs, he was about to fuck me, what had I done to deserve this. Will my family ever find m-

With a sudden jolt, I broke free from the nightmare's clutches. Gasping for air, I found myself in the familiar confines of my room. Heavy breaths filled the silence as I desperately sought refuge from the lingering trauma.

With a flicker of flame, I lit the cigarette, its ember casting a soft glow in the darkness. A deep inhale followed by a contemplative exhale released the tension that lingered within me. The city sprawled beneath, a tapestry of dreams and aspirations, yet within the confines of my mind, a recurring nightmare persisted.

In that moment of solitude, under the expansive canopy of stars, I wished for an end to the nocturnal torment. The city, with all its beauty, couldn't shield me from the demons within. With another exhale, I let the smoke dissipate into the night, a silent plea for the peace that seemed elusive.
