When I was a kid doctors found a tumor in my body. I don't really remember well since I wasn't very interested in the theme. I eventually got in a coma, trapped in a nightmare that went on and on. They are like memories, places that I remember being on with terrifying beings on them that haunted me. I felt alone. All alone. I wanted my parents, my friends, my home. But I knew I was trapped.
"23/05/1982, or I think that's today. I've lost track of time by now, I'll just ask the doctors when I wake up, I hope it's soon"
I wrote on my diary, feeling a little bit of sadness trying to make me tear up, but I won't let it, I won't let them get a hold of me and live in grief.
I walk through the train I am in, the train tracks making a comforting sound, was it weird to think they were comforting? I don't really know, but I really hope not. This was weird, very weird, I can't remember the last time I ate or drank, I could really use some red velvet cake right now, maybe if I imagine it and try to make it appear...
Suddenly, I feel arms wrap around me and pull me back, my eyes widened as I screamed
"ACK- LET ME GO!"
My heart was racing and the hands were still pulling me back fastly, I could see the seats and windows pass by. I wanted to cry, when was this going to end? Was it even going to sleep? Am I dead? I stopped trying, giving up, I knew it wouldn't matter and that it was just a nightmare but why did it feel so bad?
I heard a familiar voice call my name from a distance as the hands dropped me, letting me fall to the ground.
"Liam! It's time for school! Wake up, sleepyhead!"
I suddenly found myself in my old class, everything looked destroyed. The books being all over the ground, my classmates who were now turned into mere shadows with saturated versions of their eyes were throwing paper balls at me, laughing and calling me names.

I wanted them to shut up for once but I knew they wouldn't so I just kept my poker face and walked to the desks, trying to see something interesting to distract myself from those assholes. I reached out on my pocket for my Earplugs but they weren't there. I just let a frustrated sigh and walked to Aaron's seat, grabbing his notebook as he kept laughing at me. I saw drawings of the P.E teacher and the Art teacher kissing, I was surprised since they were both male and Aaron was very homophobic, but knowing it was only a product of my imagination it made much more sense. I start getting tired of their voices saying "crybaby" or calling me gay repeatedly, like my brain didn't have more imagination to make them call me something else, but thinking about it, it just know what they only call me. I walk to the door and see it's locked so I grab Hannah's shirt and without saying a thing I start banging her head against the door, she screams in pain and everyone stops laughing but I couldn't care less. Eventually the door breaks and I go out, leaving her dead with her skull crushed in the floor. I knew there wouldn't be any consequences since it was only a bad dream. I enter a weird space where there is nothing but a void, I float, everything was peaceful. I closed my eyes, finally finding peace. Suddenly I see hands with long arms reach out for me and I let them, they drag me somewhere but I don't care, I just let myself relax for some time. When I opened my eyes I was in that train again. I just layed on the floor, unsure of what to do next, I tried to remember good memories with my loved ones, but all I saw of them were those black shadows, I felt tears coming out of my eyes but I was all alone so, would a little crying hurt?
I started crying silently, hugging myself and sitting on one of the train seats, leaning my head against the cold window, was I going to see them again? Or was I even living right now? Those questions haunted me, going into my mind over and over again. Then I had an idea. Probably a horrible idea, but the only one that could be able to get me out. I made my way to the little cafeteria of the train and searched through everything I could see. Finally I found it, a knife. I really didn't care about the pain that it was going to put me through, I just wanted this to end for once. As I stabbed myself and twisted the knife everything decided to melt, Heart-rending screams could be heard, I thought that everything was finally ending, was I going to die or wake up? That's something I didn't know but soon enough I appeared in a snowy forest, knife in hand and a stab wound in my chest, suddenly, I heard an unfamiliar voice
"ah, finally awake?"
A black haired guy with pale skin and brown eyes sat besides me, he had an oversized hoodie and shorts, he looked unkept, his hair being messy and probably dirty, his eyes having huge eye bags and him being dirty with dirt and blood. It was weird, more than everything here, why could I see his appearance?
"How do you feel?"
He said calmly. I reached out for his cheek, checking if he was real
"Huh, not a fan of talking? Understandable"
He grabs my hand and puts it on his cheek, confirming he was real, my eyes widen as we both stay there for a while. Who was this guy? And why don't I remember him? Why can I see him? Why is he so friendly? I had so many questions which I knew would stay unanswered.--------------------------------------------------------------
