The Letter

Chapter 1: Deadly nightmares

"When I close my eyes , the devils come alive."

Tonight made no difference to the other nights.

I was knocked up by my own voice, screaming. Automatically, I sit up on my bed. I haven't even realize I was panting; my forehead and neck is filled with my own sweat. A tear left my eye but I quickly brush it off with my thumb.

I press the covers onto me, comforting me from the cold air prevailing in my room. I try to close my eyes, but it's still there.

"Mom?" I hear the 13-year old me calling into the vacuum of darkness. I try to fight the tears in my eyes as the image of my mom lying in the bed of blood would pop out.

5 years had passed after that dreadful summer night in my seventh grade. I still have a hard time in sleeping. I always end up tossing in my bed from left to right, every damn night.

Nightmares about that day would come rushing into my mind. And as each year passes, my nightmares evolves into something more scary, more frightening, more realistic.

"Mom?" I call out with my own voice. "Why'd you leave me?" My mind continued for me as tears were escaping my eyes.

I wish I could erase those nightmares. I wish I could breathe normally again. But mostly, I wish I still have my mom with me tonight as I fight the demons inside me.

I sigh and realize that two more weeks to go and I'm off to school. I can't help but force a smile with this thought because I finally have something that'll keep me busy; something that will get rid of these taunting memories.

But before that, I'll be bidding goodbye these four walls I've grown accustomed to. I'll be saying goodbye to the shadow, who for five years now, has held me hostage.
