I woke. I was shivering beneath the blankets even though my apartment was hot and the heater was still running. I had dreamed again. I rolled across my bed to the side my nightstand was on and grabbed my journal. Fumbling for a pen and opening to the next clean page. I sat up and leaning on my elbow I began to write.
Day 97-
I dreamed again and it was the same as yesterday's. Except today, I saw the mans eyes. They were green.

I closed the book and put it back, placing the pen beside it. I sat upright and let my feet hang over the edge of my bed. I wasn't afraid of the monsters under my bed because my dreams, are much more terrifying. Rising I walked to the kitchen and pulled a cup from the cabinet. I turned on the tap and filled my cup. Leaning against the cool counter I drank. My dream is about a man who is stealing a painting. I know the painting because it's my own painting but, I always wake up just before I see the man's face. Tonight was different because this was the first time I had seen his eyes. They were the most brilliant green I had ever seen and I wondered who could own such a beautiful thing in such a ugly world?
