What Happens When I Try to Write a Story

Chapter 1

I shot up from my pillow, breathing heavily as I stared up at the ceiling. "Calm down Riley, it was just a dream.."
I turned to look at my clock and groaned when I saw the time, 3 AM. I've been waking up at this time for the past week because of nightmares. I sit up and look out my window, seeing nothing but darkness. I sigh and get up to have a shower.

My eyes burst open and I shriek when the ice cold water hits my skin. I quickly turn on the hot water and shower like normal. When I finished, I wrapped myself in a towel and looked at myself in the mirror. The only thing different is the dark bags under my eyes. I look away and get dressed.
