I cried myself to sleep.
Then the nightmares came.
In my nightmares I was burning alive. The flames burned my skin and bones causing me indescribable pain.
My screams were lodged in my throat and couldn't come out.
Then I saw the man smiling evilly at me, stretching out his hand to help me out.
He grabbed my wrist but I struggled in vain, sobbing and begging for mercy.
I woke up. My arms and back hurt. My eyes were swollen from crying, my throat was dry and my head ached.
Climbing down the stairs, I headed for the living room. My cousins were asleep on the couch. Too tired to wake them up, I covered them with a blanket.
I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of warm milk and a bit of honey and gulped it down. I checked the time.
8:30pm
I sighed. I knew Ian wouldn't be coming home today.
I also knew I wouldn't be sleeping anytime soon.
I locked the doors, grabbed myself a blanket, sat on the carpet and watched tv.
Two hours later, I got bored and started internet surfing instead. I wanted youtube videos that were supposed to be funny but just made me want to hurl my phone at the wall.
Next, I started playing fruit ninja, then shadow fight, then piano tiles, then nova legacy.
I gave up and started playing all the sad, depressing songs I had.
By 3am, I fell asleep. And I had another nightmare where I was on the ground that winter years ago, freezing to death with the same man standing beside me laughing.
Hey everyone!
I got a new cover! Anyway, umm so this was quite a short chapter but there's more coming.
Any thoughts? Comments? Would love some feedback!
Love,
