Sweet Dreams, Bad Dreams

Reoccuring Nightmares

Have you ever felt like you've plunged into a void space of darkness? The kind that leaves you numb, helpless, miserable?
Have you ever felt like you've been strangled by someone? The kind  that leaves you numb,helpless, miserable?

I'm not sure if you have experienced these feelings but for a 17 year old teenager, Anna, she have experienced it.

Not once, not twice, not thrice,
But over a zillion times.

----------------- Chapter 1 -------------------

Anna jumped out of her bed with trickling sweat flowing down her forehead.
Every single day was a torment to her as she had reoccurring nightmares that leave her in
anxiety and fear.

Anna's POV
"Ugh... why can't I stop having nightmares?..
  When will this shit be over? When will it leave me alone and just let me have a good sleep?"

My half-shut and heavy eyes scan the digital clock on my wall showed the time of 5 a.m. Feeling disturbed by the nightmare, I couldn't get back to sleep. I groan grumpily as I got out of bed and head to my study desk, which were piled with books. I pick a book out and started to read until I feel less bothered by the nightmare.

-- Time : 10a.m --
" Wakey Wakey Anna, It's time for breakfast! "
a gentle and familiar voice woke me up from my deep slumber. As I opened my eyes, I saw my Mother smiling at me.

" What time is it now? " I asked her

"10 a.m , we've to get out of the house by 11.30 a.m. Today's the day that your Brother, Kasper's competing in the National Chorale Competition." Replied my Mother in a serious tone.

I nodded my head and rushed down for breakfast. As usual, mum made pancakes topped with strawberries and scrambled eggs for breakfast every weekend accompanied with a glass of milk. I started to dig in and found myself finishing the food in satisfaction.

"Thanks for the meal, that was really delicious" I said to my mum with gratefulness.

Then, I headed to the shower.

-- Time: 11 a.m --
Anna, Kasper, Mom and Dad left the house and drove off to the competing venue.

-- Time: 12 p.m --
Anna, Mom and Dad took their seats as they waited for Kasper to be on the stage with his peers.
Within moments, Kasper got on the stage with his peers and sang a few songs.

Anna's POV
A chivalrous-looking guy that stood beside my Brother caught my eye. He had deep dimples, brown eyes that sparkle and eyelashes so Long that most girls would desire. I smirked a little as I looked at him.

The competition ended at 4 p.m and we hanged out together as a family in the mall for dinner.
By 10 p.m, we were home and tired so we showered and slept early.

-- Time : 11 p.m , on bed --
I couldn't forget his deep dimples, brown eyes that sparkle and Long eyelashes. I smiled myself to sleep and slowly, I fell into deep slumber unknowingly.
