Dreaming of You

Dreams. I would wake up sweating after them.

Flashes of light and dark. Nothingness came to me in my dreams. Terrible beauty.

When I woke up shaking violently, I called my mum. I told her what I was experiencing.

I don't know why I thought she could help me since I had seen more than she could ever dream of, but we always return to our mothers when there's something wrong.

She called in a doctor and they had me take a test. They diagnosed me with post traumatic stress disorder. Mum explained it to me in gentle tones. I didn't listen, knowing it wouldn't help.

This had something to do with being a Lost Soul.

As I drifted further and further from my current reality, I sunk into one that was long forgotten; my original life.

As I relived it, I saw bright flashes.

White, pink, aqua, yellow. They all appeared through the black-and-white lens of the past.

Hesitantly, I followed them with my mind. As I got closer to whatever it was, the strands were easier to follow and I was able to drift faster.

With a jolt, I stopped moving.

As I gaped at the flicker of a site before me, I was pulled out of the darkness and into the real light.
