I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow; such a thing has not happened to me for almost a month. my sleep is uneasy, I have a strange dream , I feel like I’m about to wake up but I can’t move or talk, my body is basically paralyzed but I’m aware that I’m dreaming.
I’m in a dark-empty alley; venturing through the passage of void, almost like floating, someone is holding my hand and screaming “RUN OR DIE” over and over again. I try to speed up but in vain, I’m moving in slow motion. Something sharp and hot pierces my shoulder then my leg, the word around me begins to fade; an oily darkness seeps in at the edges of my vision and my body falls on the ground and I seem like outside of myself watching the whole thing: two bodies sinking in their own blood, I start to scream and forcing myself to wake up. I hear a voice ,” Sarah, Sarah wake up ,wake up, it just a dream” I open my eyes and I find myself crying and screaming . Mr. I-ll-be-there-for-you holding me in his arms and stroking my hair .
“It’s ok, it’s just a bad dream , a nightmare” he says
I take a deep breath and I say “ no , a horrifying memory”
