The Sleep Paralysis

Chapter three

I look at myself in the mirror. I look wasted, terrible, blackness under my eyes, I am tired. I look at the calendar, today is 24/6/2019. I remember before 10 days was my birthday 14/6/2019. school will start after 2 months.

"Maya do you want some espresso" Asks my mom, with a loud and a clear voice.

"sure, but add some cream and 3 cubes of sugar" I tell her clearly. I need some coffee, I look tired and terrible. And I reached the middle part of the last book in the 'hunger games' series, in which I remember when Katniss was offered some coffee, and then Finick Odier told her to add some cream, and 3 cubes of sugar. since then I wanted to try that recipe.

I enter the kitchen with the coffee smell filling the room. I grab a cup of water, and wait for the coffee.

"here you go" Mom passes me the coffee, "biscuit?" mom offers me some lotus biscuit. I grab some.

"are you okay?" Mom says

"yea, but I have those migraines" I lie, because if she knew that I am having sleep paralysis everyday, she will make me to the doctor, and make my state even worse.

"again"

"yep again" I lie, again. I know where this is going, I am going to lie to whole conversation.

"okay, sweetie, if you want anything just tell me. I have to go with Tim to his Friends birthday after 30 minutes"

"okay, but where is Tim I didn't hear his voi" my voice trailed off.

"here I am" Tim says loudly, I could see the happiness in his voice especially that he is going to his friend birthday, which explains a lot.

"oh look who finally took a shower, the monkey" I say

"Hayyy, I am not a monkey anymore, after..." I see Tim counting his finger to find how many days left for his birthday. "a month, and 4 days I will become 10 years".

"okay" I say.

"Tim go prepare your friend gift, and wear your sport shoes" says mom while emphasizing on the sport

" sweetie I will leave you alone, don't worry I will comeback after 3 hours" I grab my phone to check the time, it is 11:32 am.

I drink my coffee, while I am being consumed by the thoughts on how should I translate those glyphs. I realize those glyphs have their own translations, as I remember seeing them on a challenge, where I had to translate them, I was to lazy to translate them on my own so I searched on the internet for those glyphs {check the image to know what I am talking about}.

The glyphs on the letter translate into "partu, vitam, mortem". I cling into those words, I cling to them as if they were a rope that will carry me during climbing a mountain. I hope they are what will help me.
