Nightmare of the past

Red running shoes

I jogged down the dirt path breathing rhythmically.I slowly increased my speed, oak and chestnut trees flashed by as  I ran faster and faster  I thought about my nightmares .I was angry why me? Why couldn't I sleep without waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night ? I  was so tired and stressed I wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed under the warm duvets.Gradually I began to calm down and clear my head.I had completely stopped running now and I walked over to a nearby bench where I sat down and began to breath in the fresh morning air. 

It had begun to get colder and lighter I noticed.The Park was my favorite place to be and It was almost a routine for me to go for a run in the middle of the night down the path of dead leaves and twigs.I took a moment to admire the beautiful scenery.A carpet of colorful leaves had laid down upon the path majestic trees displaying there orange,red and yellow leaves lined up along the path in uniformed rows forming a sight that took my breath away.

Looking up at the sky I frowned ,it was light now and the sun had begun to shining light on everything below.I stood up and began to make my way back home. the leaves beneath my feet made a satisfying crunch every time I took a step.I couldn't be bothered to run anymore so I took advantage of my weariness and admired the scenery.As I made my way back home I stopped to bend down and tie my shoelaces. I looked at my shoes and sighed,they were red with white laces and well worn out from all my midnight running trying to escape the dreams.I was angry, when I looked down at my shoes I saw how long I had been running for and I was sick and tired from trying to escape my nightmares.

When I got home I locked the front door and ran upstairs I kicked my running shoes into a corner and laid down in bed still in my hoodie and jogging bottoms.I couldn't be bothered to change back into my bed clothes.I pulled my cover over my head and yawned.I just wanted to sleep, after all I've had a tough night .Gradually I entered dreamland.

The next day well actually later that day I woke up at 11 o'clock which was later than I intended to wake up.After the usual morning routine I decided to head to the library to study.It was a Sunday and I  had an an assignment I needed to hand in and a pop quiz i needed to study for.
