He was holding a knife. I saw blood. His ears were on the ground. He was in pain. I stared at him. He looked at me.
It was him. Bryan.

It was dark. I saw her walking. She was surprised. I saw blood. She did not scream. It was Emily.

Dear Diary,
I saw her. She was covered with blood. The knife got stuck in her neck. She couldn't move. She was screaming. I looked at her. She was scared.
Her name was Milli. She's dead.

Ilang beses ko nang binasa ang nakasulat sa journal ko pero wala ni isa akong matandaan. Pati na ang mga oras na nadadatnan ko ang sariling puno ng dugo at walang maalala. Ang dami kong tanong sa sarili ko at hindi ko alam kung paano ko ito masasagot.
How come na hindi ko matandaan kung kailan at paano ko ito isinulat?
As I sitting on my bed, I grabbed my laptop resting on my study table and opened it. I typed on the Google site "sleepwalking". After a second, many results showed up. I clicked the first one.
Sleepwalking, formally known as somnambulism, is a behavior disorder that originates during deep sleep and results in walking or performing other complex behaviors while asleep. In fact, it can be quite dangerous not to wake a sleepwalker.
Common triggers for sleepwalking include sleep deprivation, sedative agents (including alcohol), febrile illnesses, and certain medications.
I let out a deep sigh and continued reading.
Symptoms of sleepwalking include:
▪ Sleeptalking
▪ Little or no memory of the event
▪ Screaming (when sleepwalking occurs in conjunction with sleep terrors)
▪ Violent attacks on the person trying to awaken the sleepwalker
▪ Looking dazed (sleepwalkers' eyes are open but they do not see the same way they do when they are fully awake)
▪ Being clumsy
▪ Not responding when spoken to
▪ Being difficult to wake up
Napatigil ako dahil sa nabasa at napatakip sa bibig. Is this what happening to me kaya wala akong maalala? Apparently, I had a certain medications because of what happened that night. I had a trauma and I spent my one year at the hospital. It also mentioned that sleepwalking makes you do violent things and you totally cannot remember it.
I'm so scared. Anong gagawin ko? Should I go to the police and surrender myself? But how? They still have no further evidences about those murders I possibly done.
Napansin ko ang pigurang nakatayo sa pintuan ng kwarto at dali-daling isinara ang laptop.
"Homework?" Tita Paula asked. Kakadating lang nito galing sa trabaho dahil suot pa nito ang uniporme.
