Recurring Stories

I have a recurring dream. I always see the same playground, same shadows and same people who I never met. It is strange but over the years, I have gotten so familiar with it. The dreams are always the same, but, the details changed as the time passed. The shadow I used to see became really large and terrifying. And it just kept engulfing me pulling me in the weirdest of places!

We all see a person from our past in our dreams, and wonder what the reason behind it is...

Your mind can adapt to such bizarre circumstances. It is a tool capable of extraordinary things, and in turn, it is an inevitable vulnerability in every person's system that can easily be provoked. A mind that can easily be conquered, the truest victim of pain. Despite this, it will continue to provide. It will sustain and ease. Always. For Darryl, it had been a struggle, separating the cruelty of life from his temple, his haven, his sanity. The burdens kept piling on and on, it felt as if there's no one else to turn to. An oblivious teen, an oblivious mind. He is, without a doubt, as desperate for change as they come. Though the road towards wisdom seems treacherous, his heart and mind shall unite, and together they shall guide Darryl to a pleasurable, if not enlightening, path. And once they do, not only will Darryl feel the significant change in his nightly life, he won't even know whether or not it had already started. *A Wattys Shorts entry*
