PESADILLA (COMPLETED)

REVISED PROLOGUE

...

A young woman escapes into a world of her own making.

A world where silence is comforting instead of lonely. A world where she is loved, chosen, and free to become whoever she wants to be. A world untouched by the pain that reality never fails to bring.

But how long can someone keep running from the truth?

No matter how beautiful a dream is, it can never replace reality. The more she hides, the more she loses herself. After all, no one learns to stand on their own feet by living inside a fantasy.

Then, the impossible begins to happen.

The peaceful world she treasures starts to fall apart.

The illusion cracks.

The voices become distant.

And reality comes knocking.

‎"Hindi ko kakayaning wala ka.."
‎
‎"Akala ko ba... mahal mo ako?
‎
‎Pero ayaw ko ring iwan si Elias.
‎
‎Ayoko rito.
‎
‎"Hindi ka naman totoo Elias eh... Bakit?"
‎
‎"Hindi ito totoo..."

When the line between fantasy and reality finally shatters, she will be forced to make an impossible choice.

Will she abandon the world that gave her peace... and face the painful truth?

Or will she remain trapped inside a beautiful lie forever?

In a world consumed by sorrow, anger, and despair, there has always been only one place she could run to.

But every escape has an ending.
