As I Close My Eyes

I had nightmares at the castle. I did not exist. I could not feel a thing. Every part of me screamed, but I was stuck in a vast endless sea of nothing. I was dying. I remember the kids at the castle say that if you die in a dream, you die in real life. I wonder if that was true. I never got to ask, because I left that castle which haunted me to go to Eden Battle Academy where hopefully I can find a place to call home.
