Chapter 55

Hands

Many hands on me, it felt like spiders were crawling over my body. They groped, trailed, scratched, pinched, slapped, punched all at once and I was powerless to do anything because I was pinned down by an unseen force. I couldn't even cry out... I lay still, feeling.

Suddenly, everything stopped. I didn't feel the hands on me anymore but I did feel immense pain on my right shoulder like I was being beaten by a cricket bat! The pain radiated until my whole body became numb. The only sign I was alive was the high pitched sound in my ear.

I woke up covered in cold sweat.

I was shaking and my injuries were throbbing painfully. The high pitched sound I heard was Kayden's ringtone.

I lay down again and tried to calm my racing heart. What a horrible dream?

I've never really had nightmares but whenever my dream replicated an event in real life, it usually meant there was more to it....or I was traumatized, like the first time I killed a man at the age of 12.
