One step closer

San was sleeping peacefully but then her eyes opened and she sat up trying to get some air. Her vision was blurry and she had to struggle to even breathe.

Her body was numb and sweaty but also it was hurting everywhere.

She tried to call for help for nothing came out of her mouth as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"S a n."

She heard a voice but could not see anyone.

"Y o u... a r e... a r i g h t..

N o... o n e... i s... g o i n g... t o... h u r t... y o u.

A r e... y o u... l i s t e n i n g.... t o... m e.

H e... w i l l... n o t... l e t... a n y o n e... h u r t .. y o u.

N o w.. t r y.. t o... b r e a t h... s l o w l y."

San did not know what was in front of her or even if it was a dream or reality.

She was so scared that she only wanted to get up from the dream.

She did what was voice was instructing her and slowly she was able to breathe.

Slowly she fell asleep again while Goddess of healing smiled as she creased her cheek.
