Dear Diary,

In few moments my sweetest dreams turn into a deathly nightmare. I miss them. I miss them so much that it pains here, in my chest. One moment my daddy is reading me a bed time story of Harry Potter. And then next moment it was all gone.

I was listening the story and then pretended to fall asleep. My daddy might be feared by other businessmen but I can easily fool him. Nobody, just nobody can fall asleep while listening to Harry Potter. But I had to because best part of Sundays was waiting for me. I can't help but feel giddy.

Soon daddy switch off the lights and murmurs 'good night princess' after pressing a kiss on my forehead. He slips out of the bedroom & I open my eyes. Ever so slowly I get of my blanket tiptoeing, careful not to make any sound.

I open my door to peek outside. Have to be careful not to be found! I cross the hall and make my way towards the big swimming pool. Daddy, Mommy and me have a small pool party on every Sunday. Daddy is busy with work on other days but on Sundays, he is mine. Since I can remember it has always been our tradition.

Before I reach the pool, a soft hum of music reaches to me. Oops! I am late. Got to hurry! I fasten my steps, still careful not to make a sound. I hide behind the glass door as I peek at Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy is laughing blissfully when daddy whispers something in her ears. They are dancing- no floating at the rhythm of music. Watching them dancing happily I smile towards them goofily.

My presence didn't remain hidden for too long. Daddy noticed me earlier than expected. He finds me every Sunday no matter how hard I try to stay hidden! He smiles and calls me 'Come here, my princess'. Squealing I run towards him and mommy. 

But suddenly scene changes and I turn from 6 year old to 17 year old. Now all I can see is how he shot my Mommy and Daddy. I am held by those disgusting hands - helpless, thrashing, screaming, crying while I see the life sniffing out of their eyes. Their body going lifeless. Their red warm blood pooling around my bare feet.

Somedays black fog isn't this dense. Somedays it doesn't feel this much choking. This fog is creeping towards me, binding me in it's darkness. It's suffocating. I can't breathe. 

I want it to stop.

Stop!

Just Stop!!!
