DAY 10 - Sweet Dreams

I woke up pretty early, a little too early.

It was 3 am.

I had always been a logical person.

A logical person who chose to be swept by her emotions. After all life is meant to be enjoyed, no point in thinking things through, it's not worth it if it isn't fun, right?

But this was different.

Whenever things went wrong, well even when they didn't, but especially when they went wrong, I was always haunted by nightmares.

And even as a logical person who didn't believe in ghosts, at 3 am after horrifying nightmares all I could always do was freeze in place, not move a single finger or even my eyes in fear of seeing something I didn't want to.

Even if there were nothing, my mind would fill in the dark shadow in the corner to look like a lady standing, staring, glaring, the clothes hanging like a body floating and so on, my imagination taking away any possibility of falling asleep again.

I would break in cold sweat and hold my breath so it wouldn't be heard, terrified of the sound of my own heart beat, waiting always for the sun to rise, so there'd be nothing could lurk even in my mind to finally and instantly visit dreamland for a couple hours.

If I had to complain, perhaps the darkness outside and it's never ending night, that left me stuck in my nightmares even after waking up, was the worst part of my situation.

I couldn't even call someone, which I might have before in pure desperation.

I was like a child, and it would be quite accurate as it was a "habit" I carried since young.

What kept me sane now was the evolving system that had started to interact more.

-System thingy-

-Are you there?..-

-Hmm-
