BANG!

David jerked violently as he was forced to wake up from his night's rest. His hand instinctively reached for the gun that he had kept on his bedside table since the first murder he committed. David didn't see anyone or any commotion around him. But the gunshots he heard earlier felt so real as if the shots were really near him.

It took a while before David finally realized that he was just having another nightmare. His hands were still shaking as he put the gun back in the drawer next to his bed. His life had turned into hell since he finally killed someone. David couldn't sleep soundly. His life seemed to be haunted by the sound of his gun every time he tried to close his eyes.

"Damn it."
