Nightmares

October 15, 2009

Then, I felt the earth move violently. It was an earthquake. I can hear my father calling out to me, panicking. I do not know if it was for his or for my life. The shaking would cause everything to fall, the Ferrari parts of my toy cars, the vases, the television, even the wall. Yet, I do not understand. How can I be in my house there when I am here in my room alone? I tried to get up; my father still calling out to me. I could not stand up. I can already see my body lying on my bed, eyes still closed. Get up! Get up!

My eyes opened. My heart was running as fast as I could imagine. I wonder how my daydream turned out to be this nightmare.
