Nightmare

I had a very bad dream last night. It was no doubt a nightmare. The insanity... I could actually remember a lot of it...

I came back home from school. The clock was 5.31pm. I dumped my bag on the sofa as usual. Until when I saw a note on the table. It was written in blood. It read, "...Get your own lunch and dinner... Ingredient's in the kitchen..." I went into the kitchen and saw a horrible thing: My dog laid dead on the floor. Its blood was in the sink. A huge wound was found on its chest. I couldn't believe it. I ran out of the house to find my parents.

Upon leaving the house, instantly, I landed on the street outside Mapletree. I saw my grandmother holding an umbrella and approaching me. He limped towards me like a zombie shot twice on both legs. Then he raised his umbrella and swung it on me. I stepped back very quickly and avoided it. I ran again, as fast as I could north. Then I landed outside Marsiling MRT station.

There I saw my whole family. My brothers playing with their Nintendo DS as if teasing me because I don't have one. My mother raised a pendant on her right hand. She sneered at me. My father holding a very, very thin cane and walking towards me. He swung the stick like a madman hoping to hit me hard and making me cry over the pain he is capable of inflicting. My mother kept saying, "你是最没有用的废物。我要你快点死。去死啊! 死！" She repeated this curse on me. I ran even further away. Until I reached my Primary School.

The place was empty... There was no wind nor rain, but it was really cold. I walked slowly to the canteen out of exhaustion and fear. I looked around, first towards the direction of the basketball court, then towards the direction of the parade square. I turned around from there and was shocked to find two people there: That girl, and a stranger who was familiar. Slowly, I began to recognize him. That man, standing taller than the others, was... Evo Lin. Then I saw her raise up the very same pendant my mother held up previously. She turned around and tossed the pendant over the fence of the school. Then she hugged the guy and started kissing him and...

I woke up. I looked at the clock, which flashed 3.45am. I found myself shirtless, sweating and my eyes were wet. Could this actually be... life...?

But still... I'm alright. It's just a nightmare. This will never happen, I swear... Well, maybe the part my grandma try to hit me with his umbrella might happen.
