It's suffocating.

Someone, please help me.

I can`t breathe.

I have to pull myself up.

Where am I?

Everything is dark.

I am drowning.

I can’t hold any further.

My vision getting blurry and darkness covers my sight.

I am struggling…struggling hard to swim but it feels like my body.

I can`t control my body.

I heard someone talking.

They can help me. I have to pull up my self to the surface.

I gathered all my strength and shout out…

“ HELP”

I pulled out my hand so they can see me.

But they are just standing there.... just watching... watching me dying.

At this point, I use all my strength but they just ignore me and I become powerless.

I use my last breath to call for help but I get nothing.

I am sinking deep and deep.

Where light is not allowed to enter.

The thing that is with me, silence, and that silence is scary......

I don`t have the strength to keep my eyes open.

It's suffocating...

I want to get free from this suffering...

Stop struggling...

“let just accept it.”

Let just die...

By this, I can get free from this suffering, from this pain.

Let's stop fighting.

But why?

Why I accept it?

What I have done to deserve this?

I don`t want to die.

I would not accept it.

But what's the point now I think I am already dead but why?

Why the hell this happening to me?

It's painful like someone draining my soul away from me.

I can’t bear it.

I can do anything just to get out of this situation.

Anything just saves me.

Someone, please save me.

Just for one chance.

I won’t forgive those who are responsible for this.

Argh, it's getting more and more painful.

Help me... Please...Help me.

Sudden chills go down to my whole body.

Someone whispers in my ear, "So you can give anything"

Who?

Who is this?

I don`t care just help me.

Sharp laughter fills the environment.

That laughter gives me shivers and sudden warmth at the same time.

Then there is complete silence.

My pain it's gone.

I still can`t open my eyes.

I don`t know where I am?

(abruptly something wraps around me)

Ahhhhh its pain-full something is strangling me.

I feel like I am being tangled in a strong grip.

You can give anything ( Someone whispers)

I said “YES”.

Its a"deal". (whispering sound)

The grip around me getting lighten.

I said, who?

Who`s here?

That voice again whispers but I can’t hear.

I am trying to open my eyes but my eyes are so heavy.

I can barely lift my eyelids.

I am trying .. yes. I can.. I can see the light.

I am moving towards that light.

I can finally get out from this darkness but what's that sound.

something ringing…beep…beep…beep.

I open my eyes. I can see my ceiling.

I am in my room…on my bed.....

And that`s my alarm......

For the past 12 years, I am having the same dream of my suffering and sudden chill then I woke up with shock completely wet in my sweat.

“ Thank you” dreams, For making my morning soooo exciting.

Aargh, I hate it but can't help it.

Back then when I was 9 years old from then that whole thing started.

I don't know how and why this is happening but I somehow compromise with it.

In the beginning, I freaked out and told my parents about it.

They thought that this might be the effect of t.v and computer games that I used to play and took my things away from me.

But guess what…nothing changes.

Then my mom took it seriously and talk to some people about it.

We took the professional`s advice and go for a psychiatrist for examination but no use.

My aunt suggests my mother change the surrounding will help.

So we leave our home and shift to a new place

but it won`t change anything as well.

My parents getting worried and stressed day by day. Being a single child it becomes more stressful for them and me also because I don't have anyone with whom I can share my feeling so I share them with my mother, being a child I didn't think that it will stress her more.

And one day my mom get admitted to the hospital.

She diagnoses with depression.

I can't take that anymore then I decided to hide it from everyone.

That was the day till now I didn't tell anyone from my family about my nightmares.

I am not regretting my decision my sound sleep is nothing in front of my family.

Anyway, what is the point in telling them?

They can’t do anything to overcome my fear so I use my methods.

I watch so many horror movies to overcome my fear.

I prepaid myself for my dream before going to sleep.

My dreams are nothing compare to those movies.

The only change is that in my sleep. I feel everything that is happening.

But those nightmares do not apply to my every sleep. It's only when I sleep at night.

Whenever I am dying in my dream.

I can feel the pain and my struggle for life.

Then I heard the whispering in my ears and then that laughter fills the environment then I wake up with chills.

I don't remember what that voice saying afterward and on a serious note, I don't care.

Why do I?

It's just a dream that stuck in my freaking mind like a broken tape that just keeps on repeating..... forget it.

I am going to be late if I don't speed up.

I am a sophomore student at my College.

I am an art student and I love to draw and sketch.

Everything goes well.

I would like to become a comic artist or something like that.

I enjoy my work and it's a great way to express my feeling.

I am almost ready for college and just about to leave...I heard my phone is ringing.

I looked at my phone it's my mom.

She uses to call me every day, especially in the morning to remind me to have my breakfast and bring my lunch with me as well.

She's such a sweetheart ❤️.

l talk to her for a while then cut her call. She always asks me about my sleep and I always reply... It great...we both pretend that that nightmare never happened.

I Grab all my stuff and about to leave, Suddenly my phone vibrates it's a message from my annoying friends.

She wants me to pick her up on my way to college.

I can't ignore her.

She's a bit annoying but she is the only friend that I have and with whom I feel like a family in this place.

Oh, I completely forgot to tell you my name. Hey, there my name is "Yash" and I am 21year old good-looking guy😁.

I have to leave my home town for my dreams, not because of those horrifying nightmares but for my career.

As I already told you I want to become an artist.

In my home town, no College offers the stream that I want to pursue, So I leave my sweet home and my family for my dream job as an artist.

And now I am here, new place, new people, and new life to begin with.

I start a new life with my old nightmares and new friends. I have two friends and both of them are completely different from each other. One is quiet, humble, and sensual where the other one is the opposite and super lousy.

Sophia is the first person I came across when I shift in this town.

She's a sweet, kind heart girl with a great understanding of nature but nagging behavior.

That what I thought when we first met later I figured out that she has way more qualities than just those.

Like she's also very careless plus lazy and a great blackmailer.

But all in all, she's a nice friend and a great human being and also she's the only one besides my family who knows about my nightmares.

We first met on our campus. We both are in the same batch and because of her easy-going nature, we both become friends.

Her house is nearby so eyepiece..... she bought me yummy homemade food.

She made me do everything she wants by bribing me with food 🙄...like her pending sketching, home assignment, and whatnot.

But in the end, I am happy that besides my family I have someone to share my problem.

Here we are in front of her house.

She is running towards me with her full strength that actually Matches the baby's tricycle speed.

She’s grabbing her stuff in one hand and chomping the sandwich with another hand.

She's a big foodie, she can forget her assignments but lunch “Never”.

She an average looking girl with approx 5'6 in height with chubby cheeks and round face.

Black hairs with round glasses make her cute.

She looking cute running like that towards me like a little chubby girl.

But when I remember that she's the girl who always blackmails me.

I come to my senses that this chubby panda is evil.

She ran towards me and I pretend that I am about to leave, she shouts out loud, “You dare to leave without me”.

I give her a cunning smile.

She's shouting that I am the reason for her late entry at college.

So... No food for me today.

See I told you she's an evil lazy person but cute tho...She hop-on and we rushed to the college.

"**College**"

The first lecture is of prof. Howth, thank goddess the lecture isn’t started yet otherwise we are not allowed to enter in his class.

He is a very strict teacher and always follows strict discipline but today he's imparting some information.

We ask for his permission and enter in the class.

We sit on our seats. On paying attention I heard about some visits for the final assignment.

It's a two-day visit to a specific destination where we have to observe and draw the scenery.

On the basis of our observation, we have to create an art piece of excitement as it’s my first time to go on a visit with my classmates and I haven't gone on a trip for so long.

We signed the papers.

I give my name so do Sophia.

We have to get our parent's permission for this visit so I called my parents and let my teacher talk to them.

In my class there are very few students that come here form different town otherwise the majority of students lives here.

My teaches approved my presence. The day of the visit is also being decided.

We are going on Wednesday.

The day after tomorrow. I am so excited.

We set off the class and go to the cafeteria for grabbing some snacks.

As I haven’t had my breakfast and luckily my next two classes are after 30 min. I am on my way to the cafeteria.

I am looking for Sophia to join me.

I noticed, Sophia, waving at me.

I give her a blank face. She put her hand in her bag and take out two lunch boxes.

At first, I get happy but then I see her cunning smile but for food, I have to take the risk.

I rushed towards her, she firmly put boxes inside her bag.

She said, "everything has a prize".

I know that very well there's no point in arguing with her.

I have already prepared myself for it so without wasting any time further I said, "let's get to the point".

So we end up in the cafeteria having our food and I ask for what she wants from me?

She said I have to do her assignment work regarding the visit.

I agreed because I know that lazy potato and if I denied she's going to pester me for the whole time.

On second thought sketching is my favorite work so I enjoyed it.

And by my own enjoyment, I can make that chubby also happy so there is no loss to get agreed on her terms.

Right.….
