Terrible nightmare

Ever since I got here, it has been relatively easy for me to doze off at nite despite the constant road noise. I'd have countless weird yet funny dreams every nite without fail. But Sat nite was a different story altogether. I was upset that nite abt certain things and couldnt sleep till abt 1am. When I finally did, I had a terrible nightmare that caused me to gasp and tear up almost instantly.

In the nightmare, I was in an empty square room with air-tight windows on two sides of the wall. The room was painted pale pink and had a relatively high ceiling. As I scamper around the room to find the exit, I started to feel my feet getting wet. Water started to fill the room, leaving my panic mind with no room to think. As the water rose, I saw familiar faces looking at me through the clear air-tight windows. One on side of the room, I saw my mum, my dad and my late grandpa. On the other side, I saw Kirk. All of them werelooking at me with anger and disgust written all over their faces. Never have I seen them so cold and heartless. Everyone had their arms folded and made no attempt to get me out of the room. Water started to touch my knee and I banged on the windows, hoping someone would help me. Help! Help! No one flinched an inch. They just stared me. Kirk started to give an evil grin and said, "I can't wait for you to drown".

Suddenly, I started to choke and water rose to my neck. My attempts to float seems futile as my hands and legs started to feel numb. I gave up trying to save myself. Many thoughts and images of the people I love started to fill my mind. The very people who were looking at me through the windows! I thought to myself, "What did I do to deserve this?". I was loveless, family-less, friend-less. As I became fully-submerged in the water, I managed to open my eyes and glance at the windows again...hoping to catch a glimpse of my beloved ones. They were no longer there. Then, I realised I was indeed all alone...........alone in a heartless and cold world. And deep in my heart, I heard myself say, "I am never coming out of this room alive".
