Flashing in my mind is everything that I’ve ever been afraid of. This includes everything from failing all my exams to sharks. Losing my Mom also features. I need her. Unpleasant things. Snakes, clowns. The shadow walking behind me. Someone dangerous watching me while I sleep. I don’t even know who they are. Being attacked. Being helpless. Being away from those I love. I open my eyes. The real world. Daniel is carrying me in his arms. I am not aware enough to know where we are. The world leaves again. * When I wake up properly I am in my bed. Daniel is here, so is his sister. I hear them arguing. Angelica thinks that Daniel should turn off his emotions every now and again. It’s like so embarrassing to be his sister. She reminds him that his feelings have gotten him into trouble in the past.
