24. FLIGHT HOME (RAYMOND)

I woke up to the ringing of my alarm clock. I sat up in bed shaking violently and saying repeatedly, "Please don't leave me, Kitten." with tears rolling down my face.

This is my waking up routine which happens every blessed night. This nightmare normally starts as early as 3 to 4 am at dawn.

Most times, I do sleep at midnight because I always go to that room which is filled with her pictures, my kitten's pictures.

No one knows about my nightmares, not my parents, not even my best friend, only my sister when she had to sleep over in my house.
