She closed the door gently, but couldn't lift her hand from the knob. She leaned against the wall, frozen, with the confused expression of someone who forgot why they walked into a room. She pushed the door back in slowly, careful not to make any noise, held it there for a few seconds, and closed it again. No! she thought. Go, please go! Her legs started moving awkwardly, like they had forgotten how to walk. She pressed the button for the lift, but couldn't get in when the doors opened, and stood there motionless until the doors closed again. A note! Maybe I should go back and write a note! She started walking back quickly, so that reason wouldn't catch up with her.
Amidst the anxiety she slipped to the floor, getting her white gown stained with dust from the floor that has been deserted by cleaners over the weeks. Oh! What has come over me? She thought aloud to herself, if she had known, she would never have said no to him, the Love of her dreams! What really lifted her tongue to Betray her feelings? Possibly voodoo! Or maybe it was too good to be True! She lifted herself from the ground, I can still correct this wrong, I can still tell him my true feelings, she encouraged herself. She pressed the button for the lift, totally oblivious about everyone around her, only to find herself in the toilet instead of the hallway, she cried silently and quickly find her route back to the hallway and in no time hit the road to Victor's house. All her fantasies about Victor hunted her, how she wanted to be wrapped in his arm in cold night flanked by the erebos of the night , oh Victor is macho, dark and tall, all of these were birthed in her mind in split second, why did I say No? She screamed in her car. Halfway into the journey, she was welcomed by snarl up, what the heck!, she exclaimed to herself, and dashed out of her car as though she was being chased by a ghost. She decided to walk the other half of the journey, crazy decision but what is love without touch of madness? She started losing strength as she ate last in the morning and it was already dusk, but how can she eat?, when she has lost appetite for food, she kept journeying not minding how far the distance was, all she wanted was to say 'yes' to him. It was already 21:36 GMT when she got to Victor's house and noticed a huddle who were glum, what happened?, she quickly asked one of them, but no response. Still in discombobulation ,she heard 'Victor is dead', the voice sounded faint and unbelievable, that's my subconscious, she convinced herself. She inquired further but truly Victor was dead, he was hit by a truck on his way to his house, oh! Victor didn't have a car, he wasn't in Alicia's class, maybe that's why she said No, maybe that's why she betrayed her feelings. She was devasted!
She woke up terrified, what a dream!, scared to her bones, if not for the arm of Victor round her, she would have stayed awake.
nice
Thanks, and thanks for reading
Whew! What a nightmare. Yet, it seems almost a common occurrence for such nightmares to plague us when we would seem on the edge of forever.
That's life.
