it's like drinking hot chocolate

but with more screaming.”

"Iinkk..Iinkk.." 

How noisy this old printer is! Ugh! It's already 12 midnight and this noisy old printer almost asks for a rest! 

I feel very sleepy. Printing is taking me so long!

   Everybody is already sleeping and all the lights were off except for the room where the computer is. 

    I looked for a cigarette. I had smoked plenty so that I would not get sleepy.

I was about to go to the living room when I felt cold. I felt the wind that caused my hair to rise. 

I know all the windows and doors are closed because I was the one who closed them.

I looked at my back and there I saw the curtains waving. I was trembling with fear when I forced myself to walk when the computer and the light went OFF!

I got so angry because I could not finish my project which is due tomorrow because of this brownout. 

And to my surprise the light at the bathroom got on and I saw three lighted candles floating near the curtain.

I want to run but I couldn't because I could feel my feet were nailed to the floor. 

From where I am I could see a woman in uniform being harmed by a man.

Then suddenly, I remembered something, I know the woman! It's Stephanie, the muse at our school. The image was getting blurry and the wind is getting colder. I saw how she was harmed and raped. Stephanie was fighting but the man was too strong.

Battered, raped and then killed. I have seen all but they are all in the air. I wanted to help her. I saw a book, I threw it to the man but it just fell in the air.

After that, everything got dark and silent.

To my belief, it was all a nightmare. The next day I looked for Stephanie to check nothing had happened to her. 

I saw her happily talking with her friends. I came near her and made a pat in her arm to know if she is really alive.

She is alive, strong, beautiful and still have her sweet beautiful smile. I sighed. It was only a nightmare after all.

"Let's go babe, they are waiting at the mall," a voice caught my attention. It was the first time I saw him but the appearance looks familiar.

 When they are getting away, I remembered, I have seen him really! The man looked back at me. He looked at me with an evil smile on his lips.

The next day, it was almost 8 morning when I saw my mother reading a newspaper, which reads, "ONE WOMAN WAS RAPED, KILLED!!"
