"Please," I hear my voice

"Please," I hear my voice.

It sounds different, though. Younger.

"Please."

No. No, no, no.

"Please."

I can smell the smell of copper.

"Please."

I can feel the humid air on my skin.

"Please."

I feel everything all over again.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

Suddenly, I'm back in my room in Barcelona, covered in sweat and panting.

I can still feel the inflictions on my body from the dream. Every mark, scar.

My body feels on fire.

I can't breathe.

I can gel the panic attack coming on.

It's like the walls are closing in on me. And I can't do anything about it. I can't stop them. Once again.

I can't breathe.

I try to force my lungs to expand, but my heart is racing. My mind is a mash, switching between the nightmare and reality, not being able to differ which is which.

My hand grips my chest, hoping to somehow force my lungs to work.

I push the sheets away frantically.

Panic takes hold of me, swallowing me whole. My hands shake as they rest upon my racing heart. I try to take a few calming breaths, but I barely get any air, and my exhales come out shaky.

With a trembling hand, I reach to my nightstand, feeling around the darkness, hoping that I haven't misplaced the pills.

I take the first pill that gets under my hand, swallowing it dry.

A minute later, my heart starts to calm down and I'm finally able to take a deep breath in.

In a fit of rage, I throw the first thing that gets under my hand against the wall. A loud bang rings out through the room.
