It was a cold rainy day. Droplets of water trickled down the foggy window‚ and I knew immediately that it was gently drizzling outside.

Usually‚ I would only arise from my lazy slumber after hearing my mother’s “morning call”. Those thoughts left me and I continued on my routine. As usual‚ I went into the bathroom to bathe‚ brush my teeth and after that‚ put on my school

JOURNAL 3 (NIGHTMARE) “Do not forget to wash your legs before going to bed!” my mother used to tell me almost every night if I were at home. “You might get a nightmare.” I never believed her until it happened to me.
