week 4

CHAPTER 3

I woke up with a start in the middle of the night. I was sweating all over my body, especially my forehead. I turn over in bed and turn on the switch. The lights burn my eyes and they feel like they are going to turn to dust. Slowly, my eyes get used to the light and I get up and head towards the washroom. My head is spinning from the days events, and how it might impact me in the future was unknown, but it wasn’t going to be good. I wiped my body with a towel and poured myself a hard cold drink of water. My headache seems to have eased up, but my thoughts were swirling inside my head. I head back to bed and lie down. Knowing I will not be able to force myself to sleep, I look for a book to read. As I’m looking, I pass by a card. It was given to me on my birthday. I open it and read the inside:
Dear Peter;

All of the best wishes on your many adventures. May you prosper in all off your accomplishments. Here is a little economic help and best of wishes.

Sincerely, Cynthia

How long ago it seemed of Cynthia’s passing away, but like I always do, if I try hard enough I can forget even the most worst of things ever to have happened. And that is what I plan to do for this entire day. Well, actually I want to forget yesterday, since it is already past midnight. I don’t read my book and just decide to lie down in bed, turn off the lights and hope to fall asleep. After what seemed like a profoundly long time, my eyes closed and my head wandered in my dreams.
