Flash Fiction #28
I had a dream just now... It was kind of scary in a way depending on how you view it. Hope you enjoy =). Also as a note, I did not abandon my mini-series writing project about Ken and Lily. It's just thinking of ideas and where to go and how to keep it interesting... Sorry about that... It's not so frequent as I had hope, but quality over quantity is what I think is important. And also thinking on other stuff too.

I'm tired.
Sigh.
I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my face with my hands after trying to pull out my hair. All over my desk had random pieces of paper everywhere with scribbles, food, empty pop cans, and opened books to pages I hope to read. I glanced at my clock on the bedside cabinet. 3:00 AM. Another late night.
A hot bath may clear my mind and rejuvenate my body to keep on going just a little longer. When the bath was filled with warm water, I threw my clothes in a hurry to the washroom floor and slid in with my eyes closed.
At first touch it was unbearably hot and I wanted to get out immediately. I decided to persist in the bath tub, determined to release my stress. Then I adapted to the higher temperature, and this became the norm. I could just fall asleep right there.
I actually did. My body slid further down the bath tub until the water completely covered everything from head to toes. It took a couple of seconds to realize there was no air, and my gut feeling was panic. I woke up, coughing and splashing about both bewildered and scared. As soon as I sat up and realized there was no immediate danger anymore, I sighed with relief. The only thing I heard was my quickened heart beat thumping in my chest, and the water droplets from the leaky faucet.
