Chapter 15

<<Clatter>>

The noise downstairs woke me up.

I opened my eyes slowly, feeling exhausted.

All I could see was the ceiling.

“Again?” - I thought while yawning slowly as I sat down on my bed.

It seems I keep having nightmares every night.

My eyelids felt heavy so I closed them a bit. I felt way too tired after all.

<<Clatter>>

Again, it’s noisy downstairs.

-

<<Crash>>

<<Crash>>

<<Crash>>

One after another, plates kept being broken downstairs.

<<Crash>>

<<Crash>>

As usual, Mom is in a bad mood.

I looked around and lazily streched my neck to catch a glimpse of the clock on the wall.

“10:23 a.m.”

“Oh...” - I whispered to myself.

I should be in class at this time. If she finds me, I’m dead.

And so, I went back to sleep.

After all, her eyesight is bad and she can’t see me all the way up here.
