A Nightmare

I was working till late night, it was maybe dawn already.....

After boiling the water for tomorrow's breakfast, i went to bed. Finally, resting my head on my beloved pillow.

Unconciously, i drifted into dreamland. I couldn't remember what took place earlier on, but i know that i was in school and i saw kim and yam nee saying goodbye to me and they left. I was all alone, and i suddenly remembered the announcement that asked all the students to leave the school.

So i quickly ran back to the classroom to pack my stuff. My sister came to my classroom and told me to hurry up as mum had been waiting for me for so long already. So i make haste. As i was rushing for time, i decided to use the shortcut.... beside the school hall. I couldn't remember that one there. The school hall look strange... not like the one in school. So, i entered a backlane which was surrounded by those bars we see in the prisons.... with some big cylinders in it....

I suddenly realise how stupid i was to use this shortcut as it was a dead end. So, i decided to make a detour. I turned around, but there wasn't any opening for me to go out!!!! OMG, look at what i had got myself into!!! While i was looking for a way out, i saw some movements behind those gigantic cylinders. I thought i saw someone with curly hair. So i look again... This time, i saw Pn Wendy standing in front of me, looking cross. Was i wrong to be here? I thought. Then i remembered that the school hall was undergoing some kind of renovation and students were not allowed to be there. uh oh. Pn Wendy said something like:" U don't belive what i will do to u? U think u can break the school rules without being punished? Give me your hand now!"

So i stretched out my hand and a stroke of cane laid on it. Ouch! With my hand feeling stingingly painful, i left the hall. Pn Wendy had dissapeared to catch the other students in the hall.....

The school hall suddenly turned into a shopping mall, there were shops on my left and right. It was a magnificent shopping complex... However, the escalators were high, long and awfully scary....! I had a phobia for escalators since young. But i had to take one of the escalators to get to the basement where my mum is waiting for me. I think i had taken a very long time and was sure to get a scolding from my mum.

Finally, i managed to open my eyes, staring at my handphone in front of me. Waiting for the alarm to go off. The sight of Pn Wendy, escalators and the shopping mall fade..... my heartbeat started to slow down. I checked my handphone to look at the time, it was 0527.... I had to wake up already, to reboil the water in the kettle, this is what i had to do when my mum is not at home.....

The end of my nightmare.... what a relief..... Pleaselah Pn Wendy, dun haunt me in my dreams anymore, i had been quite an obedient child, i think.... haha
