“Kate?”

I wake slowly

“Kate…”

I slowly lift my head up

Kate…

The voice fades off

A dream, you think

You check your phone

2:28 a.m.

It’s early

Really early

Head back down

Drift back to sleep

“Kate?”

Eyes open

Another dream? You think

You check the time

2:28 a.m.

It’s early

Again

It’s takes a moment…

Drift off to sleep

“Kate!”

Eyes shoot open

Head goes up

“Kate!”

It is no longer a whisper

You check the time

2:28 a.m.

_The same time, _you think

A little frightened, you drift back asleep

“Kate! Kate! kate! Listen to me Kate!”

Not a whisper

Not a whisper at all

A yell,

A piercing,

Horrifying yell

Head shoots up quickly

Your sweating

Just a dream you think

Your sweaty hands grab your phone

You check the time

2:28 a.m.

“KATE”

You breath heavy

“What is that…” you whisper

“What is th-“ your cut off

“KATE, KATE, KATE, KATE, KATE…”

it never ends

“Kate, Kate, Kate”

You push your hands over your ears

You scream,

And scream,

And scream

It doesn’t stop,

It won’t stop,

Ever.

A dream. A dream. a dream. A dream. A dream! you think

This isn’t a dream…

“Kate?”
