O'z dpttu dod

"Morning papa!" I was buttoning the last button of my shirt and at the same time inspecting my appearance in the mirror, "That'll do". Fortunately for me, my dad was more than happy to send me to school for waking up late. I shoved my feet in my brown 'adidas superstars' and unlocked the door. "I'll go down first papa!", "Alright son" he replied. I opened the door and was startled at the sight of a mailman, a large broad man with dark rings around his red swollen eyes and a sharp long nose which stood out between his bony cheeks, who was just about to knock on the door. What was he doing here so early in the morning? "Good Morning Chad..." He knew my name? Totally by suprise, he stretched out his right hand , grabbed my neck and started choking me. I kicked and mauled his arm in a futile effort to release his dead grasp trying to squeeze through his grip a "Let me go!" but all I managed to achieve were hissing noises escaping my lips. I felt the last remaining seconds of breath expend as he said in the most demented voice "I know you see me! I know you see us! Djr od pitd!" My dad opened the door and saw me shivering on the ground wiith tears all over my face.

I told him I fainted, having being asked to see a doctor was bad enough, I didnt need anyone to recommend a psychiatrist, I knew I wasn't mad. That wasn't a dream, my dad saw me. Are they becoming real?

By twelve in the afternoon, I was bored to death, but too weary to do anything normally. The small thought of my morning encounter made me twitch. I spent my afternoon sitting in a corner, trying to piece together all my dreams and find the link to the 'mailman'. It became so demanding on my mind that unknowingly, I fell asleep, which by then I would have begun to want to avoid.

I returned to the bench, the dreaded scene of Saph murdering her helpless friend. Everything was frozen in time like it was waiting for me to recollect and recognize where I was now, and it continued.

The stabbing continued, there was blood splattered all over Saph's arms and behind the gushing and slashing sounds, I could hear sobbing. I think she was crying, I don't think she wanted to kill. But Like one murder wasn't enough, she took the very same blade... and slashed her own wrist. Suicide by guilt? The seconds on her life were slowly ticking away. She kneeled over her friend's dead body and removed her scarf. No, it wasn't possible... it was Saph too. My mind was spinning, nothing made sense at all, my life felt like a box of puzzle pieces from all different boxes. Then the murderer leaned over and said softly, loud enough for me to hear, "O'z dpttu dod" The last word echoed continuously and I slowly opened my eyes.
