Reoccurring nightmares for Moon were typical in her childhood. Now that she was about to turn 18, their return after all these years is not welcome. But she soon finds out there are bigger things to worry about in her reality than in her subconsciou...
My feet are hurting, but I cant stop walking. How do I wake up? This isn't real. It can't be. There chilling sensations of shocks all over my body. Something is streaming down my face. Is that blood? No. Wake up. This isn't real. None of it ever is. Don't give in to it, it'll only get worse Moon you know that. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Please, I need to wake up.

"Ahhhh!!" I screamed, finally awake. Tears threatened to choke me, but a sudden realisation took pride of place. No longer was I in my bed where I fell asleep. This is getting bad..again.
The first night I remember this happened, I was just 7 and my mom had gone to sleep, it was 1am. Still tossing and turning I decided to sleep on the sofa as it brought me some sort of comfort as a child. This way I could leave the tv on and think less of my abnormally overthought, thoughts. I fell asleep...and the next thing I remember is being sat. In the middle of the road. In the dark. I was terrified. Thankfully back then my mother was there to help me.
This time is different though. Now I'm now 10 years older, and thought I was getting better. My therapist had given me techniques to try and prevent this, but as I stood on my porch with no recollection of getting here, they clearly haven't worked on me. I always hated going to therapy anyways.
I quickly reopened my front door and locked it behind me in a hurry to feel safe again. Looking at the clock on my wall, I could slightly see in the moonlight that it was 3am. And so thought about all the sleep I'm losing the more I stay awake. Goodness knows how I'd try to go back to sleep, but I still have to try if I don't want to feel groggy for the whole day ahead.
