It had been a long time since I had a bad dream.
A bad dream of the ugliest of creatures chasing after me. A dream of tentacles squirming behind me as I ran for my life.
My life hadn't been bad. I was happy and carefree, at least I thought so. When I woke up, I wondered why this dream came to me.
Soon, I forgot about the dream and went on to live my carefree happy life. Ah but this time, this wonderful life I'd been having was finally brought to an end.
The homework I'd neglected piled up too high, swallowing me whole. Who knew the dream was an omen? Who knew I'd have such regret for not finishing my work? Would I even have time to revise for my looming exams? I was drowning. Sinking to the bottom of the seabed. I could only blame myself for this outcome. If I wasn't so happy-go-lucky. If only I bothered to do work.
Maybe someday I'll finally see the Sun again. If I start to work hard. And just keep working hard. So much that I'll finally break out of the chains pulling me down on the seabed.
But will a leopard ever change its spots? I doubt so.
