It was suffocating, like a weight pressing down on my chest. The image of my family's death replayed in my mind over and over, each time more vivid and intense than the last. The guilt consumed me, swallowing me whole. I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe, I could have done something to prevent their deaths.
I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of grief and guilt, reliving the worst moment of my life with no way to escape. Each time I woke up from the dream, I was left with a sense of dread and despair that followed me throughout the day.
But this time felt different. This time, the pain was sharper, the memories more vivid. The weight of guilt was crushing me, threatening to suffocate me entirely. I couldn't bear to see my family die again and again, to relive that moment of horror over and over.
I needed to find a way to break free from this endless nightmare, to find peace and closure. But how could I ever move on from the loss of my family when their deaths haunted me every night? How could I escape the torment of my own mind?
As I laid there in the darkness, the weight of guilt pressing down on me, I knew that I had to find a way to break free from this cycle of pain and suffering. I had to find a way to let go of the past and embrace the future. I had to find a way to live again.
Please add onto my story. In the story the girl keeps reliving her families death. Each time getting more and more intense.
The next dream shall be her family playing at the park. SO have her get dress and walk to the park. There she will relive seeing her family get killed by her younger self
Here is what I have so far. Add onto this
The first thing I remember is being under something.
Something heavy.
Yet somehow soft. It was kinda comforting, but only for a split second. Until a sudden bright light is shown onto my face. Squinting my eyes I use my left hand to shield my face from the brightness of which was the sun.
“Five more minutes Minty…please,” I say mumbling softly as I try to fall asleep again, but Minty wouldn’t let me. My blanket flew off of my body and my bed tilted so that I’d fall face-first into the ground. Exhaling I sat up and leaned against the bed. I bowed my head and said my morning prayers. Smiling softly she pats the floor 3 times
“Thank you for leaving me Minty…most orphan girls would love to be left some money, but you know something is better than nothing”
Exhaling once more I slowly rose up and stretched my back cracking as I turned my body to the left. Walking towards my closet I pulled my hair into a ponytail. As i reach for my favorite red sundress suddenly my blue sundress is pushed into my view. Tilting my head I smile softly
“You got Taste Minty”
Grabbing the dress I head into the bathroom. As I place my dress onto the counter the shower turns on and I slowly strip to get in.
After my shower and I get dress I walk down my hallway and slide down my stairway railing. Landing smoothly on my feet I heard towards the kitchen. As I head to the pantry Minty slides a bowl down the counter just in time for me to pour my cereal into my bowl. Grabbing my milk I slowly pour my milk into the bowl. Grabbing a spoon I slide into a seat by a window that overviews the lake behind my house.
Smiling softly small images of my family and I crossed my mind. Little me jumped into the lake and my brother Jimmy joined me not long after. My mother was trying to fight off my father who was trying to push her into the water.
Now all four of us were in the water. Laughing and smiling together. One big happy family.
My smile grew a little has I watched younger me slowly get out of the water. She turned around and waved at me. She had a frown on her face and started shaking her head as she started screaming. Turning my attention back towards my family I couldn’t see them. Standing up I rushed to the window and placed a hand on the glass.
A hand could be seen coming out of the water. Reaching for the sky. It was my father. He was drowning. I rushed to the screendoor and tried to open the door, but it was locked. I shook the door 3 times before rushing back towards the window. My father was gone.
Very slowly my mother's body could be seen floating towards the top of the lake.
Stepping back some I touched my heart. My eyes scanned the backyard for my brother.
“Where are you” I say to myself trying to find my younger brother terrified for his life.
Finally spotting him I see him playing with my younger self. I only got a split second of relief before I saw my younger self push his head into the water. Despite him trying to fight her she holds down onto him and before she lets him slip off into the lake.
My mind goes blank
The first thing I remember is being under something.
Something heavy.
Guilt.
